Irena Godyń, one of the last survivors of 1939 battle of Grodno https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/bf568577-2a2d-4d47-90b4-ad0528096f17 Irena Godyń (born 1925), one of the very last surviving Polish WWII veterans living in the UK, recalls her memories from 1939, when the Soviet Union invaded Poland. She was only 14, yet took part in brutal fighting in Grodno in 1939 when Soviet Union invaded Poland along with the Nazi army. About 300 Polish defenders of the city, including teenage boys, were murdered by the Soviets after the battle. The victims were both Polish students (20) and soldiers (30) as well as an unknown number of civilians. Suriviving Poles were then sentenced by the Soviet justice organs for their participation in the city's defense, reproached for "armed resistance against the Red Army".
