Miejsce katastrofy samolotu kapitana Mieczysława Olszewskiego

Tablica w Stanisławowie Drugim przypomina o kapitanie pilocie Mieczysławie Leonardzie Olszewskim, który zginął 1 września 1939 roku podczas obrony Warszawy. Był dowódcą 123. Eskadry Myśliwskiej, należącej do Brygady Pościgowej.

Tego ranka polskie samoloty wystartowały, by przechwycić niemiecką formację zmierzającą w stronę stolicy. Piloci zaatakowali bombowce i osłaniające je myśliwce, zmuszając część niemieckich maszyn do zrzucenia bomb poza celem. W starciu eskadra poniosła ciężkie straty. Samolot kapitana Olszewskiego został trafiony i rozbił się w okolicy Stanisławowa Drugiego. Kapitan Olszewski zginął w pierwszych godzinach wojny. Pośmiertnie odznaczono go Krzyżem Srebrnym Orderu Wojennego Virtuti Militari. Tablica upamiętnia jego ostatni lot i udział polskich pilotów w obronie stolicy.

How it working

To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.

STEP 1

You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.

STEP 2

After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.

STEP 3

The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!

STEP 4

Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Project partners

Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.

Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
