The place referred to as the Polish Thermopylae invites you to visit the ruins to the bunker of captain Władysław Raginis that was build to defend Wizna. Here in September 1939, Captain Władysław Raginis, named the commander of the Wizna area, fought and was killed by a grenade. Władysław Raginis swore that he would not leave his post alive and that the defence will continue till the end. Like Leonidas at Thermopylae, he also wrote on the walls of his bunker: ‘Go Passenger and tell the fatherland that we died here in obedience to his sacred laws’. Walking on the battle field across the ruins of the bunker GG-126, one is taken back to the war times, to see the battle scenes known in the history as a ‘Polish Thermopylae’.
