Avoiding arrest after Germans captured Warsaw, he and his family escaped, first to Zakopane later that year, and next year, to Hungary. Due to conflict between former followers of J\u00F3zef Pi\u0142sudski (such as Lipi\u0144ski) and followers of W\u0142adys\u0142aw Sikorski, he was unable to join the Polish Army in the West.
