Anna Zakrzewska (24 December 1925 – 11 August 1944)[1] served with the Polish underground army as a courier and a medical orderly.
During the Warsaw Uprising, she was assigned to III Platoon ("Felek"), 2 Company ("Rudy") of Batalion Zośka.
Batalion Zośka was established by leaders of the Polish Scouting movement (code name: Szare Szeregi), a centre of resistance to the Nazi occupation.
On 11 August 1944, Zakrzewska was killed along with many other soldiers of Batalion Zośka, which was then engaged in combat with the German forces in the Wola district of Warsaw.
The nurses of the battalion kept a lookout for the enemy, distributed orders, ammunition, and meals, and cared for the wounded.
