UPA shot 2 Polish soldiers captured. IPN BU 1552/33, sheets 127–129. Manuscript in Ukrainian, all translated into Polish. „Protocol. On October 24, 45, a patrol in the 2 + 1 force captured two Polish non–commissioned officers from the Polish Army [Polish Army], who came to the forest with two carts from the village of M. and were to take [wood] and take them to Sanok. The patrol stumbled upon them unexpectedly, but the shots did not take place and they were taken alive. The prisoners were disarmed and their documents were taken. All the time they pretended that they were captured by the Home Army, and they were convinced of it. They were led to the forest and the reports were downloaded [they were interrogated]. On the basis of their documents and oral testimony, it was found that:
Pieniak Romuald, born in 1912 in Brzozów, Warsaw Province, Sokołów Podlaski county, Grochów collective commune – was a non–commissioned officer of the Polish Army, with a platoon rank. [The rest as in the documents.] [He left a widow Zofia Pieniak nee Sułkowska and three children, two daughters and a son].
Tomaszek Aleksander, born in 1926 in the Nowogrodzkie Province, Niepraw county, Hruszewycze commune – was a non–commissioned officer of the Polish Army, and had the rank of corporal. [The rest as in the documents.] […] On the basis of the notes they had with them and the letters of one of them, who was an East Pole, it was stated that they took an active part in the displacement action and in the battles with the Banderites. What is more, they began to guess that it was not the AK, but the UPA, so they had to be exterminated. So both were shot on the same day. Two PPSh, two uniforms, two pairs of shoes, only one coat and other small things were obtained on them. The loot was distributed among the shooters, and some things, such as the watch, went to the general use of the entire guard. He took the minutes… GE [Woron?] Stopover, 25.X.45”.
