The occupiers resettled the Poles. The most important buildings were occupied by the army and German institutions such as a prison, SS and Luftwaffe barracks and Gendarmerie Headquarters for the Warsaw area.
65 percent of the district was ravished during the Warsaw Uprising. Wooden crosses in the parks and courtyards commemorated thousands of Mokotów residents who had perished.
