Memorial Stone of the Battalion “Miotła” (Broom) (Stawki Street, on the corner of Dzika Street)

The battalion commanded by Major Franciszek Mazurkiewicz pseudonym “Niebora” was formed between February and March 1944 in the Directorate of Diversion (Kedyw) of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa) structures. The battalion conducted diversionary and sabotage activities. It also executed traitors and informers, as the name “Miotła” refers. During the Warsaw Uprising the battalion “Miotła” was fighting in the “Radosław” Group, first in Wola district, then in the Old Town. The stone with a plaque commemorates the place, where the hard and recent battles of the Battalion took place on August 11th and 12th 1944. As the inscription says, the commander “Niebora” and 25 of his soldiers were killed during the fights. As a result of the losses, the group ceased to exist and the rest of the soldiers joined the other units. Approximately 370 soldiers served in the “Broom” ranks. Battle losses of the battalion “Broom” in the Uprising are estimated at about 240 killed and wounded. After the war a lot of them met persecution from the communist authorities.

On August 11th 1987, a commemorative plaque sponsored by the last former insurgents from the Home Army battalion “Broom”, was unveiled by General Jan Mazurkiewicz pseudonym “Radosław”.
