Jamna Górna

Excerpt from the situational report of the political clerk of the OUN 'Chłodny Jar' district, Petr Kawuzy 'Taras', on the murder by Polish Army soldiers on Ukrainians in Jamno Górna:
On January 11, 1946, about 180 Polish Army arrived in Rybotycze from the side of Przemyśl. The next morning it reached Jamna Dolna, where it caught two civilian couriers sent from Bryliniec and arrested another (boy). They took them all to Jamna Górna and locked them in the basement. They also brought a local idiot beggar to this cellar. Those arrested fled at night, leaving a fool whom the Poles killed the next day”.

Fragment of an interview with Mykoła Bobka, born in in 1930 in Jamno Górna about the murder of Polish Army soldiers on a Ukrainian in Jamno Górna:
— «Do you remember manhunts for partisans in the village?»
— «They did not kill partisans, but we had one not quite wise. The army came to the village, he said: ‹Wait, you, here, under every beech tree there are ten partisans, they will teach you›. And this [soldier] took the automat and, after it, killed him»

Jamna Górna

According to Polish data, 4 KBW (Internal Security Forces) soldiers were killed and 7 were injured in the forests near Jamna Góra in the fight against the UPA 'Burłaki' (Włodzimierz Szczygielski) and 'Kryłacza' (Jarosław Kociołek) sotnyas, while according to the UPA, 58 Poles were killed.

Meanwhile, Edward Prus states:
On March 3, 1947, in the Bananiów forest, poviat Przemyśl, about 60 soldiers of the Polish Army were murdered by the UPA gang under the command of Szczygielski. During one of the fights they were surrounded by a gang and murdered”,
[and] quotes „List of criminal acts committed by UPA gangs in 1944–1947”, compiled at the 'C' Department of the Provincial Office of Internal Affairs in Rzeszów. Is the WUSW in Rzeszów „List” based on data from the UPA?

source: Prus Edward, „Operation "Vistula"”, in: ed. IV, Wroclaw 2006, p. 292

source: Żurek Stanisław, „Calendar of the genocide – year 1947”; in: portal: Volhynia — web page: wolyn.org [accessible: 2022.03.02]

At the beginning of March, i.e. on 4th [of March], between the villages of Arłamów and Jamna Górna, in the Braniowski forest, a sub–unit of the Polish Army clashed with the UPA sotnya.
According to other data, in the region of Jamna Dolna, the Internal Security Corps KBW operational group of 114 people, under the command of Capt. Dzenia fought a short fight with the sotnyas of 'Burłak' and 'Kryłacz'. The losses on the Polish side were as follows: Lt. Zbigniew Bojanowski, so. Michał, b. 27 January 1926 in Lviv and 3 privates (Private 1st Class Stanisław Bednarek, so. Wojciech, b. 27 April 1924 in Mikonki, Private Tadeusz Matuszewski, so. Walenty, b. October 1, 1925 in Waliszki, Private Józef Pakuła, so. Szczepan, b. March 13, 1922 in Czeladź), and the UPA was to lose 38 people, which is probably an overstated number.
According to other studies, the Banderites' losses amounted to 12 killed and 10 wounded. There were supposed to be 4 killed and 7 wounded on the side of the KBW. The UPA also overestimated the Polish losses and put them at 58 people. Other sources also provide data on 3 killed soldiers, 1 wounded officer and 9 wounded soldiers. The UPA was to lose 20‑30 people.
Some studies mention the Jureczkowa area as the place of the clash, and the UPA's losses at 30 people. 28th Infantry Regiment was to participate in the battle
