On January 24, 1943, the newspaper Ilustrowany Kurjer Polski issued in Polish by the German occupiers published an innocuous poem "A satire against easy rhymes". The German censors failed to notice the acrostic "Polacy, Sikorski dziaƂa" (Poles, Sikorski [the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces in the West] is active) [1, in Polish]. In 1944, Gestapo (the Nazi secret police) murdered the author of the poem, Eugeniusz Kolanko [2, in Polish].
