The symbolic obelisk of the Gray Ranks - a sandstone obelisk with the Cross of Valor engraved.
An inscription is carved in the sandstone stating that 12 members of the Gray Ranks were shot at this place. However, this is not consistent with reality.
The story was as follows: the legend tells about scouts who came to the Chojnów Forests for training, where they were captured by the German gendarmerie and shot. Meanwhile, in February 1990, the Historical Commission of the Gray Ranks Association received a "personal survey of a member of the scout conspiracy 1939-1945", submitted by Wiesław Cwil pseudonym. "Mieczek", which shows that a team of twelve scouts, commanded by Ryszard Choiński, took a narrow-gauge train from the Southern Railway Station towards Góra Kalwaria on September 18, 1943. The scouts got off at the station in Chojnów. They went to the store and then headed towards Orzeszyn to find a place to sleep in a barn.
At night, the barn was surrounded by German military police. The search revealed that the only evidence against them was a pre-war Polish military map, the so-called "hundred". The scouts were loaded into a truck and taken to Góra Kalwaria. The interrogation began there at the police station. The team leader who found the map was subjected to the most severe investigation; he was hung upside down by his legs and beaten all over his body. The others were also beaten to force them to admit that they belonged to the Polish underground. The boys had an excuse that they knew each other from school and the street, and that they had come to the forest to pick mushrooms. They had a map with them just so they wouldn't get lost. Despite brutal interrogations, the boys did not confess to anything.
On the morning of September 20, the scouts were loaded onto a truck that set off towards Warsaw. In Chojnów, the truck turned into the forest and headed towards Zalesie Górne. She passed the forester's lodge and took the Warecki Route towards Zimne Doły. After driving about 250 meters, the boys were thrown out of the car. Near an old trench from World War I, they were ordered to dig a hole. The gendarmes then lined up the scouts on the edge of the pit and fired a volley over their heads. They were loaded into the truck again and taken to the Gestapo headquarters in Aleja Szucha. After further interrogations at Pawiak, two weeks after their arrest, a group of 805 men were sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. In November 1940, most of them were transferred to the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, where in May 1945 they were liberated by American troops. Only after many years did some of the survivors return to Poland. However, after the shots were fired, local foresters concluded that the shot people were buried in the covered ground.
