In August 1944, Studzianki became a key position in the battle to hold the Warka-Magnuszew bridgehead, named the Battle of Studzianki. On August 1, 1944, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front of the Soviet Army forced the Vistula from Mniszew to Ryczywół. On August 3, soldiers of the 4th Guards Corps (101st Regiment of the 35th Guards Division) captured Studzianki and approached Głowaczów. The Germans dropped the Armored Division "Herman Göring" from Wołomin. The tanks of the 1st Armored Brigade appeared on the battlefield on August 9, and on August 11 heavy fighting took place, during which Studzianki was finally captured. On August 14, the German forces were encircled, and a day later they were finally defeated.
It was the biggest battle fought by Polish tankers on the Eastern Front.

In 1964 (on the 20th anniversary of the Battle of Studzianki), a monument-mausoleum designed by architect Narcyz Szwejdziński in cooperation with Włodzimierz Skolimowski was unveiled on the outskirts of the village. The main accent is the T-34 tank No. 217 placed on a high pedestal - the first Polish tank that entered the village during the battle.
On the semi-circular wall there are plaques with the names of the fallen soldiers of the Brigade.
The village of Studzianki (approx. 200 inhabitants) is located among the forests of the Stromiecka Forest, approx. 14 km to the south-east. from Warka.
