The more he received those leaflets, the more paranoid he became and his loyalty to his commander and country, he didn't surrender to the allies.

      +Tom19142 The name is from a Polish comedy movie called "Jak rozpętałem drugą Wojnę Światową" (aka How I Started World War 2). The main character's name "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" is used as a joke in the movie when the Germans ask him to tell them his name to record it on a list. It is a joke in Poland (where I'm from)

      I doubt it was that big of a deal.. I mean, I have been stolen from several times and each time they try to steal things they can sell for money... IF somebody kicked my door in and rifled through my refrigerator and took food and drink... and maybe even clothes I would be MUCH MUCH less perturbed by it since they must have actually needed it.
      Wouldn't be happy about it but I could forgive them much easier.
