The Warsaw Bridgehead (German: Brückenkopf Warschau; Polish: Przedmoście Warszawskie or Przedmoście Warszawa) is a line of fortifications east of Warsaw, stretching from the Rynia on the Narew River, running through Struga, Zielonka, Stara Miłosna, Wiązowna and Józefów, and ending at the Vistula River. It was first begun in 1915 and was rebuilt many times up until 1944. Most of it has been destroyed, though a few of its forts remain partially buried.
