          Warsaw is now divided into three totally isolated pockets of resistance: Mokotów, Śródmieście and Żoliborz.
          Śródmieście is connected with Powiśle through passages near Ordynacka and Foksal Streets, and with Powiśle Czerniakowskie through Książęca Street.

          Throughout the whole day Powiśle undergoes heavy shelling and bombardment, which testifies to the fact that the next stage of the German plan is to push the Polish forces away from the Vistula River.
          The German units of Dirlewanger and Schmidt launch an all-out attack on Powiśle and North Śródmieście.
          Powiśle, now under the command of Major "Róg" ("Horn"), is under heavy artillery fire. The Germans attempt to "soften" the defense of the insurgents before the scheduled final attack.

          Successive waves of bombing and artillery fire turn the streets of North Sródmieście into ruins, in particular Świętokrzyska, Jasna, Moniuszki, Złota and Marszałkowska.
          German troops are advancing on Traugutta, Mazowiecka and Królewska Streets, and on the section of Grzybowska Street from the direction of Wronia and Ciepła Streets.

          Lieutenant Marian Krawczyk "Harnaś", the commander of the NOW-AK (National Military Organization-Home Army) battalion is killed at the corner of Świętokrzyska and Mazowiecka Streets.

          The insurgent radio ceases broadcasting because of heavy bombardments.
