		Holy Mother of Ostra Brama, a painting by unknown author, was placed in the chapel.
		The gate itself became the name-sake for the Operation Ostra Brama, an assault on the city by the forces of Armia Krajowa in 1944 during the World War II.
		However, the cult of Our Lady of Ostra Brama prevailed and is continued in many shrines to the Virgin Mary in the world, most notably in Białystok, Drogosze, Kętrzyn, Olsztyn, Skarżysko-Kamienna and Wrocław.

		Operation Tempest (Polish: Plan Burza, sometimes also translated as Operation Storm) was a series of planned local uprisings prepared by the Polish Home Army during World War II.

		The second part was to be an armed struggle in the belt between the Curzon Line and the Vistula river, while the third part was to become a national uprising in the rest of Poland.

	LETTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		All planned operational terrain and objectives were to be reconnoitered thoroughly, the chances of success were to be analyzed (was the objective guarded or not), required resources were to be calculated, the method of attack itself was to be carefully planned, and finally various lines of withdrawal or camouflage had to be worked out.
		This operation, very effectively carried out in the middle of the day in the center of a major town proved to the public and soldiers of the AK that if they were arrested they had at least a chance of returning to freedom.
		However, an analysis of their operation during the Warsaw Uprising shows that they were well prepared from every aspect for their planned activity, similar to the many years of preparation for an uprising that bore fruit during "Burza" in bringing units to battle and striking at accurately chosen and important objectives.
