this is what happened in last few weeks.

On 01.09.1939 polish submarine "Orzel" left harbour in Gdynia (Gotenahaven). In first two days of war, sub have been patroling her sector under the orders of defensive plan "Worek". On third day of war CO kmdr. Kloczkowski have dicided do dive and lay on the bottom. From this time history of "Orzel" is kind of revelation. What we know fo sure that "Orzel" on 14th.09.1939 sailed into the harbor in Tallin with sick commander, where Estonian authorities have tried to stop her. One story says that CO of submarnie was trader and simulated his sicknes, another says that he was really sick. After one day submarine escaped from Tallin and broke true the blokade to UK. Then after few months was reported missing in North Sea. What these documents show to me is that kmdr.Kloczkowski have been treated as a trader. War Court didnt want to find out the truth, it looks like they out the charges before and commander had his penalty already. It looks also that they based on the testimonys of officers of Orzel and commander of submarine Wilk who were already dead. There could be fact that all the testimonys are fake, or made up.
