Józewski arranged discussions between Polish and Ukrainian partisans. He served as an intermediary in an abortive attempt to bring a Ukrainian politician into the Polish National Council. Finally, he worked to organize a unit of the Polish Home Army in Volhynia that would fight, he hoped, side by side with Ukrainians against the Red Army at some future point.26 The experience of German and Soviet occupation, Józewski seemed to believe, had brought Poles and Ukrainians in Volhynia closer together. This was by no means the opinion of the Polish government, and was certainly an error.
It was perhaps in spring 1943
