With regard to the present matter, I know the following: About the late Józef Nurt, who was killed by the Gestapo, I do not know where that Gestapo came from. In February 1943 in Gabułtów, Kazimierza Wielka commune, I, Stefan Porębski, was eyewitness to the Germans killing the late Nurt with a machine gun. I do not know why they killed him. As soon as they came for him, the late Nurt started to run and he was shot dead.
At that the report was concluded and signed after being read out.
