I know that one evening in August 1943 (I don’t remember the exact date), a group of German gendarmes arrived in Wielgomłyny. From Wielgomłyny they went on foot towards the village of Krzętów. About an hour and a half later, we could see the light of rockets being fired and hear rifle shooting.
On the morning of the next day, I learned that three people had been shot by the gendarmes in a field by the village of Krzętów. I also know that one of these men was only wounded, but the gendarmes finished him off with the butts of their rifles.
I would like to provide the names of the people who had been shot by the gendarmes: Henryk Lamkamer, Mieczysław Lamkamer, and Gajewski, all residents of Przedbórz.
I have nothing more to add.
At this the report was concluded, read out and signed.
