          The Germans launch another attack on the Polish positions in Czerniaków.
          The insurgents commanded by Captain Ryszard Białous "Jerzy" and the Berlinger's soldiers led by Major Stanisław Łatyszonek still put up resistance on Solec and Wilanowska Streets.
          After a fierce fight, the enemy captures the houses at 3/5, 6 and 4 Wilanowska Street.
          A handful of the beachhead defenders have neither strength nor possibilities to further withstand the enemy's attacks. Another few houses on Wilanowska Street fall into the German hands.
          Only a small, 250-meter strip of the coast and the ruins of two houses: at 1 Wilanowska and 53 Solec Street are still controlled by the insurgents.
          At night a group of wounded soldiers is successfully transported from this narrow strip of land to the Praga bank of the Vistula river. In this way they avoid the fate of those who fall into the enemy's hands in one of the buildings on Wilanowska Street: 112 injured Polish soldiers are killed, and 12 others taken into captivity are hanged.

          At night, General Zygmunt Berling, the commander of the Polish First Army, addresses the defenders of the Czerniaków beachhead from the Praga bank of the Vistula River, promising to send pontoons for evacuation.

          The Germans storm Kępa Potocka in Marymont and destroy the beachhead with the landing forces of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Polish People's Army.

          On this day the last Allied drops take place over Warsaw.
