Omszaly okop / Entrenchment in the Moss

Omszaly okop

W 1944 w tym rejonie Niemcy bronili Armii Radzieckiej dostepu do Warszawy, odcinek miedzy Kolbiela a Ostrowcen w poblizu Wisly byl obsadzony przez 73 Dywizje Piechoty, w czasie walk wzmocnionej innymi jednostkami. Linia obrony zostala przelamana w dniach 27-29 lipca min. wlasnie tutaj, na zachód od Dabrówki, przez jednostki 16 Korpusu Pancernego 2 Armii Pancernej i 8 Armii Gwardii.

Dzisiaj lazac po tym lesie mozna znalezc sporo sladów II wojny swiatowej, oczywiscie najpierw trafiamy na bunkry na Dabrowieckiej (Bialej) Górze, ale takze leje po bombach, rowy przeciwczolgowe, czy okopy takie jak ten.

Skrzynki szukaj na poczatku okopu, strzega jej kostropate sosny.

Entrenchment in the Moss

During II World War in 1944, Wehrmaht defended this area. The defence line from Kolbiel to Ostrowiec near Vistula River was defended by 73th Infantry Division. Line of defense was broken on July 27-29 here, to the west from Dabrówka village by Red Army (units from 16th Tank Corps of 2nd Tank Army, and 8th Guards Army).

Now, when you walk in this forest, you can find many remains from the II World War - bunkers, bomb craters, anti-tank trenches, and entrenchments like this one.

Geocache is hidden in the end of entrenchment, it is guarded by pines with interesting shapes.
