          The simultaneous attack of all insurgent forces aiming to break through from the Old Town to Śródmieście ends in failure.
          At night the Home Army "Północ" ("North") group fails to force its way from the Old Town to Śródmieście. The troops led by Captain "Motyl" ("Butterfly") attempt to make a "sewers landing" on Bank Square, but the Germans are not to be taken by surprise. Several Polish soldiers make their way to the surface, stumbling right upon German positions. After a short but violent combat, the insurgents retreat, leaving a few killed soldiers on their way back. The "landing troops" make their way through the sewers to Śródmieście.
          Around 1 am at night, the Śródmieście group commanded by Major Stanisław Steczkowski "Zagończyk" begins an attack, captures the barracks on Cieplna Street and reaches the Mirów Halls. However, the insurgents, caught in suppressive fire, are not able to make any further progress.
          The assault on Bielańska Street begins only two hours later, without waiting further for the planned attack of the right wing commanded by Major Gustaw Billewicz "Sosna" ("Pine"). The attack collapses under German barrage fire.
          Other attacks carried out from the direction of the Old Town also end in failure. Only a group of 60 "Zośka" soldiers is able to reach the basements of the Zamoyski Palace near the Saxon Garden, lying low in hiding for the rest of the day.
          The attempt to evacuate the Old Town claimed the lives of 200 insurgents, among others Scoutmaster Major "Jan" (Jan Andrzejewski), the commander of the "Broda" ("Beard") brigade, leaving another 200 soldiers injured.

          In the morning the Germans launch a general attack on the Old Town from all directions, supported by artillery and air force.
          The insurgents reman all the outposts and struggle to repel the enemy. The Germans seize the Fiat Automobile Factory on Sapieżyńska Street and secure Zakroczymska Street.

          In one of air raids over 300 people, including ca. 120 soldiers of the "Chrobry I" battalion, lose their lives under the debris of the Simons' Passage (the corner of Nalewki and Długa Streets).

          The Germans deport around 3 100 people, including many insurgents, from Pruszków to Stutthof concentration camp.
