         In the 3rd Region of the 6th Prague Region of the Home Army Warsaw District, like in other Prague regions, insurgent units started fighting on August 1, 1944 at the W hour (5 p.m.). Due to massive dominance of enemies, after few days they were commanded to cease fighting and continue underground fights. A few soldiers crossed the Vistula river in order to join the insurgent units in Powiśle and continue fighting.
         On September 14 soldiers of the Red Army and the People's 1st Army marched in the Prague district.
