          The Germans capture Upper Czerniaków.
          The fighting in the Czerniaków beachhead comes to an end. Only a small group of the insurgents is able to swim across the Vistula River. The others, mostly injured, fall into the German hands.
          The SS execute or hang over 200 wounded insurgents, female messengers, and medics. Rev. Józef Stanek "Rudy", the chaplain in the "Kryska" group, is one of them, hanged with his own scarf.
          The other captives are rushed to Szucha Avenue.
          Major Łatyszonek and a group of soldiers from the 9th Infantry Regiment of the Polish People's Army are taken into custody.

          The German pressure on Mokotów - the next target of the main enemy offensive after the fall of Upper Czerniaków - is escalating.
          The Germans regroup their forces and prepare themselves for a general attack on the next insurgent pocket of resistance - Mokotów. For the whole day, the district is shelled by artillery, "roaring cows", and air bombs.
          The Germans bombard the area of Aleje Niepodległości.

          Enemy bombs and artillery fire destroy several houses in Żoliborz, taking a heavy toll on the civil population.

          The last known edition of the National Armed Forces magazine - "Szaniec" ("Rampart") - is published.
