please change the infobox photo to Witold_Pilecki_in_b&w.jpg or Witold_Pilecki_ppor.jpg. Colorized photos are highly subjective and historically inaccurate Oeleau (talk) 11:21, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

 Done You are quite right. Lova Falk (talk) 10:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Change "In 1939, he participated in the unsuccessful defense of Poland against the German invasion" to "In 1939, he participated in the unsuccessful defense of Poland against the invasion by Germany, the Slovak Republic and the Soviet Union". The link to the article "Invasion of Poland" can stay because that article correctly lists the aggressor countries. Jeszjesz (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

On Witold Pilecki's page, there is a request for clarification and a link for this part of the paragraph:
"As part of his duties, Pilecki secretly drew up reports and sent them to Home Army headquarters with the help of inmates that had been released[clarification needed] or escapees."
The administration of Auschwitz recorded all prisoner releases from Auschwitz in their documentation. The link here has more on the reasons and includes a direct mention of Pilecki getting certain people released by the Reich:
" ...a fairly large group of Polish Army officers were released from Auschwitz in agreement with Calvary Captain Witold Pilecki. Among them was one of his closest associates - Lt. Col. Władysław Surmacki, chief of staff of the Secret Polish Army and Capt. Ferdynand Trojnicki and Aleksander Wielopolski, via whom Pilecki sent out the first report from the camp describing the conditions prevailing in KL Auschwitz.  A well-known aircraft designer Antoni Kocjan was also released, who later took part in the production of weapon for the underground and played a great role unmasking the secrets of the German V-2 missiles."
