On 1 September 1959 Marceli Struszyński - a chemist, creator of the Polish school of analytical chemistry, who during planet War II was the author of the study submitted in the action "Most III" to the West. The paper afraid the technology of the German V2 rocket taken over in 1944 by Polish intelligence.
The action itself took place at night from 25 to 26 July 1944. It was about transporting couriers of the Government of the Republic of Poland to the occupied Poland. On the way back among the 5 crucial passengers was the intelligence officer of the AK Captain Jerzy Chmielewski, Pseudod. "Rafal", who carried information so awaited by the Allies about Hitler's secret weapon – the V-2 bomb, along with elements of the projectile, acquired by the National Army.
At the end of planet War II, "Bridges" were utilized in air communication between the Polish Underground and the authorities of the Republic of the West. There were bilateral flights at the time with a night landing in the occupied country.
Although the AK's willingness to accept aircraft on underground landing grounds was reported as early as 1942, it turned out that the English did not have the right machines. This only became possible after the confederate Allied business Italy in 1943, the way from Brindisi to Poland was much shorter and safer than the way from England to Poland. In addition, large spare fuel tanks were added to the 'Bridges' of the two-motor Dakota.
Three "Bridges" were organized in 1944. Last of 25 on 26 July, just before the Warsaw Uprising.
The first "Most" was held on the night of April 15th, 16th, 1944, at a landing site marked with the code name "Bąk" close Bełżyce, Lublin Voivodeship. The second of the 29th on 30 May at a landing site codenamed 'Motyl', located in Przybysławskie meadows, between the Kisielina River and the Danube River, northwest of Tarnow. The 3rd "bridge" was organized in the same place as the second.
"III MOST"
The 3rd Bridge took place from 25 to 26 July 1944 and was the most crucial operation of all. Both for the people who were to usage it and for what they carried with them.
Major Boguslaw Wolniak, Captain Kazimierz Bilski, Lieutenant Leszek Starzyński, and the emissary of the government and the chief of chief to the national authorities Jan Nowak, Pseudo 'Zych'.
From Poland to the west there were 5 passengers, including 3 political envoys: Tomasz Arciszewski, Pseudod. 'Stanisław' (leader of the PPS, appointed by the underground Council of National Unity to win the president of the Republic); the emissary of the Government in the West Dr. Józef Retinger, Pseudod. 'Salamander'; Tadeusz Chciuk, Pseudod. 'Mark Celt' (emissary of Prime Minister Stanisław Mikołajczyk and the emigration government to the authorities of the Underground Poland), he carried the largest political post in the past of Poland. There were besides 2 military envoys: a prominent intelligence officer of the AK Captain Jerzy Chmielewski Pseudod. "Rafal" and Lieutenant Czesław Miciński.
EXTRA PRICE TRANSMISSION- The most crucial thing was what he carried with him "Rafal" both in his head, in plans and documents, as well as in respective large bags. In them there was the main origin of abrupt operation - said Tadeusz Chciuk-Celt, silent, reporter of the Polish RWE Radio station.
The more V1 bombs fell on London, the more they came from England alarming messages to the AK, where the words "highest urgency" and "friends" repeated.
"Friends", that is, the English did not have time, wanted to see their AK intelligence specialist as shortly as possible, and especially wanted to have a method description and components of Hitler's second secret weapon – the V-2 bomb that he obtained the AK intelligence.
+WUNDERWAFFE SECRET IN AK HANDS
- I'm sorry. Soldiers of the Home Army intelligence during planet War II ripped out the secrets of Wunderwaffe to the German enemy – V-1 and V-2 bombs, and possibly even changed the course of past in this way," said Tadeusz Chciuk.
Based on various V-2 fragments that had stamps or mill marks, the interview identified 16 industrial plants, spread throughout the Reich, producing rocket components.
That is why a risky decision was made to carry out the "III Bridge" earlier than planned and in the same place where the "II Bridge" took place. The full operation was secured by about 400 people, including AK troops and residents of villages not far from the landing site.
Passengers from Warsaw arrived at the 'Motyl' in various ways and means of transport. “The truck sent an extraordinary shipment, parts of the V-2 bomb and my message hidden in oxygen bottles,” said Tadeusz Chciuk.
THE MIRACLES ARE...
The location of the participants was very dangerous. The situation got complicated and to execute the surgery, it had to wait a fewer days. Finally, it was miraculously realised from the "Motyl" landing site, which on July 25, 1944 was located between a fewer hundred-person Luftwaffe infantry stationed behind the stream on 1 side and behind the Ukrainian cavalry forest on the other. Tadeusz Chciuk described this minute like this: - On a meadow of silence until it sounded. Each of us lived primarily in our ears.
Before the plane took off, passengers survived dramatic moments. erstwhile they were all sitting on the plane, it turned out that the dirt of the meadow was wet and the plane was buried in it and could not choice up. 2 attempts to decision the device failed. The plane was considered destroyed.
However, thanks to the aid of local people and soldiers of the AK, the situation was contained. After the device was unloaded, deep ditches gradually moving up were dug under its wheels, and straw and boards were planted under it. Dakota successfully got airborne after reloading. Operation 'III Bridge' alternatively of 6 minutes lasted 1 h 28 minutes.
