Smoke candles used by Germans during Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

Germans throw 183 smoke candles down manholes and suers (picture). During the night there are skirmishes between members of small combat groups and German scouting parties. Three SS-men and one officer of the Order Police are wounded. In one of the bunkers, the Germans discover about 100 people and weapons. More apartment buildings are blown up. The last of the fighters search for a way out to the “Aryan side”.
The day before, on May 13th general Stroop reports. “The recently apprehended Jews and bandits belong to so-called combat groups. All of them are young men and women between 18 and 25 years of age.” When another bunker is seized, “real armed combat” ensues.
