About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Polish Army AK in Kraków opens in a Warsaw prison in February nineteen fifty-three, as General August Emil Fieldorf, codename Nil, is led out by the same communist government he had risked his life against. It traces his wartime command of Kedyw, the Home Army's sabotage directorate, through his arrest by Soviet secret police, his return to Poland, and the charge his interrogators eventually invented against him. You'll see the museum's reconstructed detention cell and the eight thousand donated objects that keep his story on display.
