Nowacki Walenty „Sławomir”

                                       from the IPN collections

Walenty Nowacki „Sławomir” was born on January 26, 1906, in Grzymaczew (Sieradz Land), son of Marcin and Józefa, née Łyczka. He was born into a peasant family and had five brothers.

He fought as a volunteer in the Polish-Soviet War in 1920 (probably exaggerating his actual age).

Together with his brother Jan, he graduated from high school in Kalisz and then studied at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Lviv Polytechnic from 1924 to 1928, obtaining a diploma as a chemical engineer.
