It is great that you can associate with the locations of his actions. Very frequently an exceptional act of liberation or defence will be overlooked due to the location not being familiar. I personally have no experience of Poland (yet!) but this piece really appeals to me as this states very plainly that Balan was injured in the spine. I am "in the zipper club" and can state very loudly that having anything touching my spinal scar is unpleasant let alone "action" so close to wounding. Unfortunately it doesn't state which part of the spine. I know the 12cm scar along my spin is not the preferred place for pressure, let alone crude and heavy military hardware. Working through this sort of injury makes this citation exceptional to me.
