The witness, having been advised of the right to refuse testimony for the reasons set forward in Article 104 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and of the criminal liability for making false declarations, this pursuant to the provisions of Article 140 of the Penal Code, stated as follows:

| As regards the present case, I | am aware of the following facts: One day in the month of |
| June 1943 – I | no longer remember the exact date – German soldiers arrived in Ćmińsk |
accompanied by gendarmes, and detained a great number of men, telling us that we must go with them on a sweep operation against the partisans; they ordered us to proceed five steps in front of them. And so they proceeded behind us, saying that when they found any partisans, they would shoot them down. At the time, three laborers were busy working in the forest, digging up peat: Franciszek Proboszcz, Kazimierz Nadolnik and Nowak from Oblęgorek, the latter two from the commune of Samsonów, district of Kielce. The advancing gendarmes caught these three and shot them dead on the spot. Their bodies were buried in the forest, and that is how the whole “operation” ended.
At this point the report was brought to a close and read out before being signed by the witness.
