Polish KOP soldiers caught a Soviet infiltrator in 1936.In the thirties the Soviet Union was sending its partisans to fight to create the anti-Polish moods amid Belarussian and Ukrainian minorities located in the Eastern Poland.
 
 
Those partisans were usually dropped off from the planes or crossing the border illegally under cover of darkness.
 
 
To stop this situation,the Poles created a special elite border corps-KOP(Korpus Ochrony Pogranicza) 
 
 
Probably this captured partisanswas sent to a special concetration camp in Bereza-Kartuska which was just prepred for "Political Enemies" like this one.
