Zbigniew Ziembolewski writes about the stationing of the SS Galizien unit in the farm in Myczków in the summer of 1944 in his book In the Sea of Hate (Krosno 2001), publishing the memoirs of Antoni Matuszewski from Myczków. Matuszewski reports that „in Myczków alone, they (i.e. Ukrainian SS men – note by S.Ż.) and the Bandera followers killed fourteen” Poles.

Probably the murder of 14 Poles in Myczków in the summer of 1944, some confuse it with the UPA attack on Myczkowce and Solina, which took place on October 3, 1945. At that time, 12 Poles were murdered in Myczkowce and 9 houses were burnt, while in Solina, 15 Poles were killed and 13 houses were burnt. (Żurek., P. 29).
