general info
The remaining „Makucha” ULS sotnya in Miechów was exploring the Nowy Sącz — Krynica — Czorsztyn region in September. The size of Polish losses is not known, because Polish historians have not yet become interested in this topic. Then it regrouped to Targowisko near Kłaj. Here, from Miechów, the rest of the legion joined. at the same time, actions against the Polish partisans continued. On January 12, 1945, clashes broke out in the vicinity of Zakopane. Wiesław Tokarczuk reports that prof. John Paul Himka, an american historian of Ukrainian origin, in the study „The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, the Ukrainian Police, and the Holocaust” published the following information: „Volodymyr Panasiuk from Rafałówka in the Rivne region, fought in Warsaw («insurgent» Ukrainian with Polish insurgents), he was then 23 years old. Before that – in 1941 he was a policeman in the OUN militia, he swore an oath to the Bandera government, in 1942–1943 he took an active part in the Holocaust as a Ukrainian policeman in German service, in 1944 he was transferred to the Sonderkommando under the orders of the SS and SD. In the Sonderkommando, the SS fought with Polish partisans in the Warsaw Uprising. He wore the Ukrainian national emblem, the trident (tryzub), on his uniform”.

Polish historians must therefore be handled by a historian of Ukrainian origin.
