Prior to the outbreak of the Uprising up until 8-9 August 1944, I lived at Reja Street 7 in Warsaw. I was employed as a central heating stoker in the building of the Academy of Political Sciences.

Before the Uprising the building was occupied by Waffen SS survivors. During the Uprising a Waffen SS unit from Grochów arrived in this area. I don’t know the names of its commanders. On 2 August 1944 the unit began looting the surrounding houses. Soldiers and officers picked different things and had them brought to the building of the Academy. Then they sent the packages in cars in the direction of Łowicz.

About 7 August 1944 the commander forbade looting by his soldiers. However, officers kept sending the packages and so did the soldiers, but secretly, ordering me and other civilians to carry things out of the building.

At this the report was concluded and read out.
