– I'm afraid they're trying to kill me again. First Germans wanted to do it, then the gentlemen from UB and SB, and now the Dutch legal strategy that allows alleged euthanasia. Just an old man who can no longer produce, incapacitate and conviction him to death.

That is how my colleague in the Netherlands died, who was euthanized by his own children... So I preferred not to take any chances and return to Poland – says LieutenantZbigniew Narski, born on 29 July 1924 in Warsaw, a soldier of the Home Army, “Zbyszek”, a Warsaw insurgent, in an interview with Adam Białous.

How did your conspiracy work begin?

When the war broke out, my father Bronisław, who was a advanced state authoritative and commissioner of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, was evacuated to Lviv, where the Soviets arrested him. In occupied Warsaw, I was left with my parents, my parent Antonina, my grandparents and aunt. That's erstwhile my conspiracy business began. First I was in the Scout Battalion, and later I was assigned to the AK office Diversification Board. However, the first diversionary tasks, already in Kedywa, were tiny actions – specified as the exchange of a street banner with the slogan “Come with us to Germany” for another, with the content “Eat yourselves”, or painting on the walls of “cats”. These were actions to tame us with danger.

Did you do another tasks there?

Later, erstwhile I was assigned to the “Andrzej” group... It was a peculiar Kediv group dedicated to larger operations. 1 specified operation was, for example, the acquisition of sugar for Warsaw. The capital suffered a serious deficit of this product – from what I know present this problem concerns the full of Poland. But returning to the times of war – in order to get sugar, we managed briefly the mill where sweet fruit products were produced for Germans. We later distributed the sugar seized during this action to various places in Warsaw. In total, we distributed 12 sugar trucks. There were besides combat actions and execution of judgments issued by the Polish Underground State on German criminals and confiscationists.

Do you remember the time “W” in Warsaw?

Very good. We were expected to meet at Grzybowski Square on 1 August around 10 a.m. There, according to the first plan, we should get into cars and be transported somewhere in the area between Zyrardów and the Kampinoska Forest, where we were to start diversion activities directed against German arms and supplies supplies to Warsaw. However, this plan was lost due to the fact that the German column stopped in Grzybowski Square and our cars were not there.

I went home and waited for orders. The control didn't bring them until around 1:00. I was to study to Sienkiewicz Street and study to the branch of the Military Rising Protection Service. These were units that were meant to prevent the demolition of certain objects in Warsaw, so that they were not robbed and not destroyed. I stood there and was assigned to the 8th company of the “Kiliński” Battalion. At 5:00 p.m. sharp shooting began.

What was the first order you received during the Uprising?

The first order is to occupy the Main Post Office building. To be honest, however, it was an impossible task, due to the fact that the Germans who were in this building were conducting specified a strong barrier fire with device guns that no 1 would have made it to the Post Office alive. Our Lt. Grey, I had the rank of lieutenant at the time, so he did not follow this order, due to the fact that it would be equal to the full demolition of the branch, without any benefit. That day I saw, for the first time, a shocking sight flowing through the gutters after the rain of red water from human blood.

Could the next order have been executed?

It was the business of the celebrated Warsaw restaurant Żywiec. It was located in a building on the corner of Marszałkowska and Jerusalem Avenue, in the Śródmieście North district, other the erstwhile main station. Shortly after we occupied this building, about 300 metres from the restaurant, German tanks stood and opened fire on us. They shot us like that for 2 days. There's not much left of our restaurant. besides adjacent buildings were badly destroyed. But there was 1 in which there was a furniture warehouse. That's where we settled in. There were about 15 men and 2 paramedics in 1 group. We even had beds and sheets.

We were rather safe there due to the fact that Germany was sitting across the street. So they couldn't bomb us due to the fact that they'd kill their own. So the Germans can't get any closer, we burned 1 of the houses down. Its rubble created a barricade that was impossible to pass for tanks as well as infantry. The Germans could only approach the street View. But she was very narrow and under constant fire. There was 1 very narrow passage in the barricade so that only 1 individual could get to the another side. So the Germans didn't take any chances due to the fact that they knew that everyone who went in there would be shot by us. In this home – furniture composition, we defended ourselves until the end of the Uprising. It was an crucial opposition point, as it was the only barrier for the Germans on the road from the Midtown North to the Midtown South.

What methods did you usage against the Germans?

These methods had to be adapted to the very tiny amount of weapons we had and to the methods of combat that our enemy used. German soldiers in only a tiny number participated in suppressing the uprising. The Germans utilized subordinate troops consisting of mercenaries of the alleged Vlasovists to fight insurgents. mostly they were Ukrainians, Russians, Azerbaijanes, Kalmites and representatives of another east nations. It was hard to even call them soldiers, they were just degenerates and hatchets who murdered everyone regardless of their age or condition. Fighting those losers was a fight to the death.

Did the Germans fight differently?

The conflict tactics utilized by German troops during the uprising consisted, in the first stage, of shelling the building to be captured, with tank guns. Then we retreated to the back rooms, most frequently oficin, and waited for this dense fire to end. Then the German infantry went into the attack, we watched it, and waited still. It wasn't until the enemy's soldiers got to the building line that we started the blow. Our tactics were a necessity due to the fact that we had very small weapons and ammunition.

If we tried to halt the attackers right away. The Germans would have let us fire ammunition and then they would have attacked and it would have been over. But we did not give them this satisfaction, we allowed the attackers to come close, and then we destroyed them as much as they could. Not only with rifles and pistols, which were few, but besides with stones, flasks – which fell into hand. The Germans mostly did not stand for specified a "welcome" and withdrew. That's what happened with our defence of the restaurant building Żywiec. Then there was nothing left to defend due to the fact that this building did not actually exist, so we installed ourselves in the home where the furniture was made.

