In retaliation, the Germans organized the pacification of Opatowiec by a battalion of Ukrainian fascists on July 29, murdering residents, raping women and burning buildings. Units of the Košice sub–district came to help the murdered population of Opatowiec […] , forcing the Ukrainian–German SS–men to withdraw beyond the Vistula.
