Warszawa, Pileckiego 111

This comic-style mural shows a unit of anti-communist partisans in the forest fighting a great beast which personifies the Soviet Union. The image comes complete with a likeness of Witold Pilecki, a soldier of the Home Army, who made it into Auschwitz concentration camp where he started a resistance movement. After the war he was sentenced to death by the communist authorities.
