On 21 August 1948, Julian Żebrowski, residing in Żołnowo, Rogowo Commune, appeared at the Rogowo Commune Administration Office, and in order to determine the whereabouts of a German named Gustaw Pryl, he testified as follows:
Gustaw Pryl, a German, son of Ludwik, about 40 years old, during the occupation, in January 1940, took over the estate of Ludwik Napiórkowski in Rogówko, where I served as an agricultural laborer.
This German named Gustaw Pryl was hostile towards Poles. He paid very little to his servants, and if someone asked him for more money, he threatened, “I’ll pay you!” Additionally, I know that he beat Poles, including my brother-in-law, Franciszek Oklejewski from Brzeszczki Duże, Rogowo Commune. After the retreat of the German army, Pryl, whom I drove out of there, escaped to Germany to the district town of Soltau, situated 18 km from Hamburg, where the English troops entered. I stayed in the above-mentioned town, under the English occupation, from April to October 1945. The last time I saw Gustaw Pryl was in July 1945, when he was working for a German called Syfel. I never saw him again and I don’t know what happened to him.
I do not know his personal details.
