6. World War II History: With the advent of war in Sep-Amber
1939, Subject's father urged him and his mother to join the father
in Lemberg, but conditione were too disrupted to permit the mother
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 Posnan and Warsaw were clogged with reisageee
and military units and Subject narrowly escaped death several times
from Nazi strafing attacks.
a. Finding his journey impossible, he joined up with a
Polish engineer outfit be met on the road and fought with them
in battles on the banks of the Vistula near Modlin. The Polish
units were cut to pieces and captured by the Germans. Subject
was put to work by the Germans collecting equipment from the
battlefield and =flared to conceal a rifle and make his escape.
Subject joined forces with a Polish lieutenant whom he helpee
to escape and the two of them obtained passes from the Oermars
in Kutno under false names and attempted to make their way tc
Poznan where Subject had friends. German SS atrocities they
witnessed on the road, however, so enraged them that thsc
retrieved the rifle Subject had hidden and appointed themselvev
as snipers to seek revenge. They killed five or six SS ton
in the next few days, but ceased this activity when the German
executed twenty hostages in reprisal.
b. After hiding out in several places, Subject secured
a job on an estate near Ujsad, but on 15 November 193? Subject
was arrested by the Germane for the alleged theft of a bicycle.
Re was lined up with other prisoners on several occasions ant
narrowly escaped being shot as a hostage until his mother
secured his release in April 1940.

Germane and assigned to office work on a large farm enterprise
near Komorowo by the Carman State firm OSTLAND Gmbh. For the
rest of the war Subject worked as a bookkeeper in German
agricultural enterprises near Wolsztyn, supporting his mother
with his earnings.

MALINOWSKI, a young widow with a six-months old child whom he had
met at the end of the war. A child, Danuta, was born of this marr1,4ge
in late 1946. All went well until 1950 when Anna confessed to Subjct
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 RUREIA,
father of her first child had assumed the name MALINOASKI upon
escaping together from forced labor and upon being imprisoned aea5a

during this second imprisonment, but Anna was released at the end
of the war. Anna had feared being forced to return to Russia by
the Russian repatriation commissions roaming Poland at the time and
had concealed her true background from Subject at the time of their
marriage.
a. When his former wife confessed this to him, Subject
bec*meworried *bout his career with the UB and. told the story
to Major MAR, a Soviet advisor with whom he was frien64,
who was able to fix the situation. However, about 1954 Sobjec.
noticed that his former wife eas acting strangely and seamed
to be suffering delusions of persecution, believing that euhet
and his mother were intent on harming her. Subject states he
believes Boviet pressure on his wife to Check on his loyalty,
perhaps coupled with threats based on her Russian nationality,
vere responsible for her mental decline. Anna was never
really well-balanced and calm from this time onward and
Subject was forced to move his mother out of the household.
The situation worseaed until Saject himself moved out and
joined his mother. He obtained a court divorce in late
1957 which was granted on the dual grounds that his wifu was
a schizophrenic and had concealed material facts concerning
her person at the time of the narriage. So far as Subject
knows Anna and the two Children eontinaet to reside In Warsaw
at Solariego 5 Wit.
b. On 7 March 1961 Subject married Irmgard UMW, a
German citizen eh= he met in East Berlin in 2958. He was
enable to get a vlea to bring her to Warsaw to arrange the
marriage at an earlier data because of the opposition of hiu
superiors because of her reletives in West Germany. Upon
deciding to leave Poland and defect to the West, Subject
asked Irmgard to accompany him and maim him as soon as
could be legally arranged. Subject does not have a copy of
his Polish divorce decree.

9. Political and Party History:
a. Subject first came into contact with Marxist theory
at the Gymnasium in Wolestyn, where a seminar in "philoloceP
run by a Latin professor was in reality a carer for socialislac
indoctrination. Despite his father's own labor sympathies sne
leftist (in terms of Pilsudaki's ultra-conservative regime)
leanings, he advised Subject not to attend these seminars.
Youthful poverty and the complete breakdown of the Polieh Sate
in World War II motivated Subject toward sympathy with socUlism.
The rapid promotions he received in the postwar cci*unist-rn and the urging r of his superiors combined to distsuade hi
from returning to his normal studies, and instead he was seet
to a Communist Party school in Warsaw where he completed Ft
course and emerged as a full-fledged Party member, which we
essential to his further progress in the US.
