Goetel joined the Polish resistance movement Armia Krajowa ( AK , or Home Army ) in World War II , and was temporarily imprisoned in Pawiak by the SS . He has sometimes been described as the last victim of Katyn . He was blacklisted in communist Poland and driven out of the country in 1945 with an arrest warrant issued against him by the secret police , because the Germans arranged for him to participate in the original Katyn delegation on behalf of the AK , and also because in his postwar writings he demanded justice for the victims of Katyn . Goetel was proposed as a witness for the Katyn delegation by lawyer Ludwig Fischer , the German governor of Warsaw , but ultimately , the Polish delegation refused to help the Nazi propaganda efforts any further , and secretly informed the Polish government-in-exile about their findings
