"Arrested on 8 May 1947 by the communist authorities, Pilecki was tortured, but in order to protect other operatives, he did not reveal any sensitive information"
Wow, that was a rabbit hole I was not expecting to enter today. As a German, I was taught a lot about the Nazi regime, but for some reason, the raport was so direct, so merciless, it brought a whole new level of understanding for me. Thank you, for making me aware of this absolute hero and incredible person.

I've read the report he wrote after escaping. The part about his night in the camp hospital is hard to forget.
