Gestappo – commitment to Neuenmunster prison (reverse side)
In 1944 while working on a farm at Alt Erfrade German a squadron of hunting American planes came in low of the field where Konstanty was working. They were close that he could see the pilot's faces. Being young he was very impressed and waved. One of the pilots tipped his wings in recognition. A German guard noticed and for this Konstanty was taken to Neunmuster prison on a charge of sabotage.
