Positions prior to the battle

The first phase of the battle started August 13 with a Red Army frontal assault on the Praga bridgehead. In heavy fighting, Radzymin changed hands several times and foreign diplomats, with the exception of the British and Vatican ambassadors, hastily left Warsaw. On August 14 Radzymin fell to the Red Army, and the lines of Gen. Władysław Sikorski's Polish 5th Army, which were defending the areas north of Warsaw, were broken. The 5th Army had to fight three Soviet armies at once: the 3rd, 4th and 15th. The Modlin sector was reinforced with reserves—the Siberian Brigade and Gen. Franciszek Krajowski's fresh 18th Infantry Division, which were both elite, battle-tested units—and the 5th Army held out until dawn.
