We both witnessed when, on 15 July 1944, a dozen German military police officers, along with German informant Jaroszek, came to Mszadla Stara and took from their homes Jan Wójcik, Antoni Olejarz, Chołuja, Jan Mroczek, and Józef Borkowski. All of them were then led to the meadow of Szczepan Walaszczyk. There, the police beat each of the detainees with wheels, and one of the gendarmes held a gun to their heads, asking about something, and the other made a record. What they asked – we don’t know, because we were too far away to overhear.
After the beating and interrogation, the gendarmes led each of them over a ditch. We don’t know who was the first one to be brought to the ditch. A gendarme shot and killed the first one over the pit and shoved him down into the pit. He shot the back of his head. The next four they decided to push into the hole first and to shoot them while they were at the bottom. The ditch was dug by Jan Walaszczyk and Stanisław Kozak, both residing in Mszadla Stara, and Antoni Kusio and Antoni Strzałkowski, both currently living in the West.
