Fortress
Fort Legionów
🇵🇱 Poland
Fort Legionów (Russian: Владимир, "Vladimir") – a fort of the ring of fortifications around the Warsaw Citadel, built in 1851–1853.
In the interwar period the fort housed the archive of Section II of the General Staff of the Polish Army (military intelligence); undestroyed in September 1939, it fell into German hands, thereby becoming one of the greatest known blunders of Polish intelligence of the Second Republic, which led to the imprisonment and death of many Polish agents.
