Podmokle Wielkie

Podmokle Wielkie [pɔdˈmɔklɛ ˈvʲɛlkʲɛ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Babimost, within Zielona Góra County, Lubusz Voivodeship, in western Poland.

The territory became a part of the emerging Polish state under its first historic ruler Mieszko I in the 10th century.

Podmokle Wielkie was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province.

[2] During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the Germans arrested a local Polish school teacher, who was then deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp,[3] and killed there (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).

Several young Poles, wanting to avoid being drafted into the Wehrmacht and fighting against Poland, fled the village.
