A short film about the Warsaw Uprising which started on August 1, 1944 in Warsaw, Poland against the Germans. From the start of the uprising, the initial success, and the eventual downfall and destruction of the capital after 63 days of fighting.
Wow, I actually had never heard of this. What a huge piece of your history this must be and what an impact it must have had.
ReplyDeleteJackie, for Warsaw people the most difficult
DeleteWar is always about lives being sacrificed and lost fighting for either side. If only we do not need wars. Thanks for sharing. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWarsaw Uprising is very difficult subjecta nd the historians opinions are varied
DeleteA terrible episode of war. The people of Warsaw were very brave.
ReplyDeleteI have read the whole historical account and the trial of SS Gruppenfuhrer
Jurgen Stroop. Thank God he was tried and hung. He worse still showed
no remorse.
Anyone Gosia who hasn't heard of this episode - words fail me.
Sincerely
Colin
Colin definitely it is a part of history which should be remember forever..
DeleteA dreadful time it was back then. My girlfriends father was killed during that time...
ReplyDeleteA lot of children last their relatives there
DeleteThank you for posting this. Breaks my heart
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome
DeleteI have read a lot about the Warsaw Uprising and the Polish underground. They were an amazing organization. It is so sad how the Russians waited till the Germans defeated the uprising before coming to "help."
ReplyDeleteThanks Bethany. You finished off the historical part. The then Soviets didn't come to help - they came to take over until a certain fellow in a shipyard,
Deletea Polish Pope and an at last benign Soviet Leader pulled down walls
and let people free. The Iron Curtain came tumbling down eventually.

Colin thanks for expressing your true opinion . Exactly my opinion is the same...Love from Poland
