MURDERERS GENERAL AUGUSTA EMILA FIELDORFA "NILA"
MORDED AND TURNED TO ISRAEL
Gen. Fieldorf was detained by UB officers on November 10, 1950. Only 11 days later, the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office issued a formal, though actually illegal arrest warrant. It was signed by the prosecutor Colonel Helena Wolińska (the first name of Fajg Mindla Danielak). This pre-war communist, during the years of business the chief of the office of the General Staff of GL and AL, immediately after the war headed the General Division of the General office of MO (her then husband was Franciszek Józwiak, the first chief of the MO). She went to work at the military prosecutor's office as shortly as she finished law school at the University of Warsaw in 1949. During her 5 years at the NPW (until 1954), she was successively the head of respective departments of this institution, including the Department of Personnel and Training. She then went to the General Prosecutor's Office and later taught at the Higher School of Social Sciences at the KC PZPR for many years. After 1968, she left Poland with another husband, known economist Prof. Włodzimierz Brus. She inactive lives in Britain, which late refused to extradite her.
On 15 February 1951, Wolinska – besides illegally – extended General Fieldorf's detention. The judges of the Military territory Court in Warsaw joined her motion: Colonel Aleksander Warecki, Major Mieczysław Widaj and Major Zygmunt Wizelberg. justice Warecki (originally Warenhaupt), a pre-war barrister from Krakow, was a associate of the Field Court of the 4th LWP Infantry Division from 1944 to 1945, then led military courts in Katowice and Wrocław, and was head of WSR in Warsaw from 1948 to 1952. He retired from military service in 1956 and almost to his death (in 1986) worked as an attorney. justice Widaj was a court applicant before the war, fought in September 1939 as commander of artillery platoon, later was an AK officer, and was mobilized to LWP in 1945. From 1949 to 1952, he was vice chief, then head of WSR in Warsaw, and from 1954 to 1956 vice president of the ultimate Military Court. After leaving the army, he worked as a legal advisor. justice Wizelberg, a pre-war barrister in Stanisławów, served in the Red Army during the war, from where he was sent to LWP in 1944. After the war he was a military prosecutor, in 1949 he became a WSR justice in Warsaw, after 2 years he passed to the ultimate Military Court, where he worked until 1962, and then until 1971 he was a ultimate Court Military Chamber judge.
On 13 December 1950, at the command of the manager of the MBP Investigation Department, Colonel Józef Różański (originally Goldberg), General Fieldorf was imprisoned in a prison at Rakowiecka Street. He conducted intensive hearings from 21 December 1950 to 14 July 1951. Górski besides drew up a lying indictment in which he accused the “Nil” of giving orders to liquidate, or work out, in cooperation with Germany, PPR cells, GL and AL troops and russian partisans. This paper was approved by the Deputy manager of the Investigation Department of MVP Wiktor Leszowicz, and signed on 22 October 1951 the Deputy Prosecution of the General Public Prosecutor's Office Benjamin Wajsblech. He besides conducted the last proceeding of General Fieldorf on 25 July 1951, and a fewer months later accused him before the Provincial Court in Warsaw.
The committee's study set up in 1956 to analyse acts of violation of the regulation of law by the employees of the General Prosecutor's Office of Warsaw Wajsblech was abandoned: the unsubstantiated arrests and detention of suspects despite deficiency of legitimate reasons, the removal from the files of protocols of evidence beneficial to the accused, the artificial separation of cases which should be dealt with together, intellectual and physical humiliation and abuse of persons interviewed who claimed that Wajsblech's behaviour was sometimes worse than investigative officers. As a result, he was released from the D.A.'s office in 1957, after which he became a legal advisor. He died in 1991.
On 16 April 1952, after a fewer hours of trial, a court composed of president Maria Gurowska and jurors Michał Szymański and Bolesław Malinowski, recognized Gen. Fieldorf was guilty of acts accused of being accused of execution and sentenced to death. justice Gurowska, a pre-war communist, associate of the PPR and AL during the war, has been a justice of the Provincial Court in Warsaw since 1951. She then worked as manager of the department in the Ministry of Justice until 1970. She died in 1998 (under the changed name of Górowska) erstwhile the trial for her judicial assassination began. For the remainder of her life, she claimed that the conviction on General Fieldorf was correct.
On 20 October 1952, ultimate Court judges Igor Andreyev, Gustav Auscaler and Emil Merz upheld this sentence. justice Andreyev for 35 years (until 1985) was a technological and educational worker of the Faculty of Law at the University of Warsaw, in 1954 he became an extraordinary professor, and 10 years later ordinary. He co-wrote the Criminal Code, which was passed in 1969, in the early 1970s he chaired the Committee of Legal Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences, his textbooks were inactive valid at Polish universities. He died in 1994.Judges Merz and Auscaler are besides dead. They both left for Israel after their judicial career, where they died. The March emigrant was besides Deputy Prosecution General of the Public Prosecutor's Office (exempted, like Wajsblech, in 1957) by Paulina Kern, who accused General Fieldorf before the ultimate Court. She besides died in Israel in 1980.
