Mystery behind an iconic Warsaw Rising photograph finally solved!

Mystery behind an iconic Warsaw Rising photograph finally solved!

Tragedy of the Warsaw Rising, bravery of the Insurgents and the suffering of the civilians are discussed whenever the case of the fighting for freedom in Warsaw in the summer of 1944 is brought to discussion. One of the most terrifying elements of the drama of the Rising was the passage through sewers. Today, we reveal the story behind the most iconic photograph related to the ‘underground inferno’!
The forgotten context of the Warsaw Rising 1944

The forgotten context of the Warsaw Rising 1944

It was almost the end of July 1944. The higher command of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa) and the Polish Underground State were busy considering pros and cons to launch the battle for Warsaw, later known as the Warsaw Rising. Then, they discussed in depth political and military issues and even today these issues are being analyzed and questioned by historians, journalists and all those for whom the history of the Warsaw Rising is dear. However, these discussions rarely mention the aspect that had an impact on those who took the decision to start the Rising namely, their WWI experience.

Phoenix from the ashes. A short story of Warsaw that was destroyed and rebuilt

A city with chaotic and inconherent architecture, that is how Warsaw is often perceived by tourists. For Varsovians however, their city is beautiful because it was brought back to life. We cannot boast about ideally preserved relics of the past but thanks to thousands of Warsaw’s inhabitants the city has risen from the ashes.
The tragic yet heroic tale of Captain Szostak and the crew of B-24 Liberator KG890

The tragic yet heroic tale of Captain Szostak and the crew of B-24 Liberator KG890

It is one of the highlights of the Warsaw Rising Museum. Every visitor raises their head to ponder on its story. The Liberator piloted by Cpt. Zbigniew Szostak completed six vital airdrops of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies over fighting Warsaw in 1944. This one-to-one scale replica of Szostak’s Liberator pays homage to the bravery, skill and courage of the crew who gave their all to help Warsaw during its greatest hour of need. All seven crew members were sadly killed in action over southern Poland on 15 August 1944, by a Luftwaffe night fighter during their return flight back to Brindisi, Italy.
