Gestapo Soldier

[Adah Orhenkowski]

Iam a journalist/writer and am looking for detailed information regarding my father, Marian Dobrowolski's service in the AK in Poland during WW2. His birthday was January 25, 1920 (born in Murmansk to Jan Dobrowolski and Zenaida (Subotin-Subotina) I am hoping to write a book about my parents and would like to expand on the anecdotes and memories my father shared with me.

#1 I would like to dig deeper into the incident of his imprisonment by the Gestapo in Bialystock prison...and hoping you could tell me where I might be able to find records of those prisoners? (I excerpt it below.)

#2 There is also another bit to my father's story which I would love to expand on--he was not the only officer present--who were these other two officers who were sent by Bor to negotiate with the Germans?:

A ceasefire was declared and on October 2, the German Whermacht [regular army]

accepted a formal surrender from the leaders of the Polish Home Army.

"I was chosen to lead two officers, emissaries of General 'Bor', through the rubble and

barricades to a meeting with the Germans to discuss the terms of surrender. I waited 4 or

5 hours until the talks were done, and then I lead them back to headquarters again.

Thanks for your questions. But I am not sure if I can answer them I will have to do some research. Actually I concentrate on the history of the Polish Labor Service which starts May 1945, but since the personal history of Labor Service members goes back to WW II I have some sources that i will list in order for you to go on. Please stay tuned and I will look up all the sources where you could find some infos.

I am sorry that it took a while to find some references that may help you in your research. I was able to get to a certain point, but privacy acts did not allow me to go further. You as a family member can do that.

1. There are no records of your father in Germany. Please keep in mind that the Nazis did not treat Polish soldiers according to the Geneva convention. They stated that Poland does not exist and therefore there is no army. I research archives in Lbeck regarding your father but there is nothing. On the other side, Lbeck was the British zone, and here you may find information:

2. Your father went to Italy as you stated. He probably wanted to join the 2nd Polish Corps (General Anders) which was deactivated after the conference in Postdam and most officers were brought to England. The above website may have info on that. In addition the UNNRA records have files regarding the immigration of Poles. This is the link:

The Schutzstaffel Soldier (Soldat) of the 1980s can be found in occupied New Paris, with a sizeable chunk of the Wehrmacht having pulled out of the United States in the wake of the Second American Revolution. It is the enemy from Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

In the wake of the liberation of the United States and the formation of the Global Resistance, a large section of the Wehrmacht has presumably been pulled back to defend the home territories of the Greater German Reich in Europe, including occupied countries such as France from attacks by the galvanized resistance. As a result, a large militarized presence can be found in many of the cities in Europe occupied by the Nazis.

The Nazi soldiers of the 1980s generally use much of the same equipment as their 1960s counterparts (likely due to budgetary and logistical considerations), but with some seemingly aesthetic modifications. Instead of wearing grey army fatigues and body armor, these Nazi soldiers wear leather vests and uniforms with modernized ballistic face masks. The equipment used by elites in their ranks, such as shotgunners, soldiers and marksmen, appear to have changed little since the 1960s. The new soldier types are the Jager (german for Hunter), combat medics, neosoldat, riot control unit Gestaposoldat, diesel-flamethrower soldat and the Hammersoldat.

Enemies in Youngblood have a unique enemy status system that has not been seen in past titles. Enemies have levels which determine their health, how much damage they inflict against the player, and their resistance to damage dealt by the player. Enemies now possess

All enemies in Youngblood have levels to measure their strength, which tends to increase with players as they level up. However, there are some instances in which enemies have affixed levels, in which case, players may downed even with one shot. It is advised to watch out for enemy levels; if the level is shown with skull, you are much less likely to beat the enemy.

Rank 1 enemies are the first enemies encountered in the game. The only static Tier 1 enemy (level does not change) is the Neosoldat that you fight on board of Der Nachtfalter. Eventually, once the player has completed a few quests, Tier 2s will start to appear. By the time the player starts tacking the Brothers, the enemies will most likely be Tiers 3/4. Finally, during the Siegturm mission, it is common for maxed out (Tier 5) soldiers to be found.

Some enemies have barriers added to their red HP bar. There are two variants of the barrier. The first is the soft barrier, which is shown as a narrow white rectangle. Armor-piercing weapons are less effective against this type of opponent. It is recommended to use weapons such as the Maschinenpistole or Blitzgewehr, as they have a higher rate of fire. The second is the hard barrier, which is shown as a broad white square with a transparent center. This barrier is vulnerable to armor-piercing weapons and relatively high DPS ones, so it is recommended to use weapons such as the Pistole, Sturmgewehr or Laserkraftwerk.

The collection consists of artifacts: armbands, a badge, a leaflet, military insignia, a pennant, a ring, and scrip relating to the experiences of Harold Goldberg as a soldier in the United States Army in Europe during World War II.

Theresienstadt ghetto scrip, value 1 krone, brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II. Scrip of this type was issued in Theresienstadt ghetto-labor camp in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in German annexed Czechoslovakia. All currency was confiscated from internees upon entry. The scrip, dated January 1943, but first distributed in May, was for use only in the camp. There was little to exchange it for, other than library book rental. The notes created an illusion of a normal, functioning community. But living conditions were terrible, with death due to starvation, disease, or deportation constant threats. Theresienstadt (Terezin) camp existed for 3.5 years, from November 24, 1941, to May 9, 1945, when it was liberated by Soviet troops.

Small Nazi Party red cloth banner with an image of Adolf Hitler brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II. The banner was made for the September 1934, 6th annual Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg, Germany.

Deutsche Wehrmacht (German Army) yellow armband brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II. This armband was worn by German civilians and foreign workers employed by the German Armed Forces.

German military issue, poison gas warning pennant brought back from Germany by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in the European Theater in 1945. The pennants were attached to a thin, iron rod and staked into the ground. They were used to mark off areas contaminated with dangerous gas, and later repurposed to warn against hidden landmines. The pennants were part of a set that included 20 flags, each attached to a 60-cm-long iron rod, painted with red anti-rust paint, a roll of yellow tape, and a carrying pouch. Harold B. Goldberg lived in New York City, where he attended City College and worked as mail carrier prior to being drafted into the U.S. Army as a private, in October 1942. Harold served in Europe until the end of the war and then returned to New York, where he married his wife Rita in 1952.

German Army uniform gray felt shoulder board with yellow gold piping brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946. This is the type of epaulet worn by enlisted men, most likely in cavalary and reconnaissance units, in the Wehrmacht.

Luftwaffe officer's insignia patch with an embroidered silver bullion thread flying eagle and swastika brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II. It would be placed on the front crown of an officer's hat or above the right breast pocket of a jacket.

German Army officer's visor cap badge with a silver bullion wreath and red centered cockade brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II.

German Army dark green wool badge with a spray of oak leaves brought back from the war by Harold Goldberg, an American soldier who served in Europe, circa 1945-1946, during and after World War II. The patch was worn on the upper right sleeve by Jager (light infantry) Regiments, Panzer-Grenadier Division, known as the Brandenburg Division. For most of the war, this was an elite commando unit specializing in saboteur campaigns. In July 1944, several Division members were implicated in the failed assassination plot on Hitler. It was redesignated as a conventional unit and sent into action on the Eastern Front in December 1944, where the German Army was collapsing under the Soviet advance.

Contains nine photographs brought home from World War II by Harold Goldberg following his service with the US Army. Most of the photographs depict an unidentified concentration camp, including images of a gas chamber and crematoria. One postcard photograph depicts Adolf Hitler and Paul von Hindenburg at a ceremony at the Tannenberg memorial, 1934.
