Approximately
a
week
before
the
events
of
27
May
1944
,
the
applicant
and
all
the
men
in
his
platoon
had
received
a
summons
from
their
commanding
officer
.
He
had
informed
them
that
an
ad
hoc
military
court
composed
of
members
of
the
detachment
had
delivered
judgment
against
the
inhabitants
of
Mazie
Bati
allegedly
implicated
in
the
betrayal
of
Chugunov
's
men
and
that
their
platoon
was
required
to
execute
the
order
.
More
specifically
,
they
were
required
to
“
bring
the
six
Schutzmänner
from
Mazie
Bati
to
stand
trial
”
.
The
applicant
had
refused
to
lead
the
operation
as
the
villagers
had
known
him
since
childhood
and
he
feared
for
the
safety
of
his
parents
,
who
lived
in
the
neighbouring
village
.
The
commanding
officer
had
bowed
to
his
wishes
and
assigned
the
mission
to
another
Partisan
.
In
the
events
that
had
followed
,
it
was
that
other
Partisan
–
not
the
applicant
–
who
had
given
the
orders
.
