The "WIRA" dugout is a reconstruction of part of a partisan camp operating during World War II. This is exactly where the dugout was located, serving as a weapons depot and a place of refuge for members of Lieutenant Konrad Bartoszewski's unit - alias "WIR". Lieutenant "WIR" was the author of the plan that went down in history as the "Battle of Osuchami" - the largest partisan battle of the AK units. The dugout was created thanks to members of the Historical Reconstruction Group, who decided to rebuild this place. Konrad Bartoszewski, alias "Wir", "Zadora", "Łada", lieutenant of the AK, writer (born July 5, 1914 in Baranówka in Volhynia, died April 21, 1987 in Lublin) - commander of a partisan unit operating near Józefów (Biłgoraj district) during World War II. He studied Polish studies at the University of Warsaw. Participant of the September Campaign, he ended his fight on September 24 near Tomaszów Lubelski. After the defeat of the campaign, he settled in Józefów, in the area where he began his underground activity in the Home Army. He became the commander of the Józefów District, his unit fought many battles with the Germans. On February 25, 1943, he was arrested, but after a daring action, he was rescued by the unit of Czesław Mużacz, pseudonym "Selim". The next day, in retaliation, the Germans publicly shot Bartoszewski's family - parents Janina and Wacław and sister Wienisława. In the Sturmwind II action, he was the commander of the Home Army partisan group and the author of the battle plan for Osuchy. He survived as one of the few Polish commanders taking part in this battle. After the Red Army entered Poland, he and his unit did not surrender. On January 28, 1945, he attacked the UB-NKVD prison in Biłgoraj and rescued imprisoned members of the Home Army. The unit was disbanded in August 1945. Bartoszewski himself settled in Warsaw; he came out in 1945. In 1952 he was arrested, in 1955 he was released due to poor health. In 1969 he received a doctorate in humanities from the University of Wrocław.
