The local parish priest Stanisław Hoffman was arrested on October 13, 1939, imprisoned and tortured in Starogard Gdański, and murdered in the Szpęgawski Forest along with other Polish priests on October 16. Local Polish teachers were murdered in the Szpęgawski Forest on October 20, 1939, and several Poles from Pinczyn were in 1939 also murdered in the Zajączek forest nearby (see Intelligenzaktion). In 1942, several Polish families were expelled from the village to Potulice and afterwards deported either to the General Government or to forced labour, while their farms were handed over to German colonists as part of the Lebensraum policy.
