6. World War II History: 'With the advent of war in September
1939, Subject's father urged him and his mother to join the futher
in Lemberg, but conditions were too disrupted to permit the mpther
to make the trip. Subject, then seventeen years old, attempted to
join his father, traveling by bicycle the distance of 1500 kilometers,
but the roads between Poznan and Warsaw were clogged with refugees
and military units and Subject narrowly escaped death several times
from Nazi strafing attacks.
a. Finding his journey impossible, he joined up will a
Polish engineer outfit he net on the road and fought with them
in battles on the banks of the Vistula near Modlin. The Polis-!,
unite were cut to pieces and captured by the Germans. Subject
was put to work by the Germams collecting equipment from the
battlefield and managed to conceal a rifle and make his escape.
Subject joined forces with a Polish lieutenant wham he helped
to escape and the two of them obtained passes from the Germans
in Kutno under false names and attempted to make their way to
Poznan where Subject had friends. German SS atrocities they
witnessed on the road, however, so enraged them that they
retrieved the rifle Subjeet had hidden and appointed themselyef
as snipers to seek revenge. They killed five or six SS men
in the next few days, but ceased this activity when the Uermans
executed twenty hostages in reprisal.
b. After hiding out in several places, Subject secured
a job on an estate near Ujzad, but on 15 November 1939 Subject
was arrested by the Germans for the alleged theft of a bicycle.
Re was lined up with other prieoners on several occasions and
narrowly escaped being shot as a hoetage until his mother
secured his release in April 1940.
c. In May 1940 he was called to labor aervice by the
Germans and assigned to offiee work on a large farm enterprise
near Komorowo by the Cerman State firm OSTLAND GMbh. For the
rest of the war Subject worked as a bookkeeper in German
agricultural enterprises near Welsztyn� supporting his mother
with his earnings.
7. Marital History: In March 1946 Subject married Anna
MALINOWSKI, a young widow with a six-monthe old child whom he had
met at the end of the war. A child, Danuta, was born of this marrift,e
in late 1946. All went well until 1950 when Anna confessed to Subject
she had not told him the true story of her identity. She was not a
Pole but a Ukrainian from Stalin� who had been transported in 1942
by' the Germans to East Prussia for forced labor. She and the Russian
father of her first child had assumed the name MALINOWSK1 npoo
escaping together from forced labor and upon being imprisoned again
had not dared reveal their identity as 'Russians. MALINOWSKI died

during this seconc. imprisonment, but Anna vas released at the end
of the war. Anna had feared being forced to return to Russia by
the Russian repatriation commissions roaming POW-A st the time &AC
had concealed her true beckground from Subject at the time of theil
marriage.
a. When his former wife confessed this to him, Suljeet
became worried about his career with the us and told the story
to Major SKLAR, a Soviet advisor with whom he vas frierialy,
vho Vell able to fix the situation. However, about 3054 Subjec,
noticed that his former wife vas acting strangely and seemed
to be suffering delusious of perseeution4 believing that :t
and his mother were intent on harmiug her. Subject atates hu
believes Soviet pressure on his wife to check on his loyalty,
perhaps coupled with threats based on her MUM014114 natioaalitY
'were responsible for her mental decline. Anna vas never
really mell-balanced and calm from this time onward and
Subject was forced to move his mother out of the houaehold.
The situation vorsened until Subject himself moved out aad
joined his mother. He obtained a court divorce in late
1957 which was granted on the dual grounds that his wife was
a sChimphrenic and had concealed material facts coneern,Ln4
her perion at the time of the marriage. So far as Subject
knows Anna and the two children continued to reside in Wares&
at Solariego 5 Vii.
b. Oa 7 *rich 1961 Subject married 'mood KAMM It
German citizen ehom he met in Best Berlin in 2958. Re vna
unable to got a visa to bring her to Warsaw to =sego the
marriage at an earlier date because of the opposition of his
superiors because of her relatives in West Gemini. WOL
daCiding to leave Poland and defect to the West, Subject
asked Xrmgard to accoaamnY him and marry him as goon as this
could be legally arranged. Subject does not have a copy of
his Polish divorce decree.

called Mil) as a lieutenant colonel and given the post of (hiet,
Section 6, Department I. He held this post until his defection ih
January 1961.
9. Political and Party History:
a. Subject first came into contact with Aarxist theory
at the Gymnasium in Welssty*, where a seminar in "philology"
run by a Latin professor was in reality a cover for socialisTic
indoctrination. Despite his father's own labor sympathies sod
leftist (in terms of Pilsudski's ultra-conservative regrinte)
leanings, he advised Subject not to attend these seminArs.
Youthful poverty and the complete breakdown of the Polsh Stcte
in World 4ar II motivated Subject toward sympathy with BOcia:lam.
The rapid promotions he received in the postwar communist-rut:
0 and the urgings of his superiors combined to dissuade him
from returning to his normal studies, and instead he was sent
to a Communist Party school in Warsaw where he completed a
course and emerged as a full-fledged Party member, which was
essential to his further prouress in the 112.
