It was on September 19, 1940 that Captain Witold Pilecki used faked identity documents to be arrested and sent to Auschwitz. Yes, I’m late with this. Bear did a wonderful story on him, that’s the link, and apparently a group called Sabaton must be reading Bear’s columns.

Becaaaauuse did you know there’s a song for him? There is. It’s the second video. This first is a bit more background, not so much anything Bear hasn’t told us, and them apparently, but they do have more pictures of him. Captain Pilecki, not Bear.

And the song written about Captain Pilecki. As Bear said, total badass. I know this song is listed in the comments under Bear’s column, but as it’s the anniversary of his entry into Auschwitz it seemed like the date should be remembered for him.
