details of death
After passing his high school leaving exams — matura — in 1916, during World War I 1914‐1919, drafted into the Army of the German Empire. Took part in fighting on the Western Front.
After the abdication on 09.11.1918 of the German Emperor William II Hohenzollern; after the signing on 11.11.1918 by the Allies and the Germans, in a staff wagon in Compiègne, at the headquarters of French Marshal Ferdinand Foch, of the armistice and ceasefire — which de facto meant the end of World War I; and after the handover on 11.11.1918 by the Regency Council — operating in the so‐called Germ. Königreich Polen (Eng. Kingdom of Poland) occupied by the Central Powers (Germany and Austria–Hungary) — of the supreme authority over the army to Brigadier Joseph Piłsudski and appointing him Commander‐in‐Chief of the Polish Army, which de facto meant the rebirth of the Polish state, covering however only the Germ. Königreich Polen, i.e. the Polish territory under Russian rule until 1915, and did not include the lands of the Prussian partition; Greater Poland — as the Prussian Germ. Provinz Posen (Eng. Province of Poznań) — still formally remained part of the German state. Therefore, on 27.12.1918, the Greater Poland Uprising broke out in Poznań. Took part in it. According to sources, „was seen in Mogilno, Strzelno, Inowrocław, Gniezno and Zdziechowa”. Prob. thus took part in the liberation of Gniezno on 29.12.1918, and then in the clashes near the village of Zdziechowa, c. 7 km north of Gniezno, where the Germans, after withdrawing from this town, were strengthening their positions. The Poles surprised the Germans and managed to force them to retreat on 31.12.1918, capturing, among other things, 500 light rifles, 12 heavy and a dozen light machine guns. Next may have taken part in the so‐called March to Kuyavia, under the command of 2nd Lt. Paul Cyms, which began on 01.01.1919 with the entry into Mogilno, then the capture of Strzelno and finally on 06.01.1918 of Inowrocław. On 16.02.1919, the uprising ended with the armistice in Trier, forced by the victorious Allies — the Entente countries.
In 1919, after being discharged from the army, joined the Theological Seminary in Poznań.
In 1927 and 1929 appointed reserve chaplain of the Polish Army (first time by order of the President of the Republic of Poland of 01.09.1927, with seniority from 01.01.1927 and 326th place among the Roman Catholic military clergy; each time for a statutory 2‐year period).
Murdered during a robbery (70pln were taken) with a single shot the neck, on Ostrów Tumski in Poznań, on his way to Poznań cathedral.
Two murderers were caught, sentenced to deatch and executed in Warsaw.

Polish‐Russian war of 1919‐1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik‐like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.

Greater Poland Uprising: Military insurrection of Poles of former German Germ. Posen Provinz (Eng. Poznań province) launched against German Reich in 1918‐1919 — after the abdication on 09.11.1918 of the German Emperor William II Hohenzollern; after the armistice between the Allies and Germany signed on 11.1.1918 in the HQ wagon in Compiègne, the headquarters of Marshal of France Ferdinand Foch — which de facto meant the end of World War I — against the German Weimar Republic, established on the ruins of the German Empire, aiming to incorporate lands captured by Prussia during partitions of Poland in XVIII century into Poland. The Republic of Poland, reborn on 11.11.1918, initially formally included only the so‐called Germ. Königreich Polen (Eng. Kingdom of Poland), i.e. the territory that had been under Russian rule until 1915 and then under the control of Central States (Germany and Austria–Hungary), but did not include the Prussian partition. Started on 27.12.1918 in Poznań and ended on 16.02.1919 with the armistice pact in Trier, forced by the victorious Entente states, which included provisions ordering Germany to cease operations against Poland and, importantly, recognizing the Polish insurgent Greater Poland Army as an allied armed force of the Entente. De facto it turned out to be a Polish victory, confirmed in the main peace treaty after World War I, the Treaty of Versailles of 28.06.1919, which came into force on 10.01.1920 and in which most of the lands of the Prussian partition were recognized as Polish. Many Polish priests took part in the Uprising, both as chaplains of the insurgents units and members and leaders of the Polish agencies and councils set up in the areas covered by the Uprising. In 1939 after German invasion of Poland and start of the World War II those priests were particularly persecuted by the Germans and majority of them were murdered.
