He then convinced the German 'Komendant' to allow him to leave the forced march towards Germany by (falsely) claiming that he had been born in a western part of Poland at a time whenthis could have claimed him as being German. Zygmunt Pracki then crossed over into Soviet occupied Eastern Poland. He ended up as a POW in USSR and was evacuated to Iran with Anders Army.
