„Sotnya U–3 Bira — one of the formations, part of the Kurin 'Ren', a branch of the UPA, operating in the Bieszczady Mountains until 1951, based on the Ukrainian (mainly Boyko) population living there, under the command of Vasyl Szyszkanynnec (Iwan Kozieryński) nom–de–guerre 'Bir'. Some members of the former Ukrainische Hilfpolizei from Lutowiska (under German Nazi command) became members of this sotnya, but also about 30 former soldiers of the SS division 'Hałyczyna', that was crashed in the battle of Brody”.
