The Banderites murdered 22 Poles and wounded 17. „On August 15, 1944, a Soviet officer came to the village with a group of soldiers to collect weapons. On that particular day, an indulgence was held in Panowice on the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Herbs, and after the mass, parties were traditionally held in many houses, to which soldiers were invited. The handing over of weapons was postponed until the next day. All those who brought the guns took them back. Due to the presence of the Soviets, there were no night guards. At midnight, two UPAs surrounded the village. They probably learned from a Ukrainian, Rembalchenko, the head of the NKVD, that the weapons had already been collected in the village and taken to Pidhaitsi. Confident of impunity, taking advantage of the surprise, they broke into the village, burnt about 35 farms, murdered 22 people and injured 17. The shooting woke up the inhabitants, almost everyone had weapons with them, however, it took an hour for the single resistance in the chaotic struggle to begin to transform into organized defense. This unexpected defense surprised the attackers. In the end, the Bandera followers, suffering heavy losses, were forced to withdraw from the village. The Ukrainians were so sure of their victory that they prepared carts for transporting loot near the cemetery, and they were useful for their escape towards Hnilcza”.
