In rokoch 1936 - 1939 slúžil in 2. the regiment podhalanských strelcov and Zbore protection pohraničia.

After the attack Nemcov fought in the 1. the regiment podhalanských strelcov, who was under 2. horskú brigade. After porážke Poľska sa first been trying unsuccessfully tried out to get to Hungary and pripojiť sa to poľským units vo Francúzsku. Become a sa, however, súčasťou anti-fascist partizánskeho odboja with prezývkou "Orzeł" (Orol), first as a member of the Zväzu of armed combat (ZWZ) . In 06/1943 the Germans burned his home and murdered his father, wife and dvojročného son. Vtedy changed my prezývku at the "Ogień" (Fire). This year vstúpil to A army (AK). In 1944 vstúpil to Roľníckych práporov (Battalions Chłopskie). Koncom the year 1944 began spolupracovať so sovietskymi partizánmi and Ľudovou army (AL) against spoločnému nepriateľovi - Nemcom.

After porážke fascism sa his unit transformed into milície (Milicja Obywatelska), which mali policajný character. The communists čoskoro zriadili in the area of the New Targu tajnú police in the first place (Urzęd Bezpieczeństwa Publicznego - UB) and Józef Kuraś sa technically became it veliteľom. Well, on the basis of podnetov miestnych communist vodcov bol on him, issued a warrant, ktorému sa vyhol útekom to the hôr.

Nepripojil sa k žiadnej protikomunistickej organizácii, but against komunistom fought on the vlastnú päsť. This obdobie his pôsobenia is controversial, the communists Kuraśovu group called the obyčajných banditov and vrahov and niektorí this opinion retained to this day. Niektoré officially records from tohto obdobia are tendenčné and nepovažujú sa for authentic.

Thanks to an informant in radoch Kuraśovej group bol 21.02.1947 together so 6 spolubojovníkmi obkľúčený about 50 príslušníkmi secret police (UB) and milície (MO). After prestrelke when uration obkľúčený with a single spolubojovníčkou, without the possibility of escape, pokúsil sa about suicide. Zraneniam podľahol on the second day.
