Witold's Report

Witold's Report, also known as Pilecki's Report, is an official report of over 100 pages (in its final version) written in 1943 by Witold Pilecki, a soldier in the Polish Army and a secret agent of the Polish resistance, who entered and escaped from the Auschwitz concentration camp. It was the first comprehensive record of a Holocaust death camp to be obtained by the Allies.
The report includes details about the gas chambers, "selektion", and the sterilization experiments. It states that there were three crematoria in Birkenau able to burn 8000 people daily. Raul Hilberg wrote that the Office of Strategic Services in London, which received the report, filed it away with a note that there was no indication as to its reliability.
Pilecki's Report preceded and supplemented the "Polish Major's Report" by Jerzy Tabeau (who escaped with Roman Cieliczko on 19 November 1943 and compiled the report between December 1943 and January 1944),〔London has been informed--: reports by Auschwitz escapees - Page 94 Henryk Świebocki - 1997 "The chronological order begins with the "Polish Major's Report," Jerzy Tabeau's text from his Polish manuscript, which the ... still in the camp, the memoirs of August Kowalczyk, or the accounts of the late Stanisiaw Chybinski and Witold Pilecki."〕 which chronologically comprises the first of the three eyewitness reports that warned about the mass murder and other atrocities that were taking place inside the camp, known jointly as the Auschwitz Protocols, but was presented in the Protocols as the 19-page "No 2. Transport (The Polish Major's Report)". The other Auschwitz Protocol reports are the "Vrba–Wetzler report" by Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler (Slovakian prisoners who escaped on 10 April 1944 and compiled the report between 25 and 27 April 1944), presented in the Protocols as the 30-40-page "No 1. The Extermination Camps of Auschwitz (Oswiecim) and Birkenau in Upper Silesia", and the "Rosin-Mordowicz report" by Arnost Rosin and Czesław Mordowicz (Slovakian prisoners who escaped on 27 May 1944). The text of the Protocols is held by the War Refugee Board at the F.D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York.〔 Appendix I, footnote 3.〕
==Background of Witold's Report==

On November 9, 1939, after the Polish Army was defeated in the Invasion of Poland, the cavalryman Witold Pilecki together with his commander Major Jan Włodarkiewicz founded the Secret Polish Army (''Tajna Armia Polska'', TAP), one of the first underground organizations in Poland.〔Kazimierz Malinowski, Tajna Armia Polska. Znak. Konfederacja Zbrojna. Zarys genezy, organizacji i działalności, Warszawa 1986. ISBN 83-211-0791-5〕 In 1940, Pilecki presented to his superiors a plan to enter Germany's Auschwitz concentration camp, gather intelligence on the camp from the inside, and organize inmate resistance.〔Jacek Pawłowicz, ''Rotmistrz Witold Pilecki 1901-1948'', 2008, ISBN 978-83-60464-97-7〕 At that time little was known about the Germans' running of the camp, and it was thought to be an internment camp or large prison rather than a death camp. His superiors approved the plan and provided him with a false identity card in the name of "Tomasz Serafiński". On September 19, 1940, he deliberately went out during a Warsaw street roundup (łapanka), and was caught by the Germans along with some 2,000 innocent civilians. After two days' detention in the Light Horse Guards Barracks, where prisoners suffered beatings with rubber batons, Pilecki was sent to Auschwitz and was assigned inmate number 4859.〔
