ANOTHER FLASH BACK FOLKS TELL ME WHO CAN REMEMBER THIS ONE Joseph Balicki, the headmaster of a Polish school in Warsaw, was arrested by the Gestapo in early 1940 and taken away to a prison camp. His school had been taken over by the Nazis after the invasion of Austria and France and he was forced to teach lessons entirely in German. Pictures of Adolf Hitler had been put up all over the school, and during a lesson Joseph had turned one of these pictures around to face the wall. Someone had reported this to the Nazis, and as a result he was taken from his house to the prison camp on a cold winters night. He was in the prison for more than a year before escaping, after knocking out a guard who was bringing food to his cell, and stealing the guards uniform. He then decides to head to his hometown of Warsaw.
