While he never mentioned this story to me, he did say that he had served in the Polish military. In the 1980's, he was a world traveller and adventurer. I just found a story written by his wife in which she mentions that he passed away in 1999.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-49637852457812485612012-07-31T13:38:43.054-04:002012-07-31T13:38:43.054-04:00For some people lack of evidence is no problem.

No bodies, no DNA samples, simply nothing. Polish SS guards from the camps live in uneducated minds. It's hard to kill those Polish Nazis.<br />On one forum some American claimed that John Demjanjuk was a Pole. Others didin't mentioned any names, but still they were so confident of their claims. Like they have just spoke with burning bush. It would be funny. If it wasn't so sad.<br />I must confess something. I have once hated Germans. My late grandma was telling me scary stories about them when I was a child. They were like bogeyman from the closet. I could imagine uniforms, guns. Never faces. Just shadows cast by the helmets. Years later I've met real Germans. No uniforms, no guns. I could see their faces. Their feelings. Friendly, older people, a little shy. They spoke slowly. Like they were afraid of some words. And my reaction. After that I couldn't hate them anymore. I'm not afraid of them now. I will now quote someone wise: "When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me".Łukasznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8471082069031980581.post-36920370994428622752012-07-31T12:10:56.276-04:002012-07-31T12:10:56.276-04:00Thank you.

I think of my family's past and all the things that have happened and I kept shaking my head at that posting. A lot of pain and anger in the post I didn't quite understand but it raised the following in my mind.<br />But the premise is that Poles equals Nazi and should burn in Hell.<br /><br />My favorite motto is, "In God we trust, all others provide data!" - the economist, Demming.<br />I had this on the white board of my office because I'm a computer professional and people make the strangest leaps of logic I have to address. <br /><br />So the premise was:<br />1) If Poles were doing the things suggested and are Nazi-esk, doing horrible things just like their Nazi partners.<br />2) Nazi hunters find and prosecute Nazi's and Nazi collaborators who kill, maime, etc. under the Nazi banner.<br />3) I follow the stories of ex-Nazi's who are caught and prosecuted and I can not recall the last time I heard a Pole was accused and prosecuted. <br /><br />My thought here was if Poles are a disproportionate percentage of the non-German Nazi pool shouldn't the amount they are accused and prosecuted reflect that?<br /><br />If there were more hard core Nazi types in Poland wouldn't the numbers skew that way? <br /><br />I'm not seeing it. I don't recall hearing about the hoards of Poles on trial for war crimes and helping the Nazi war machine. <br /><br />I have a strong connection to the Nazi era ( Freudian slip: I first wrote 'error' ). I study and write about WW2 and I am constantly in primary and secondary sources of information dealing with technology and it's use in WW2. I read about spies in WW2 and their influence on actions in WW2. I have yet to see anything suggesting that the Poles = Nazi's.<br /><br />I read a number of stories like the one I found in the Readers Digest book because after reading that blog posting I was left thinking I had missed something or I had my head in the sand.<br />So I spent some time going through my library of WW2 books and collection as a way of checking myself. In God we trust...<br /><br />Not seeing the Poles in any other light than the tragedy of what they endured. I will continue to present evidence.<br /><br />I felt sorry for the gentlemen who posted that because I know that type of pain, but I got through it, not propagating it, but letting it go and understanding the facts.<br /><br /><br />I wish him well. It's a small planet and we need to look out for each other. I can't undo what happened to his family, but he needs to let it go, and see the good that exists (existed).<br /><br /> OttoOtto K.

Thank You, dr Goska. And...That's a great story. Thank You, dr Goska. And thank You too, Mr. Otto. But I don't think that Roman Turski was a real name of that pilot. Can't find him on any list. Most likely it's a fake name to protect identity of the pilot. This story is propably true. It was published for the first time in January issue of Reader's Digest (1953). <br />By the way, the only Polish pilot who shot down 5 Luftwaffe airplanes in one day was Antoni Głowacki. He was from Warsaw. And he was shot down and badly wounded just few days after that. Maybe it's coincidence.<br />I have another story for You, dr Goska. I hope You will like it.
