On this date in 1940, Polish intelligence officer, Withold Pilecki, volunteered to be captured and infiltrated into the Auschwitz camp in order to smuggle out information to the Allies.
Pilecki remained inside until his escape in 1943.
Years later he was captured and executed for running Anti-communist networks. ✝️

Witold Pilecki is my all-time hero.
