Saint Maximillian Kolbe

[WW2History]

So what's the story? Lethal Injection? His Chronic Tuberculosis? He died 1941, surely some documentary evidence beyond "Heart Failure" exists?

Except this there are plenty of stories being told, which go back to a few people it appears.

They even claim to have hair of his beard which can be venerated by Catholics....

Even if real, this won't prove anything of course....

Thanks for the actual death certificate, people argue the heart failure is from a lethal injection, and Roman Catholics refuse to believe otherwise.

Is this the only documentary evidence around Kolbe?

I found these documents but I do not know exactly what they are?

I actually noticed Kolbe used to hang out with a lot of German soldiers

I also do not know where these documents are from mentioning Kolbe? These seem different from the archive one you sent?

Kolbe is actually a German surname. Plenty of Wehrmacht soldiers were Catholics.
Some may even had have relatives in Poland.

And yes... The documents do not support nefarious causes of death... So they simply claim that the authors were lying and that their unproven story is still true. But don't we know that from the Holocaust narrative anyway?

As a Catholic Kolbe's death story never made any sense but I went along with it until I learned about the holocaust lie. It led me into a deep dive to understand the situation in Poland and learn more about his monastery.
He was at least half German. He created his Militia Immaculata to combat bolshevism, judaism and freemasonry. His monastery was affiliated with the far-right Polish Catholic-Fascist party the National Radical Camp.
It never made sense that the Germans would want to kill him, since he would be an asset to them. The Germans tried to ally with the National Radical Camp party.

The Polish Catholic hierarchy made an agreement with the German military to ensure there was at least 1 Polish Catholic Chaplain in every concentration camp where Poles were taken.

Several of his monastery brothers joined the Wehrmacht. If the Germans were so evil and hated Catholic Poles, why would these priests join the Wehrmacht?

It's claimed Kolbe and his monastery "hid" 2,000 jews from the Germans. However when I contacted Kolbe's monastery, they gave me their history and said the German military used his monastery as an administration centre. His monastery was is the middle of the village and right next to the train station. With German guards everywhere in such a prominent location it would be impossible to hide 2,000 jews. So that is a lie.

There's contradictions in his arrest. The common one is that Kolbe was arrest for opposing the Germans during the occupation. But then another story says that he was falsely arrested based on lie told by an ex-member of his monastery who had a grudge because Kolbe dismissed him because he was having an affair with a nun. So official reason for his arrest is murky, since official documents just say he was there under protective custody. You don't put criminals into protective custody. Protective custody is for protecting people from outside harm.

I read Witold Pilecki's diary/memoir of being in Auschwitz. He was a Polish soldier to snuck into Auschwitz and set up a resistance organization to produce atrocity propaganda. The people in the resistance eventually got into administrative control of Auschwitz. His diary says they would use lethal injection to kill people who refused to take part in their resistance activities and might expose them.

In his diary, he claim that an unnamed "old priest" took the place of a young soldier that was sentenced to die. This seems to be an allusion to Maximilian Kolbe taking the place of Franciszek Gajowniczek. But when you look at the ages of Kolbe and Gajowniczek, Kolbe was 47 at the time and Gajowniczek was 41. Gajowniczek was hardly a "young soldier. So Witold Pilecki just made up a story to appeal to Catholic Poles.

Another story that contradicts the "evil germans against kolbe" narrative is the story of the polish boxer Tadeusz Pietrzykowski in Auschwitz. According to his history, Kolbe was being beaten by Jewish Communists in Auschwitz and a German S.S. officer told Pietrzykowski to go save Kolbe's life.

While none of this is conclusive evidence, but having a clearer picture of what was happening in Auschwitz and Kolbe's history, I've come to the conclusion that he was taken into protective custody because he was an internationally famous catholic priest who opposed the jews and communists (who were doing violence in Poland). He worked in Auschwitz as a chaplain. Either he was asked by Witold Pilecki's resistance group to join them and refused, or else he else he discovered their plans and was ready to expose them - but it was the resistance group that killed him.

Let me know your thoughts.
