          The first day of the armistice.
          The first group of only 8000 civilians leaves the city along the streets: Grzybowska, Piusa IX, Śniadeckich and Aleje Jerozolimskie.
          The day passes on repairing destroyed uniforms, searching for warm clothes, hiding archives and looking for family relatives.

          Right after 8 pm, that is after the deadline of ceasefire, a volley of artillery missiles fall on Śródmieście.
          The Germans storm the district - the attack will last until 5.00 am the next day.

          In view of this hopeless situation and no real possibilities of help, after a long discussion the Uprising Command makes a decision to capitulate.
          General "Bór" ("Forest") forms a special committee to hold talks with the German side about the conditions of military disengagement in Warsaw. Throughout the night the committee sets out Polish conditions of surrender.
