Left: A photograph antedating the Uprising of the district headquarters of the German Police and Gandarmerie at 75 Zelazna Street. Note concrete bunker protecting the entrance to the building.
Right: An August 3, photograph of the men of the Home Army's Chrobry II battalion after their successfull seizure of the building and taking 10 Germans prisoners. Note that for forces armed only with small arms, to which the bunker was imprevious, such a seizure was very difficult. The scorch marks on the outside of the bunker suggest that somehow they managed to approach the bunker sufficiently closely to lobby a hand granade inside. |
