"Arrested on 8 May 1947 by the communist authorities, Pilecki was tortured, but in order to protect other operatives, he did not reveal any sensitive information"
Wow, that was a rabbit hole I was not expecting to enter today. As a German, I was taught a lot about the Nazi regime, but for some reason, the raport was so direct, so merciless, it brought a whole new level of understanding for me. Thank you, for making me aware of this absolute hero and incredible person.
