...subjugation. Brave, stubborn Mayor Stefan Starzynski would not be there to witness the freeing of the city he had defended to the death after other Polish resistance ceased. But his place was filled by the equally brave underground leader who goes by the nom de guerre of General Bor...
City of Rubble. From sections of Warsaw which they controlled, Bor's men could see the Russians approaching at last, and Russian patrols crossed the river to establish contact.
