{{Did you know nominations/Witold Pilecki}}

A new feature film about Pilecki's life, "Raport Pileckiego"/"The Pilecki Report," was released in 2023. Directed and written by Krzysztof Lukaszewicz, with Przemyslaw Wyszynski in the role of Pilecki, the film focuses on Pilecki's actions against the Nazi occupation of Poland and elucidates his arrest in 1940, his imprisonment at Auschwitz and his escape in 1943, his participation in the Warsaw uprising and subsequent arrest, his eventual arrest and torture by Polish communist authorities in Mokotow Prison, in Warsaw, and his execution at Mokotow Prison. ^[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matildathehun (talk • contribs) 15:32, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

please change the infobox photo to Witold_Pilecki_in_b&w.jpg or Witold_Pilecki_ppor.jpg. Colorized photos are highly subjective and historically inaccurate Oeleau (talk) 11:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done You are quite right. Lova Falk (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change "In 1939, he participated in the unsuccessful defense of Poland against the German invasion" to "In 1939, he participated in the unsuccessful defense of Poland against the invasion by Germany, the Slovak Republic and the Soviet Union". The link to the article "Invasion of Poland" can stay because that article correctly lists the aggressor countries. Jeszjesz (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
