          The troops in the Kampinos Forest are ordered to concentrate their forces to launch a simultaneous attack from two sides in the area of the Powązki Cemetery.

          A German outpost in the house at 32 Aleje Jerozolimskie surrenders to the insurgents. The German crew is exhorted to do so by Poles from Bydgoszcz who were drafted into Wehrmacht and were part of the crew defending the outpost.

The captives testify that their company suffered 50% losses in the fights over Warsaw.
