Bronislav Kaminski
Bronislav Kaminski served as commander of the RONA brigade used to suppress the Warsaw Uprising. The profile reconstructs the person’s function in Warsaw and Ochota through documented office, decisions, supervision or operational conduct. It does not assign every crime committed by an institution or region to one individual.
Confirmed findings
- Kaminski commanded the RONA brigade used within the German chain of command to suppress the Warsaw Uprising.
- The documented mechanisms connected with his formation in Ochota include crimes against civilians, rape, plunder and crimes in Warsaw hospitals.
- He was killed by German authorities in August 1944; accounts of the circumstances differ.
Place in the chain of responsibility
The profile shows the role of an auxiliary formation and its commander in crimes committed in Ochota, including at Zieleniak. It treats Kaminski explicitly as a collaborationist formation commander operating within the German chain of command, not as a German official or as the sole perpetrator of every crime in the district.
Key events and mechanisms
- crimes committed by RONA units in Ochota
- Zieleniak during the Warsaw Uprising
The circle records authority, function and agency. Several profiles may describe different parts of the same persecution chain, so profile-level totals must not be added together.
Postwar accountability
Kaminski was killed by German authorities in August 1944. Official explanations and accounts of the circumstances differ.
Limits of the evidence
This is an explicit extension of scope to the commander of a collaborationist formation within the German command chain. The official explanation and precise course of his killing differ across the sources and must not be repeated as settled fact.
