Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. In Russia--which became Poland--in Czarist Russia, but which became Poland. Right on the border. It became through the partition of Czarist Russia, it became part of Poland. And this estate was in Poliesie. That is a wooded area of Poland, right on the border. Well, the estate was seized by the peasants and divided among themselves by themselves. It was not large, but it was--well, maybe 5,000 acres; 5,000 or 6,000 acres. Mr. JENNER. I would say that is fairly large. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. My father was able to regain it. He did not take it back from the peasants, but he regained ownership and was able to sell the forests from it, and eventually sold it back again to the peasants piece by piece. So we were not completely penniless refugees. Mr. JENNER. Did your mother have an interest in that estate? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes, it was mother's and father's estate, probably jointly. Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, you completed your classical intermediate education, as you call the gymnasium, in 1929. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. So you are now 18 years sf age? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Your mother is deceased. Did you live with your father during this period? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Mr. JENNER. Now---- Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Very close relationship I had with my father. Mr. JENNER. Now, did you then leave Poland? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No. Then I tried to--I did not like the country very much, Poland. We became Polish citizens, but I didn't particularly feel at home there. I learned the language. But it didn't feel like home. And I decided to go to study in Belgium, and asked for permission to go to Belgium, and the Polish Government refused me the permission because I was close to the military age. So I volunteered for the Polish Army. Mr. JENNER. Now, I would like to go into that. Go right ahead. Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I volunteered for the Polish Army and chose the cavalry and was sent to the military academy in Grudziondz. Well, it was a famous military academy in Poland where the Polish nobility displayed their ability to ride horseback. And I was able to get to it because I volunteered--I was 18 years old. I graduated from there. Mr. JENNER. Excuse me. May I ask you this; Would it have been possible for any young man your age at that time, let's say, if I may use a reference, peasant, which you were not, to have volunteered for the same position or division in the Polish Army? Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. There were some exceptions. Most of the people there were members of the aristocracy, Polish aristocracy, and German aristocracy, who happened to have estates in Poland. But we had some exceptions. But they did not survive later on. They were eliminated, not because of the snobbishness, but it was a pretty tough training, and you needed money to be in that school. You had to have a uniform, you have to have your own horse. Mr. JENNER. Now, where did you get the funds to finance it?
