A few days after the pacification of Michniów, scouts from the Gray Ranks erected two boards with German inscriptions at the Warsaw-Kraków railway tracks. The first table had the inscription "Deutsche Katyń" (English: "German Katyn"), and the second: "Waffen SS haben hier in Dorf Michniów 200 Männen, Frauen und Kinder ermordet uns dises Dorf verbant" (in English: "Waffen SS murdered in Michniów village 200 men, women and children, and the village burnt down").
