Yes, and on the third pic one of the soldiers is playing "*Hejnal Mariacki".

And here a pic of Piedimonte after capture. Soldiers hoisted a banner of the 6th "Children of Lwow" Armored Regiment.



(*Hejnal Mariacki:
Krakow Hourly Trumpet Signal
Every full hour a golden trumpet shows above Krakow’s central Grand Square in the west window just below the spire of the higher, municipal tower of the Basilica of the Virgin Mary's. Then a characteristic trumpet signal, known and dear to every Pole, resounds all over the city’s Old Town historical district. All of a sudden the melody comes to an abrupt end. Next it is played towards the east, the south and the north. At noon the whole ritual is broadcast by the Polish radio. The Krakow signal, or Hejnal Mariacki, dates back to the Middle Ages when it was announcing the opening and the closing of the city gates. The bugler also played it to alarm his fellow citizens whenever he saw a fire or the enemy forces. And the melody abrupt ending is said to commemorate a bugler shot through his throat by a Tatar archer in 1241.)

Wojtix,
If the Guinness Book of Records says Mary Anderson invented the windscreen wiper in 1903, then she did-trust me.
If someone can give you an actual date earlier than 1903 for Hofman supposedly inventing them first, good. So far, there seems to be a distinct lack of proof of that!
