Mieczyslaw Wadolny called
Granite or Avenger was a soldier of the Polish Underground State in the
years of the German occupation. After the war he was a leader of an independence
partisan unit fighting in the territory of Wadowice. When surrounded by the
Communist security forces on January 14th, 1947, he committed suicide.
The publication consists of two independent parts. An elaboration by Maciej
Korkuc The Partisan Unit of Mieczyslaw Wadolny the Avenger is based on
information elaborated by the author in the frames of his research on the
military underground in the 1940s of the twentieth century. The author has taken
advantage of i.a. the underground documentation as well as records of the
Internal Security Corps and the Province Committee of the PPR (Polish Workers
Party) in Krakow.
The other part consists of an elaboration by Apolonia Ptak which has been based
on testimonies of the soldiers of Mieczyslaw Wadolny who are still alive. The
testimonies were accumulated as a result of a private investigation which was
conducted with a great effort and consistence on the part of the author.
It is the intention of the publishers that both parts complete each other and
illustrate the reality and circumstances of the fight with the Communist
authority.
