Warsaw Uprising Calendar: August 24 - news of uprising in Paris reached Warsaw


The Old Town is under heavy artillery fire and enemy bombardment from the very morning. The John of God hospital on Bonifraterska Street is finally falling to the hands of German soldiers who have been unsuccessfully trying to take over the buildings for several days. 

The defenders of the Fiat plant repulsed another attack.

The insurgent hospital facilities have a lot of work to keep up with the service of wounded soldiers. 

Information about the uprising of Parisians and the liberation of the French capital by Allied units is reaching Warsaw. It is taken as a good sign - the occupant is losing another important city, although the history of the insurgents is completely different there.
