History[]

Graves of the fallen Polish defenders of the village from September 1939

Wyszanów was a royal village of the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Wieluń County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.

During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, in September 1939, the Germans deliberately threw a grenade into a basement where women and children were hiding, thus killing 16 people, including 11 children (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).[2]
