Head of war combatants' organization revealed as Nazi collaborator
It has been disclosed that the chairman of one of Poland's combatants'
organizations, now in his nineties, worked for the Nazi criminal police in
Krakow during World War Two. The collaborator was uncovered after the Gazeta
Wyborcza published a report on Monday, in which it revealed the money
swindling activities perpetrated by Wlodzimierz Sawa-Boryslawski. Among the
readers of the report were a number of war veterans who recognized
Sawa-Boryslawski. Several of them sent photographs to the newspaper, proving
that his real name is in fact Boleslaw Uliasz, and that while working for
the Germans he betrayed several members of the Polish resistance who were
later sent to concentration camps. Although Sawa-Boryslawski was recognized
after the war and arrested, he managed to escape, changed his name, and
joined a combatants' organization. The enraged war veterans are demanding
that the organization he heads, Krajowy Zwiazek Weteranow Walk 1939-1989 o
Polske Wolna i Sprawiedliwa, now be declared illegal. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p.1)
