Fragment of the interrogation report of Jan Toth about the murder of a Ukrainian, Bliszcz in Rzuchów, carried out by a unit of the NZW under his command:
„This week we were in Rzuchów, Łańcut poviat. We caught Bliszer who was passing the road [should be: Bliszcza], I don't know his name, he came from Piskorowice. I identified him and ordered 'Boruta' to shoot him. We left the corpse on the road”.
