It is worth recalling events from Bolesławiec’s recent post-war history concerning the activities of the “Werwolf” (Werewolf) organisation in the area during the first months after the war. Bolesławiec’s location on an important transport route, together with the dense forests and forest villages surrounding it, created favourable conditions for acts of sabotage. In 1945–46, one of the larger Werwolf organisations operated here. The mysterious arson attacks and acts of sabotage in Zebrzydowa, Podgrodzie, Czerna and Zabłocie were attributed to this organisation. The organisation engaged in espionage and smuggled Germans to the West. It provided shelter to SS men. The organisation’s area of operations covered significant parts of Lower Silesia, from Wrocław to Zgorzelec. An intensive investigation led to the discovery of the main Werwolf network in Bolesławiec, headed by engineer Arthur Kuehne. The trial of the entire network took place before the court in Wrocław from 29 July to 2 August 1946. In a ruling by the military court in Wrocław, the main organisers of the Werwolf network in Bolesławiec—Arthur Kuehne, Herbert Munich, Paul Fiebig, Ernst Bachman, Gunter Schiebler, Lisbeth Fiebig, Elfride Silberbach and Hein Heier—were sentenced to death. Other sentences ranged from 2 to 15 years in prison.
