Fragment of the protocol on the murder of soldiers of the Polish Army on a Ukrainian from Kniazyce:
„On April 16, 1946, the Polish Army arrived in the village of Kniażyce at 5 o'clock. It began to carry out a deportation operation […] . the farmer Dziudan Andriy ran to his house to warn his family about the arrival of the army in the village and to hide himself from hunters of people in time. He did not reach his home, e.g. he had to hide from bandits. He hid in the barn of Pelc Theodore. The searching soldiers found him and began to beat him terribly with rifle and machine gun butts, one of the bandits broke his leg. They took the unfortunate man on fire, 6 wetboys sat on him and drove him to the village of Hermanowice. On the way they stabbed him with bayonets and made him sing [the Ukrainian anthem] «Szcze ne wmerła Ukrajina». In Hermanowice, they took him off the wagon and started beating and torturing him again. They pierced his left face with a bayonet from the eye to his mouth, stabbed his whole face with needles, pierced his body with bayonets, took his skull off his head and then they all told him to go on his arms and legs and dig a hole. Of course, the pile of meat, as the man looked like, could not do anything anymore, then one of the wetboys shot the unfortunate one. He was shot in the right side of the head […] The deceased was 35 years old, he was the son of Dmytro and Anna Hałun.
Stopover, April 27, 1946. Ja— [soft sign]”
