I confirm in its entirety the deposition I made on 3 October 1946 before the Gdańsk District Commission for the Investigation of German Crimes in Poland. I would like to add that on 1 August 1944, a Polish combat unit was hiding in the house at Marszałkowska Street 33. I don’t recall its name, but I remember that it was headed by two people, Major Antoni Tomczak and Siwek, whose name and rank I don’t remember. Between 1 and 5 August 1944, this combat unit was shooting at the Germans from house number 33 on Marszałkowska Street and from the nearby houses and buildings. The Germans were on the corner of Mokotowska Street, on Unii Lubelskiej Square, and in adjacent houses. The action was unfolding along Marszałkowska Street down towards Zbawiciela Square.
There was another combat unit on Mokotowska Street, at the corner of aleja Piłsudskiego, defending the rear of houses on Marszałkowska Street.
As for the second question, concerning the circumstances in which the inhabitants of house number 33 left the house, I would like to explain that the Germans, trying to mislead the insurgents, ran a tank along Polna Street in the direction of Mokotowska Street, where a barricade had been set up. The Polish unit left house number 33 to go to the barricade at Mokotowska Street, and some civilians followed their lead. Meanwhile, the Germans took houses number 31, 31a and 33. They took people who were in the basements to Marszałkowska Street. People were led out by Waffen SS-Sonderdienst soldiers and Vlasovtsy [Russian Liberation Army soldiers].
As for the women who had been selected for tank protection, I would like to explain that I didn’t see this myself, but I heard about it later from women who had witnessed it.
I submit their names: Helena Siwkowa (domiciled in Warsaw, Piusa Street, I don’t remember the number), Łangowoj, whose name I don’t remember (domiciled in Warsaw).
The execution of men who had a grey Kennkarte on them took place at the corner of Marszałkowska and Oleandrów streets, in front of a burned out stationery store display window. The group comprised some 100 men. I don’t remember their names, but the abovementioned witnesses do. I recall one name, Henryk Siwek, husband of the abovementioned Helena Siwkowa. The execution was carried out by Waffen SS-Sonderdienst soldiers and Vlasovtsy. After the execution, a few grenades were thrown into the store.
I know that some of the corpses of those executed were exhumed by people during the Uprising and buried in a mass grave on aleja Piłsudskiego.
I stood with my hands raised at aleja Szucha in the Gestapo courtyard for five hours. I couldn’t see the park from there, but I knew that men were being taken there from German conversations I had overheard. I also heard shooting. I saw two groups of men, of approximately 100 people, led in the direction of the park. As for the names of the people taken to be executed, I know a witness of the event, Rzymowska (I don’t know her first name), domiciled in Warsaw, whose husband and two sons were executed then.
At that the report was concluded and read out.
