Poland


Corporal Cadet Jan Rocki "Bratek" and a medical orderly from the "Zniwiarz" Group on the roof of a building at 34 Mickiewicza.  Photo by Stefan Lewandowski.

This card is part of a series of cards from the Warsaw Uprising Museum celebrating the 1944 Uprising.  The image features Jan Rocki (left) code named "Bratek" or, in English "Pansy" and an unknown medical orderly.   The photographer apparently survived the war and was still alive in 2012. 

Corporal Cadet Rocki also survived the Uprising.  The Uprsising Museum's website lists him as having surviving the war and passing away October, 10, 1998 at the age of 73.  The identity of the female medical orderly was apparently unknown at the time the postcard was printed.
