Klimecki was arrested and then released numerous times during the occupation of Kraków , before his death at the hands of the Nazis . The first time , he was taken hostage by the Wehrmacht on September 6 , 1939 , when he approached them with the call to stop shooting because the city was defenseless : " Feuer einstellen ! " The second time , if only briefly – on September 11 , 1939 for interrogation ; and then once more on September 20 , 1939 ( with ten-day detention ) , when he was dismissed as President . On November 6 , 1939 , Klimecki was arrested again , during the notorious '' Sonderaktion Krakau '' , and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp . He returned to Kraków upon his release , and was apprehended for the last time of his life on November 29 , 1942 . A few days later , on December 11 , 1942 , he was executed , along with some 40 hostages at a remote killing ground in the Niepołomice Forest
