He finished his officer training shortly before the World War II and participated in the defense of Poland.
In April 1945, the Germans evacuated the prison camp and forced the inmates, including Krawiec, on a death march until they were freed by American troops.
In 1949, he arrived in Chicago and worked for ten years as a mechanic for Canfield Beverage Company.
He was part of President Nixon's press pool during his presidential visit to Poland.
