Świerczewski was heavily wounded in a skirmish in March 1947, as he went on inspection of the Polish troops fighting with Ukrainians without an escort, in an ambush organized by Ukrainian Insurgent Army near Baligród, and died within hours after.
After World War II the factory was renamed: Zakłady Metalowe im. gen. "Waltera" (General Walter's Metal Works).
