The mail service.

Letters posted in the special mail boxes bearing the Poland's white eagle emblem were collecte twice a day. Their weight had to be minimal and they had to conform to instructions, among these being that the message should not exceed 25 words and bear no information on the course of the battle. Note that adjacent to the mail box is pasted a wall newspaper, the Walka (The Fight).
