When the Germans came – as far as I remember, it was on 7 or 8 September 1939 – I was at home in the village of Dąbrówka. That morning at about 11.00 a.m., while I was tending livestock, my cows got startled by shots and scattered about the field. I ran after them and then I suddenly heard screaming and pleading, “Spare us!” Then I heard people shout and moan loudly, “God, Mother of God, deliver us!” I looked in that direction and saw some Polish soldiers, who were kneeling, and armed German soldiers who stood in front of them with their guns at the ready. The German soldiers didn’t shoot because they were waiting for their commander. Shortly afterwards the officer came and the soldiers asked him what they were supposed to do. The commander ordered them to execute the Polish soldiers, as he didn’t know what else he could do with them and didn’t want to take them with the German troops beyond the Vistula. He gave the command to fire. A salvo rang out. Then I walked away, as it was forbidden to stand there.
I know German very well because I spent three years in German captivity during the war of 1914, and later I was also working in Germany. The officer gave the order in a loud voice, in German. His words remain etched in my memory: “Alles mussen mitten Soldaten Schweine polnische totschiessen”. Half an hour later, when the German soldiers left the site, one of the Polish soldiers got up and went in the direction of the village of Cukrówka. He spent three days there. The local farmers provided him with help, dressing his rather serious wounds: he was wounded in the side and on one hand. A few days later the soldier returned to his native parts, somewhere in the Kielce region. Thirteen Polish soldiers were killed, and one – whom I’ve just mentioned – survived. I don’t know his surname.
I don’t remember what the uniforms of the German soldiers who murdered the Polish soldiers looked like. I saw that they had grey rubber coats and helmets. The officer was dressed in a likewise fashion. This German crime was perpetrated near the Zwoleń- Lipsko road, close to the village of Cukrówka. The murdered Polish soldiers were buried in a common grave in a nearby forest.
At this point the report was concluded, read out and signed.
