In the autumn, Konstanty refuses to change his prisoner state from military to civil, and induces other prisoners not to do so. As the result, he is sentenced to the pe­nal­ty section of the Camp Altengrabow.

From 18th of August till 18th of November, Konstanty systematically makes logs to his Notatnik [Notebook] — his first contact with pen and paper from two years.

In the spring, poet is being transferred to camp's hospital. He works here as a translator and paramedic.

In the hospital, Konstanty meets english doctor, John Burton, who was captured in Italy. As time passes by, friendship rises between them. Burton will appear in number of later poems written by Gałczyński. On the other hand, Burton will devote to Konstanty a large part of his war-time memories [John Burton, Mirador: My Term as Hitler's Guest, London 1986].

In the autumn, after collapse of the Warsaw Uprising, Gałczyński writes Pieśń o fladze [A Song about a Flag].

In the beginning of the year, poet is being disciplinary transferred from Al­ten­gra­bow's hospital to Tangerhütte, later to the munitions factory in Hillersroben, and fi­nal­ly to the iron-foundry in Gardenlegen. After liberation of the camp by British troops, Konstanty finds himself in the transitional camp in Höxter, Westphalia. He writes here a poem Pochodnia [The Torch] as a demontration of his decision to return to Poland.
