Włodzimierz Arlamowski

Wlodzimierz Arlamowski (nom de guerre Rys), (25 May 1923, Lwow - 30 October 1945, Izbicko), was an uhlan of the Home Army unit from Lwow. After 1945, together with Polish inhabitants of his hometown, he was deported to territories of Germany, which became part of Poland.

In October 1945, the 22-year old Arlamowski decided to escape Communist-controlled Poland. He managed to get into a Soviet Yak-9 plane, which was standing on the tarmac at a military airport in Izbicko (Opole Voivodeship). Reportedly, he wanted to get to Austria, but a Soviet sentry guarding the airport saw him and shot him in the head. Arlamowski died on October 30, 1945, and was buried on the “Mater Dolorosa” cemetery in Bytom.
