Stan SEYDEGART, Company Manager and Royal Air Force Flier: 1914-2004
Polish refugee escaped German invaders and made his way to Canada
to join the air force. Captured after his bomber was shot down,
he later escaped. After the war, he managed companies that helped
build the Trans-Canada Highway
By Andrew DAVIDSON,
Monday,
February 21, 2005 - Page S6
Toronto -- Stanislaw
SEYDEGART had the good fortune and sense
to know when to escape a country, an airplane and even a prisoner-of-war
camp.
Brought up in Warsaw, he was raised by loving parents and two
older brothers, Marek and Bolek. At 13 -- thanks to his exam
results and considerable efforts by his father, Anatole -- he
began studies at an elite school in Warsaw usually reserved for
the children of civil servants, officers in the military, and
members of the ruling Polish Socialist Party that had taken power
in a 1926 coup led by Jozef Pilsudski.
He graduated from the University of Warsaw in 1935, the same
year his mother died. "For the first time, at the age of 20,
I became aware of the finality of death," he wrote in Freedom
on the Run, a self-published memoir made up of a series of short
stories he completed last year.
As the era of radio dawned in Europe, his family had been among
the first in Poland to tune in to events from afar. His father
had been the 28th person in Poland to get a licence for a radio
receiver, so when Polish president Ignacy Moscicki announced
that the German army had crossed the border, Stan
SEYDEGART heeded
the warning. With German motorized columns heading for Warsaw,
he begged his father and two brothers to leave, but they refused.
Alone, he escaped to Lithuania. His father and his two brothers
would be killed in the war, along with most of his extended family.
In Lithuania, he made money by taking passport photographs with
a borrowed camera and then travelled across the breadth of the
Soviet Union, drinking champagne with fellow Poles on the Trans-Siberian
Railway, all the way to Vladivostok on the Pacific. With a false
visa and a $20 American bill hidden in his left shoe, he sailed
to Japan and then on to Canada in late 1941.
In Canada, he joined a unit of the Polish forces in Windsor,
Ontario, recruiting Polish Americans into the Canadian army.
In 1943, while at a Toronto hospital visiting a friend with whom
he had escaped Poland, he met Janka
STYKOLT, another Polish refugee.
By all accounts, it was love at first sight. The war, however,
had first call and he soon found himself on his way to Britain
to join the Polish arm of the Royal Air Force. During a stop
in Montreal, he gave most of his Canadian money to a florist
with instructions to send Ms.
STYKOLT red roses every Saturday
until the funds ran out.
After training, Mr.
SEYDEGART was assigned as a navigator to
Lancaster bomber "U-Uncle" in the 300th Bomber Squadron, the
first squadron made up of Polish airmen. On U-Uncle's 29th mission
one less than the 30 required for a six-month furlough --
the plane was attacked and burst into flames over Germany. Only
a few of the crew managed to bail out. Mr.
SEYDEGART landed in
a tree, barefoot (rapid changes of air pressures had removed
his boots and socks) and in the dark. Luckily, he found his pilot,
who gave him a pair of wool socks that would save his life.
Suffering from severe frostbite, Mr.
SEYDEGART was later captured
and taken to a makeshift hospital, where a German officer ordered
his feet to be cut off. He was saved by a fellow prisoner, a
Serbian doctor who had studied medicine in Poland and who refused
to perform the amputation. The Serbian nursed his wounds until
the blisters healed and his fever subsided. Once Mr.
SEYDEGART
was healthy, he was taken to a PoW camp near the Polish border.
In early 1945, the Germans decided to move the camp population
away from advancing Allied forces and marched all the prisoners
to another camp in Musseburg. On the way, Mr.
SEYDEGART and an
American major slipped off the path and hid behind a tree until
the column of prisoners had passed. They ran for 19 days and,
at one point, were sheltered by local villagers. One night, the
pair stopped at a beer parlour only to be confronted by a group
of thirsty SS officers.
"Shoot them if they try to escape," one of the officers told
a guard and left them in a wooden shack. Undeterred, the two
men overpowered the guard and fled. Exhausted and fearing reprisal,
they found their way to the Musseburg camp. All things considered,
they decided it offered the best hiding place, and thus they
became the only escape team of the war known to break into a
PoW camp. Their luck held and, within days, the camp was liberated
by American forces. At war's end, he received the Royal Air Force
Distinguished Flying Cross and the Polish Cross of Valour.
After the war, Mr.
SEYDEGART followed his heart and married Janka
STYKOLT. In 1946, they settled in Toronto, where he soon became
an avid hockey fan and, for 50 years, bought season tickets to
attend Toronto Maple Leafs games. Of all the jobs he held, his
favourite was to manage companies that built bridges, dams and
docks along the length of the Trans-Canada Highway.
In 1988, at 73, he retired to co-found the Ulyssean Society,
a Toronto group that promotes education and creativity among
older adults. On the side, he wrote a column for the society's
newsletter in which he commented on domestic and international
politics. During summers, he was an enthusiastic sailor.
In 1999, the University of Toronto's faculty of social work established
the Stanislaw Seydegart scholarship in gerontology and aging
to promote lifelong learning.
Stanislaw SEYDEGART was born in Warsaw on December 21, 1914.
He died in Toronto on November 4, 2004, after suffering a heart
attack. He was 89. He is survived by his wife Janka and by daughters
Kasia and Magda and by five grandchildren.
