Cursed soldiers (or unbreakable soldiers) are participants of the Polish post-war underground of independence. From 1944 to 1963, they put up armed opposition to the Sovietization of Poland and the communist government imposed. For years, they were called “banditers” by the authorities and erased from the past cards. Currently, their memory is restored as a symbol of the fight for free Poland.
The large Owl
Starry gathering of the Polish Dzierżoniów II and ORP paper Club
Jerzy Kaszyński - 14.06.2026.
Many myths grew around the Polish underground operating after the alleged liberation. Many half-truths were spoken of, many times falsified. Communist propaganda called members of the underground of independency fascists, traitors, reactionaries, salesmen, at best people lost.
Today's rally was not only an expression of the memory of thousands of victims of Communist terror, but besides a reminder that the concern for historical fact and the preservation of memory of tragic events after planet War II remains our common responsibility.
Hello and glory to the victims. It is our work to remember, to tell the fact and to defy any effort to falsify history.
On Sunday, June 14, 2026, the Citizen's Patriotic Movement and the Polish paper Club Lt. Lukasz Ciepliński invited to march in the Sowie Mountains to mention the Non-violent Soldiers, especially Jerzy Kaszyński, murdered in the Dzierżoniów prison in 1947. We left as always from 4 places – Lasocina, Jugowska Pass, Falcon Pass and Walimska Pass. At the top of the large Owl was a conventional bonfire, sausage roasting and mineral water. This was a perfect complement to the main goal of our march – that is to say, the memory of the Unbreakable Soldiers.
During the remainder after the march there was time to mention not only Jerzy Kaszyński but besides another well-known Non-violents – Gen. August Fieldorf "Nil", Col. Łukasz Ciepliński, Col. Witold Pilecki and besides Danuta Kodkówna "Inka". The president of ORP Ireneusz Wagnerowski told about them. He thanked me for taking part in the rally.
A skillful combination of tourism, playing with patriotic themes is simply a good thought to preserve information about the hard past of our country in memory of subsequent generations of Poles. The Star March should be considered a successful party.
Long live free and sovereign Poland!
