A mural in Opoczno honours Major Henryk Dobrzański Hubal, commander of the war's first partisan unit.
The mural commemorates Major Henryk Dobrzański, pseudonym Hubala, commander of a Polish partisan unit in the first months of the Second World War. The precise location and appearance of this particular mural in Opoczno require verification on site, as available sources do not provide an exact address.
Henryk Dobrzański commanded one of the first partisan units of the war, operating in the areas of present-day Opoczyński county. He died on 30 April 1940 in a skirmish near the village of Anielin, not far from Opoczno.
The figure of Hubala is widely commemorated in the Opoczno area, including at the Monument to the Unknown Soldier during annual observances. The mural in the city is part of this same local historical memory.
