World War I

[edit]

The article says:

During this period, he developed close relationships with the Chofetz Chaim and Radin's rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Naftoli Trop. This brief period, Rabbi Sarna often said, was one of the most beautiful in his life. Recognizing Rabbi Sarna's unique capabilities, the Chofetz Chaim held him in high esteem. Thus, when the Chofetz Chaim was asked to travel to Memel to defend a student who had been accused of espionage on behalf of the Germans, he asked Rabbi Sarna to accompany and assist him.

Memel was a German city, ant it was never occupied during WWI.

Rabbi Sarna never revealed the details of this affair. However, he often related that when he informed the Chofetz Chaim that in the end, the student hadn't been condemned to death, but only to six weeks in prison, the Chofetz Chaim cried out, "Fools! Is the Czar's army certain that it will last even six weeks?" In truth, the young man had been sentenced to six years in prison, but Rabbi Sarna chose not tell that to the Chofetz Chaim so as not to upset him. Six weeks later, the Communist Revolution took place and the Czar was deposed. The student was freed a few days later.

Nicholas II abdicated 7 months before the Communist Revolution
