Description: The areas of Warsaw controlled by the Home Army on August 4th, 1944, during the opening stages of the Warsaw Uprising. This map was based on a variety of sources and is generally accurate; greater accuracy cannot be obtained as there were no stable front-lines and the ones presented here are only for orientation. Also note that not all areas outside of the Polish zone of control were controlled by the Germans: in early August much of the city was still a no-man's-land (as was the case of Żoliborz that was abandoned on August 1, and then easily retaken by the Polish forces to retreat to Kampinos and return there)
