Gęsiówka

On August 5, 1944, during the early phase of Warsaw Uprising, Armia Krajowa's Battalion "Zośka" (Radosław Group of Szare Szeregi) led by Ryszard Białous and Eugeniusz Stasiecki attacked the Gęsiówka camp which was being liquidated at the time.

At the end of August, battalions Czata 49 and Broda 53 began a night operation in an attempt to link with Śródmieście district.

The group also managed to establish contact with the Stare Miasto district of Warsaw, controlled Okopowa street, captured several arms depots and took part in heavy fighting in the areas around Młynarska, Wolska, Żytnia and Karolkowa streets.

The only way to Śródmieście and Mokotów, where the insurgents were still defending themselves, was once again through the sewers.
