Cześć i chwała Bohaterom!
And the soviet troops on the border of Warsaw just waited for the Germans to crush the rebellion bevor they moved in.
Only 1 in 10 Soldiers had a Weapon.
: Poles:
180,000 civilians killed 18,000 insurgents (Home Army soldiers) killed 25,000 insurgents wounded 2,300 soldiers of the 1st Polish Army under General Zygmunt Berling killed or missing
Germans:
1,600 soldiers killed 7,500 soldiers wounded
Glory to the brave who lost their lives in the battle against the Nazis and fascism. Never forgotten 🫡

Worth a listen
We’re in eternal debt to all the heroes and martyrs who killed nazis making Europe a better place
One of the most mind-blowing facts about it, for me, was always that the Hungarian forces tasked with blockading the city (so that other Home Army units couldn’t reach it in support), not only supplied those units, instead of intercepting them, but some Hungarians even joined in, and took part on Poles’ side. After the uprising, they were mercilessly hunted by the Germans. When the Hungarian commander was asked about why did he do it, by the German regional commander, who sent him the order to intercept Home Army units, he simply responded: “Hungary is not at war with Poland.”
Warsaw, city at war
Voices from underground. Whispers of freedom
Long live to these men, women and children who have risen up against the nazis.
remember soviet troops liberated europe, and that poland was fascist before the soviet union civlized it
They were just terrorists who wanted to kill all the Germans!!1! /s
Warsaw was the most destroyed city in human history, not once but twice in the war, 85% of Warsaw was destroyed, more than even Stalingrad infrastructure wise, and the civilian casualties were over 50% of the prewar population, absolutely insane when you read about this shit, I feel like edgy neo-nazi kids online these days have no clue on the level of atrocities they inflicted on even people that these days they’d consider very much “white”, RIP to the heroes of the uprising, its amazing how far Warsaw has come today from what was
I can’t imagine how heartbreaking this must have been for the Polish Free Forces in the west who had to sit by and watch this happen without being able to help. Especially the airborne chaps.
I will copy another comment: Little known outside of Poland, that these people were not celebrated as heroes when the war was over. To the contrary:

Glory to the fighting people of Warsaw.
Eternal shame on the local commanders of the Home Army who caused the deaths of 200,000 people, the destruction of the city, and gained nothing in return.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marek_Edelman
> Marek Edelman (Yiddish: מאַרעק עדעלמאַן; 1919 or 1922 – October 2, 2009) was a Polish Jewish political and social activist and cardiologist. Edelman was the last surviving leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Quite a paralel with the situation in Gaza. Desperate act of resistance that ended up with the entire city getting destroyed and hundreds of thousands of civilians dying.
Chwała bohaterom! GLORY TO THE HEROES!
Glory to all our past heroes who lost their lives fighting the Nazis and the Commies in our struggle for freedom!
