The black insurgent who... never was

[edit]

I recommend that you read the analysis and remove all entries about his participation in the Warsaw Uprising, because there was no such participation. Nor was he in Treblinka from 1940-1944, as he stated in his February 10, 1965 declaration in London, because the camp operated from 1942-1943. Stop promoting the impostor.

Declaration of imprisonment in the camps of Treblinka, Pruszkow, Radomsko between 1940 and 1945, quoted by Dr Nicholas Boston in the Recording programme: August Browne: The British-Polish Nigerian Who Took on the Nazis (\0:35:05), where he claims to have been in Treblinka from 10 May 1940 to 10 October 1944, then, to 21 October 1944 in Pruszkow and then in Radomsko until liberation on 10 April 1945.
Let me remind you that the Treblinka camp operated between 23 July 1942 and 19 October 1943 as part of Operation Reinhardt. The Pruszkow camp was temporary and the Radomsko camp did not exist.
This declaration openly contradicts his participation in the Warsaw Uprising. After all, he could not have participated in the uprising and stay in the camp. Osetnik (talk) 10:37, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
