History / Poles executed in Warsaw '1939-44' [112]
I thought that I know a lot about the German occupation of Warsaw during WWII, but recently I was told about the thing I never read or heard of. Since both my parents are dead now I have nobody to ask.
Germans to terrorize population were driving people to be executed (I am assuming in the open trucks) around the town. They were dressed up in what I was told were paper sacks (not to waste normal clothing as they were to be shot anyway).
Does anyone knows about any of this, I was told that that was a "normal" procedure.
To you "Ozi Dan": I was named for one of the officers in my fathers AK unit who was captured, tortured and killed in 1943, his name (or pseudonim) was Jan Chamreto (or Szamreto).
