26.1.1943 germans go to burn another polish village/Zboreczno/ - they send 600 german policemans with german settlers/unknown number/
Poles new about that,and about 400 partisants waited for them.Germans were repelled,including another unit/unknown number/
Germans lost 103 policeman KIA,and unknown numbers of settlers.One polish soldier died.
One german officer was shot using polish AT rifle - and germans do not knew what kind of weapon it was.They though,that it is british weapon.
German commander,major Schwieger, reported that he fought 700-800 wery good enemies.

Why german crimes,you say? few injures partisants go to hospital in Róża village,one woman betrayed,and germans murdered them all.
