Helena Grossówna

Helena Grossówna (1904, Thorn, German Empire – 1994, Warsaw, Poland) was a Polish actress and dancer, who starred in several popular Polish films during the interwar period. She worked as a waitress during the German occupation of Poland, and at the same time, she served as an officer (lieutenant) in the Polish underground. During the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, she was in command of a women's section of the battalion "Sokół" (Eng. falcon), for which she was highly decorated.

In 2013 the Polish Post issued a commemorative stamp of her, with Adolf Dymsza and Mieczysława Ćwiklińska.
