Many thanks for the links to the Warsaw Uprising Witnesses, Tony!
While on the German crimes at Warsaw hospitals during the Warsaw Uprising. I am posting two more photos from the Powazki Military Cemetery/Powazki Wojskowe.
The two simple white name plates commemorate two more Polish heroes who got killed in the Warsaw Uprising.
Eufemia Izdebska was a Grey Nun, a Daughter of Charity. Germans shot her along with wounded Home Army soldiers in the Jan Boży hospital in Old Town/Starówka district of Warsaw on the 23rd of August 1944.
Tadeusz Izdebski nickname "Pomian", age 22, was a soldier of general Stanisław Maczek’s brigade and fought in France in 1940. Upon the fall of France he made his way to Poland. He joned the Home Army and was a soldier of battalion Czata49, RADOSŁAW Group/regiment.
He got killed in Wola district on the 5th of August 1944.
Their bodies have never been recovered as Germans used to burn the bodies of killed Poles in the streets. The simple white plates are just markers of their symbolic final resting place.
The plates lay on the Izdebski Family grave,
Powazki Military Cemetery, sector B18.
Kazimierz Izdebski was a soldier of the Polish Legions. Died in 1923.
Zygmunt Izdebski was a poet. Died in 1944.
Przemysław Izdebski was a painter. Died in 1993.
