Europe Trip 2018 - Czocha Castle, Poland

This is an interesting piece of post war history. This a report from 5 Feb 1946 by Polish Army unit protecting the border. It notes 3 cases of people disappearing/escaping: the mayor of Leśna with his wife, Leśna city office worker with his female lover, and the chief of Milicja in Leśna with his deputy. Most likely all escaped to Germany and then further West.
