President of Law and Justice (PiS) Jarosław Kaczyński questions Ukrainian participation in suppression of the Warsaw Uprising. The leader of the PiS stated: “Who committed this crime, we all know that Germany. There were another nations involved, but he was marginal. And they weren't Ukrainians. They were Russians. Although they were widely regarded as Ukrainians.”
It's an old KOR song. Friend Jan Witkowski (Year 1911, pre-war officer, soldier of the September run and the Home Army) told me that he was invited by any priest to a gathering of independenceists in the 1980s. There was besides a mentor of Kaczyński Jan Józef Lipski. And he's the 1 who's been talking about this kind of bullshit. He kept repeating them after that. Jacek Kuron.
It is clear that the Germans have utilized many collaborative units, made up of erstwhile citizens of the USSR and our Kres. These individuals included people of different nationalities including many Ukrainians. People surviving in the Second Republic were able to separate the Ukrainians from the Russians. Those in the Eastlands distinguished them perfectly. General Stanisław Skalski born in Kodyme he could indicate where the Ukrainian came from. In central Poland Ukrainians were known for their terrorist activities Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. After the execution of MMA chief Bronisław Pieracki, people paid peculiar attention to them.
Jarosław Kaczyński questions even words with his message Wanda Lurie (1911-1989) or “Polish Niobe”. It was on 5 August 1944, erstwhile she was 8 months pregnant, that she and 3 children and hundreds of residents of the surrounding houses were driven to the premises of the “Ursus” factory. There the Germans and Ukrainians committed mass genocide crimes, among the killed were besides 3 small children Wanda Lurie and her brother. Wanda herself, the bullet hit her in the neck, went through the lower part of her skull, and came out through her right cheek, knocking out any teeth. During the killing, she received 3 shots – both legs. Pregnant Wanda hit a bunch of dead bodies. In the evening, a German soldier looking for valuables stood on Wanda's body, damaging his left ankle and breaking his collarbone. Her watch was taken from her hand. Wanda Lurie lay among Polish dead people for 3 days. erstwhile she realized that the kid she was carrying was alive, she decided to save herself. After reaching the street, she was again captured and driven to the church of St. Stanislaus Bishop, where there was a transitional camp. From there she was transported to a camp in Pruszków. A fewer days later, she gave birth to the boy of Mścisław.
Her evidence is included in the files of the Regional Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes (OCZBN) in Warsaw (now IPN resources), the acts of the Nuremberg Process and the files of the German trials of Heinz Reinefarth. These statements are widely known and published in various publications. It says: “I begged the Ukrainians around us to save the children and me, 1 of them asked if I could redeem myself” and “at any point the Ukrainian behind us shot the eldest boy in the back of the head, the next shots struck the younger children and me”.
The brother of the deceased as a consequence of the air crash of the president, accuses the AK soldiers who, in their reports from the uprising, talk about Ukrainian crimes during the Warsaw Uprising. Does it mean, according to the president of the Law and Justice that Ukrainian Legion of Self-defense (Volyński Legion) Was it made up of cultural Russians? According to Kaczyński, the soldiers of the National Army “Radosław” and “Kryska” groups fought the Ukrainians as well as the sub-groups 1 Army of the Polish Army?
There were respective 1000 Ukrainians in Warsaw in August 1944. After all, even the most pro-Ukrainian historians confirm that in Warsaw there were 2 troops composed of Ukrainians (to Szucha and Wawelska) We know about the Ukrainians' service in Korpsgruppe von dem Bach and SS-Sonderregiment Dirlewanger. Ukrainians were besides in the Russian SS RONA Assault Brigade.
She was besides 14. Galician Volunteer SS Division, whose participation in suppression of the uprising is questioned by modern Ukrainian historians. In fresh years, besides part of Poland. However, Deputy Commander of the 2nd Group of the 4th National Army Circuit Lieutenant Jerzy Gołębiewski ps. “Stach” Lt Jerzy Modro, ps. “Rarancza” He reported that with the body of the killed officer he found papers confirming his service in the SS Division "Galizen". Describes this event, among others, colonel Adam Borkiewicz in his monograph “The Warsaw Uprising. Overview of military activities’. I firmly believe the soldiers of the National Army fighting in 1944 in Warsaw, alternatively than historians born many decades after the war.
