Frank Blaichmen was a Jewish partisan who helped destroy German communications. Frank formed a group with refugees and they dressed up as Polish officers to sneak by Germans. Frank helped his six brothers and sisters by taking his bike to try and find items he could buy and sell to get food and he was one of the lucky 22 Jews who survived the attack in the woods that the Nazis did on the Jews.

The impact that Frank’s resistance had on the Jews was good because he was able to create a unit of 60 refugees and he got 28 men from prison of war camp. They disrupted the communication of the Nazis by damaging telephone lines, damaging dairy factories that made the food for the Germans, and ambushing German patrols. The Germans had to stay hungry and had to try to find a way to communicate to other soldiers because the telephone and communication lines were down.
