Vytole Pilecki's Secret Mission

Vytole Pilecki, a Polish army second lieutenant, undertook a dangerous secret mission in Nazi-occupied Poland by deliberately allowing himself to be arrested. His goal was to gather intelligence on the concentration camp at Auschwitz, a perilous endeavor that could cost him his life. As the Germans orchestrated mass round-ups of civilians in Warsaw, Pilecki blended into the crowd, concealing his true intentions. His act of bravery was motivated by a fierce sense of patriotism and the desire to serve his country during its darkest hour.
