Myrosław Onyszkewycz „Orest Karat” gave the order: „I order you to purge your area immediately from the Polish element and Ukrainian–Bolshevik agents. The purge should be carried out in riverside hostels sparsely populated by Poles. To this end, create a militia near the area, composed of our members, whose task would be to eliminate the above–mentioned. Our larger hostels will be cleared of this element by our military units even in broad daylight  […] The clearing of the area must be completed before our Easter so that we can celebrate it without Poles. Remember that when the Bolsheviks find us with Poles in our territory, they will slaughter us all  […] Make a hard, ruthless fight with them. Not to spare anyone, even in mixed marriages. To take Lachs out of their houses, but The Ukrainians and children in these houses should not be liquidated  […] Get the gun. Death to the Poles. Stop, April 6, 1944. Glory to the heroes! Orest, Karat” This order is in the files of the investigation against Myroslav Onyshhevych.

UPA troops attacked a part of the village called Podhajce. The Polish troops stationed in Kolonia Nadolka, in the strength of about 120 people, rushed to help the burned village. Soon troops from nearby towns began to gather in the greatest hurry and spontaneously joined the fight. The company „Żelazna” also arrived at the end of the fight. The Ukrainians, under the pressure of Polish troops, withdrew, but Pidhaitsi burned down. Population losses are unknown.