The conviction on the Nile was executed on 24 February 1953. The execution was supervised by lawyer General Witold Gatner and Deputy manager of the Judicial Department of the lawyer General Alicja Graff. Both are inactive alive, as are investigators UB Kazimierz Górski. Unlike Wolinska, however, they are not covered by any investigation into the execution of General Fieldorfa.
General August Emil Fieldorf "Nil" (20 March 1895-24 February 1953) was 1 of the top figures of the Polish conspiracy: the Armed Forces, the National Army and "No".
By judgement of the courts of the Polish People's Republic based on a monstrous charge of cooperation with the occupier, General "Nil" was sentenced to death and the conviction was executed on February 24, 1953. General "Nil" was the highest rank and authority commander of the National Army and the Poakian conspiracy, which was in the hands of the post-war Ministry of Public safety and which paid for his allegiance to free Poland with his life.
In 1990 Zbigniew Brzeziński wrote (in a letter to Cezary Chlebowski): "General Fieldorf's martyrdom is simply a symbol of the destiny of the full generation."
In 1991, Mrs. Zofia Zarkadas, granddaughter of General surviving in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, provided me with a tape recorder with a evidence of Mrs. Janina Fieldorf's memories, widow of General, and her grandma (1898-1979) and agreed to print the transcript of this tape in the Historical Sheets of the Literary Institute in Paris. Maria Fieldorf-Czarska, daughter of General surviving in Poland, besides agreed to this publication. (The second daughter of General, Krystyna, died in 1979)
The tape was recorded by Mrs Janina Fieldorfowa in 1977 in Gdańsk. This recording was her initiative – she wanted to leave a paper to the Family.
The full recording of this tape was never previously made available or published. respective tiny passages, mainly relating to the pre-war period, were utilized in distributed articles by Mrs Maria Fieldorf (General's Brethren) and Mr Leszek Zachuta, which are quoted here abundantly in footnotes, as bibliography [. The full memory of Mrs Fieldorfova, and in peculiar her communicative of the tragic post-war period, is, in my opinion, an crucial paper of the fresh past of Poland. In the dimensions of the human valley it is simply a paper of human tragedy, as well as the love of 2 people.
A fewer method remarks. The following transcript is simply a origin text, i.e. literal text, with a fewer insignificant grammatical corrections and a fewer repetitions missing. For editorial reasons, respective anecdotal passages concerning General's childhood and the pre-war period have been abandoned. These departures are marked in the text by the symbol [...]. In respective places, in square brackets [ ], the apparent words are added and, for full information, the names of any of the mentioned persons. Closed periods in the life of Gen. Fieldorfa are separated in the text by the sign * * *
The text of Mrs Fieldorf’s text below is identical to the text published in Historical Zeszytki 101, p. 91-114. Literary Institute, Paris 1992. Links to the overwhelming majority also; respective of them were supplemented with information obtained by me after printing this text in the Historical Books.
There are respective inevitable inaccuracies in Mrs Fieldorf's text, mostly in dates; I tried to correct them with references to the text, giving the sources. In addition, I have extended in references any of the issues raised by Mrs Fieldorfowa, again giving sources. The footnotes contain quite a few information about Gen. Fieldorf, any bring quotes from Janina Fieldorf's memoir records, not mentioned in her communicative here written from tape tape. any footnotes have been greatly expanded based on papers from the archive of Mrs Maria Fieldorf-Czarska and her comments. Footnotes to this text are worth careful reading.
Another bibliographic remark. In 1993 the book Maria Fieldorf and Leszek Zachuta entitled General “Nil” August Emil Fieldorf [26] was published. This book is seldom quoted in footnotes, which were mostly written earlier. It contains many details but small information fundamentally fresh to known or published by these authors somewhat earlier in distributed publications. Practically all references in footnotes (below) to distributed publications of these authors besides mention to their book]26]. The three-year period between the General's return from exile in the USSR and his arrest in this book is treated reasonably briefly.
Finally, I would like to express my thanks to Mrs Zufa Zarkadas for sharing the tape and explaining to me. I am profoundly grateful to the General's daughter, Maria Fieldorf-Czarska for her many explanations, comments and for providing me with her archive concerning her father. For any additional information and comments, I thank Mrs Maria Fieldorf and Mr Leszek Zachuta. Henryk Kozłowski- "Kmitie" from Dunrobin, Ontario, thank you warmly for your inspiration, much information and aid in the first editing of footnotes in 1992.
