Scope and Content
Testimony of Lucian Teitelboim, 22 year old radio electrician from Warsaw, a soldier in the 13th Wilno Uhlan regiment. He describes the military's uncertainty as information was concealed for fear of spies, and general fear. Though casualties from bombardment were not large among the military, civilians were killed, including women and children. No actions were taken against the German airplanes. He describes the disorganization and lack of discipline in the ranks after bombardments as well as possible desertions by officers. He describes how after the routing of the regiment and its surrender the Germans fed them and let them go. Protocol No.13 is an extract from a volume of protocols /statements provided by a group of Polish-Jewish refugee writers and journalists who fled to Vilnius, Lithuania. In 1939 they formed a committee to collect evidence on the condition of the Jews in Poland under Nazi occupation.
