The German attack on the building of the Prudential insurance company, in Napoleon Square. At the beginning of the Uprising, this building, one of the tallest in Warsaw at that time, was taken by Polish soldiers of the “Kiliński” Battalion of the Armia Krajowa, who raised the flag of Poland on the antenna that was at the top of the skyscraper. On August 28, German artillery fiercely attacked the building. Sylwester Braun took that impressive photo of the impact of one of the German shells.
