The commander of the Home Army AK unit Lieutenant Leon Osiecki was kidnapped by Soviet partisans from a grouping of Colonel Dmitry Medvedev and murdered. „Reserve Lieutenant Leon Sielecki, the narrow–gauge railway station master in Moczulanka, who travelled with Osiecki as his translator, and Bagiński, who drove them away, were shot as well. Bronisław Chodorowski the former owner of the quarry in Moczulanka was murdered in a similar manner. The situation for Poles in this region was then catastrophic”.