Surely the conditions of combat and existence in the fighting Warsaw were not easy?

The conditions were very difficult. There were no toilets, so we were organizing them somewhere in the rubble. You know the smell. There was a cloud of dust over Warsaw, due to the fact that there was inactive fire. There was nothing to breathe. due to this dust there was no visible enemies, they were shot at their silhouettes scratched in the tumult of dust. You should have been careful not to shoot your friend.

Our friends and friends killed by the Germans were buried in courtyards and squares. We wrapped the bodies in blankets and buried a bottle with them, in which there was any identity card of the deceased. We put crosses on the grave. However, many bodies were left under the rubble due to the fact that they were impossible to extract. The current was until 1 September until the Germans captured the power plant. We drew water from the well due to the fact that the Germans turned the water supply right at the beginning of the Uprising. The food was besides fragile, especially at the end of our fight. Then we were all hungry.

Are there any peculiar events from the Insurrection period that are most in your memory?

I remember most of all erstwhile I was about to die. A very hard experience, which I'm not going to forget for the remainder of my life, was my individual action, during which I saved a wounded colleague's life. It lay on the floor, against the wall of a burnt-out building. This wall was under continuous fire by German device guns. Fortunately, they were planted somewhat lower than this level of the tenement on which my fellow sergeant lay, so that the missiles hit a line about 50 centimeters above the floor. Lying on my back, I crawled up to him, grabbed him by braces, collar and pushing him off the ground with my legs, slow shoved in.

Worse still, his friend was injured in the stomach, the wound was open. The Germans did not interrupt the fire. Bullets hit a wall half a metre above us. We were covered in bricks. I could feel the heat on my face warmed to the red of the bullets. The injured man was an exceptionally strong man, and he survived all of this. erstwhile I got him to safety, I was so physically and mentally exhausted that I just numbed and couldn't decision for a while, I couldn't even get a word out of myself. The sergeant was, like, 40 years old at the time, and he was of fair importance. I've never been so tired in my life. Then my colleagues pulled a young paramedic out of this building. German sniper hit her in the back. Unfortunately, the next day, she died.

Were there more stories like this?

One day, I went to the top level of our house, opened a window, and wanted to see what was going on in Jerusalem Avenue. Do not Germans approach. I tilted my head, looked and left my head below the window. And the minute I left, the sniper shot. A bullet with momentum hit the wall behind me. It was a shock. To keep my head in the window a second longer, that bullet would hit my head. erstwhile again, it can be said miraculously, I avoided death erstwhile I was on work in the building room, from which windows we fired a narrow passageway in the barricade that the Germans tried to pass.

I was standing by that window with a device weapon erstwhile 1 of the enemies unexpectedly fired a firearm grenade at me. However, happiness did not leave me. The grenade fell through the window and hit precisely the corner of the room, where the 2 walls were connected. All the shrapnel hit the walls and the ceiling, doing no harm to me. The only injury I sustained was proceeding failure for 3 days, due to the fact that the detonation in the locked area was very loud.

When fighting Germany during the uprising, did you hope that the Russians would come to your aid?

After the first fewer days of the uprising, we no longer had hope for outside help. We knew the Soviets had sentenced us to destruction. The Germans initially murdered everyone, it was inactive up to the local commander. any spared the civilian population – others did not. For example, on Wola and Ochota, it was 1 large slaughter. So there was no point in giving up, due to the fact that it was inactive equal to dying.

How did the Warsaw Uprising end for you?

In us soldiers of the Warsaw Uprising, the fighting spirit did not fade. Actually, we could have defended ourselves even longer. We were favoured by the urban conditions of the fight – burnt tenements or rubbles, canals, there we could hide, cover. The state of arms at the end of the uprising was better than at the beginning. It was worse with ammo. We had quite a few guns taken from the Germans, a fewer well-armed troops from Kampinos came to us, and something got there from these Allied dumps. Unfortunately, we had to halt for another reasons. The most crucial of them was hunger. Without food there is no way to live – and all the more to fight hard for all building, all room.

So we were forced to quit due to the fact that the fight did not make sense. Our command feared that the Germans would not treat Kedyw's surrendering soldiers as prisoners of war due to the fact that they were the ones who were most harmful to them. And in our unit, most of the boys were from Kedyw. Therefore, after the surrender, we were told to dress in civilian clothes and effort to leave Warsaw together with the columns of the civilian population. We did so with our colleagues. We walked through Warsaw on Grójecka Street with a civilian column until night. We went to sleep in the backyard of any broken building, and erstwhile we woke up this morning the columns were gone. We've all gone to the field. And so our fight ended. After that, I had many another passages, but that's another story.

I know that you have been pursued by UB and SB and for this reason, from post-war times until now, you have lived on emigration in the Netherlands. Why have you decided to return to Poland permanently?

Sorry. I'm afraid they're trying to kill me again. First Germans wanted to do it, then the gentlemen from UB and SB, and now the Dutch legal strategy that allows alleged euthanasia. Just an old man who can no longer produce, incapacitate and conviction him to death. This is how my colleague in the Netherlands died, whom his own children were sentenced to euthanasia.

I don't have kids on the ground anymore. My wife died many years ago and our only boy left at the age of 60. His wife, however, is alive, who would not spare me.

The Dutch police themselves warned me not to let anyone in, not even in my family. They told me that there is now a plague in the Netherlands of specified unusual accidents involving older people, mostly wealthy people, that they don't know how they stumble, hit their heads and die.

So I preferred not to take risks and return to Poland, where thank God there is no specified terrible euthanasia. In the Netherlands, euthanasia is moving on. In the parliament there is now a bill to advance euthanasia among people over 70, explaining it with the request to increase the welfare of society. This is inhuman.

Thank you for talking.
