Major Florian Dabrowski
1798-1848
Hero of two national uprisings

„The major did not die from wounds received in the battle, he was left as a wounded soldier. „The four-hour battle for Książ so enraged the Prussian landers that after the surrender they slaughtered wounded soldiers and civilians. More people died in 15 minutes than during the battle. Among other things, they stabbed a wounded commander with bayonets and stabbed him with flasks.”
