Żmija Group

The group was created in 1940 when the 3rd Scout Military Unit was transformed into the 225th platoon, based in the area of Marymont of Warsaw.

Since 1 August units of the group fought in Marymont, but they failed to reach the holding area of their attack.

Fights were waged in the Zdobycz Robotnicza Housing Estate, in the Kampinos forest on Zaborówek and in Truskawka as part of forest-based units.

Also, they took part in attacks on the Warsaw Gdańsk Station, in defence of Marymont, the "Forts" and workshops of Opel.

Among others, Wacław Gluth-Nowowiejski and Olgierd Budrewicz fought in the group.
