TO ALL THOSE who in a deceitful, fraudulent manner by the stooges of the area-Sanation clique were led into the forest, who in their ignorance succumbed [...] to the whispers and rumors of Nazi agents and allowed themselves [...] to be detached from the nation! If the heart of a Pole still beats in you, think again! [...] Those who have gone into the woods and remain there - they have no future! You have placed yourselves outside the bracket of the entire Polish society! [...] Whoever today does not want to work for the good of the Country is an outcast and a traitor to the Polish Nation. With all those who have fled to the forest, the Government will deal as with traitors to the Nation [...]. The road from the forest to home still stands open before you[i] today. Make your choice, but beware that it is not too late. Rzeszow [1946?]. [Podp.] Voivode of Rzeszów. Share Printing House - Rzeszow.
Single-sided print on ark. 21.3x15 cm. Leaflet of the authorities of the People's Republic of Poland addressed to the soldiers of the anti-communist underground active in the first period after the end of the war in the Polish-Soviet borderland. The partisans, hiding in the forests, were faced with an alternative: to reveal themselves and abandon the fight or "die a disgraceful death, a shameful death of traitors to the Fatherland." Taped tears of the sheet, rubbing of its surface. Rare!
