Soldier Survived a Firing Squad and Escaped Through a Sewage Pipe | Military History Talks

Poland, 1942. Private Henryk Sucharski was lined up before a German firing squad outside Warsaw after being caught distributing resistance leaflets. The volley was fired. He fell. The Germans moved on. One bullet had grazed his skull, knocking him unconscious. He lay still in the pile of bodies until dark. He crawled into a sewage pipe beneath the street, moved three hundred metres underground, and emerged outside the German cordon. He reached a resistance safe house, was hidden by a family for six weeks, and rejoined his cell. He participated in the Warsaw Uprising in 1944. He survived the entire war. He said he had simply been too stubborn to die when ordered.
