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) J.K.
