The Zośka Battalion fought in the most difficult areas of Warsaw throughout the uprising . At the beginning of August 1944 , Zośka was stationed in the Wola district , where , after early successes by the insurgents , which included the liberation of 350 Jews from the Gęsiówka concentration camp , the Germans launched their first major counter-offensive of the uprising ( and also committed some of their worst atrocities - the Wola massacre ) . After 11 August , when Wola fell , Romocki and the entire Zośka Battalion relocated to Warsaw Old Town ( " Starówka " or " Stare Miasto " in Polish ) , where they fought valiantly for the next three weeks
