On top of that, the USSR NEEDED to consolidate after all those advances. yes, there was a political component to Moscow's refusal to support them, but Soviet High Command could also argue that the troops were too exhausted and supply lines too stretched to support the uprising.

I remember hearing that there was an incredible partisan with his team in Poland. This partisan was handed over to Zoska. He is the buff leader of the partisan team. This team tried to resist the Nazis at the time when Poland was occupied by Germany. This Zoska partisan and his team became known throughout Poland. Unfortunately, they failed to liberate the city. Unfortunately, they were still killed. However, despite this, they became known throughout the country. Even now you can hear about Zoska and his partisan team.
actually, he is also one of the main characters in polish middle-school set book "Stones for the Rampart". It describe Zośka's and his 2 friends: Rudy and Alek work in the Polish Underground. Jan (Rudy) was captured by the nazis and interrogated using torture but he stayed loyal to Poland even if it meant that he was going to die. His friends wanted to get him back and that's how on the 26 of March 1943, 5.30 pm the "Operetion Arsenal" begun. They successfully released Bytnar (Rudy) from the hands of SS-man (nazis). Sadly, Rudy's wounds were too deep and they couldn't save him + Dawidowski (Alek) has been shot and also died 4 days later (the same day as Jan). Tadeusz (Zośka) had a hard time to adapt to his best friends death but he still decided to help Poland become independ from anyone again. Zawadzki (Zośka) died a year later (08.20.1943) in an attack on the watchtower of Grenzschutzpolizei. I really recommend this book to anyone who is intrested about wwII. There is also a movie adaptation but there is a lot of fictional situations while the book is pure non-fiction (the author used Zośka's diary, people statements and the information he knew himself as he was actually acquainted with the main characters).

I live in the former Jewish district of Warsaw which was entirely destroyed during the war It's really depressing that this city will never be the same. It sucks to see last pre-war buildings being demolished, it's heartbreaking to know that there are almost no native Varsovians remaining on our side of the river... I'm a big fan of polish culture, old architecture and all pre-war Varsovian folklore stuff and it's just really sad that my city has been so heavily harmed by the war and that I've been raised here without truly experiencing that old Varsovian vibe "Ojczyzna bez żołnierza to jak bez miecza kat..."

Mr. Spherical! I absolutely cannot agree with what you have shown in this video. It is completely incomprehensible to me how history can be distorted in such a way. Now let me tell you what really happened. First of all, in 1944 there were 2 organizations claiming power in liberated Poland: the Polish Government in Exile, which was located in London at that time, and the Polish Committee for National Liberation, created by the USSR. Each organization had its own secret organs in occupied Poland. At the same time, the Government in Exile has had almost no diplomatic relations with the USSR since 1939. It was the Government that planned the uprising in Poland. The goals of this uprising were quite anti-communist: it was supposed to capture Warsaw at least 12 hours before the arrival of the Red Army, proclaim the political and administrative authority of the organization of the Polish emigrant government, thereby forcing the USSR to indirectly recognize it. Coordination with the advancing Soviet units was not provided for in the plan. The leadership of the Home Army (the structure of the Government in Exile) had no plans to help the Red Army in crossing the Vistula and liberating Warsaw. The command of the Red Army, the Supreme Command of the Polish Army (the structure of the Polish Committee), Polish leftist organizations operating in the Warsaw underground did not receive any official information about the preparation and date of the uprising led by the Home Army. The uprising, it can be said, failed on the very first day, as the Germans were warned about the date and time of its beginning and were able to strengthen their positions in the city. The rebels had to fight in a residential part of the city, without artillery, tanks, aviation, etc. At the same time, the Western allies were afraid to help the Poles in the uprising: Europe had already been divided into spheres of influence during the Tehran Conference (1943), it was not planned to return the old government to Poland. As for the USSR, for a future offensive against Germany, it was necessary to ensure a safe rear in Poland. At the same time, the government with anti-communist policies and territorial claims to the Soviet Union tried to seize power in it, so the Red Army did not seek to help the rebels in the first place. The Prime Minister of the Government in Exile met with Joseph Stalin after the outbreak of the uprising. The Western Allies advised to start negotiations on the Soviet-Polish war and unification with the Polish Committee into a single authority (the USSR was ready for this), but the minister showed geopolitical shortsightedness and refused these proposals. Stalin initially did not believe in the success of the uprising, he considered it "an unrealistic task, since the rebels do not have weapons, while the Germans have three tank divisions only in the Prague area, not counting infantry." As a result, all attempts by Polish London circles to share responsibility for the situation with the USSR, and even more so to shift the burden of solving the conflict with reality that arose on the USSR, in which they got bogged down, turned out to be completely fruitless. On November 15, 1944, at a meeting with the Polish delegation, Stalin said: "If we had been asked, we would not have given advice to rebel." He explained the delay of the Soviet troops near Warsaw by the presence of the high left bank of the Vistula and the need to pull up at least 40 divisions, weapons and food. In the end, I want to apologize for all possible errors in the text, because I used a translator for such a huge text. I hope I have fully explained my position, and the mistakes made in this video will be corrected soon!
Thank you for this lesson in history, ultra nationalist poles and the west have tried to rewrite this chapter of WW2 for ideological reasons, the evil reds betrayed and left poles to themselves which is laughable and not the actual truth.

After nearly 80 years there's still debate in Poland if this uprising had sense or not but what is undebateable is memory and respect for people from warsaw and famous polish actor Bogusław Linda said some wise words about this uprising
I don't think its a matter of sens. The Poles hoped for support from the Soviets, but that never happened. America and the UK did help, but it was incredibly hars for them, because they had to fly over all of Germanys controlled areas, which was dangerous. If were going to talk about the sens of Polish people defending, then might as well talk about the sens of the entire war.
Have you ever thought that the Soviet lines of snobbery have really become very strained? They had already made the same mistake during the Soviet-Polish war (where the Poles were aggressors and occupiers). It was because of the deterioration of supplies that the "Miracle on the Vistula" took place.
"Miracle on the Vistula" is a term created by the political opponents of Marshal Piłsudski. The point is that it's more of a miracle than his doing. We can debate which general came up with the idea of attacking from the Wieprz River, but this maneuver was decisive in defending Warsaw and stopping the red plague :)
@@Red_Justice Yes, communism is a plauge. My country and the whole of Eastern Europe suffered because of it. Citizens of the USSR also, but not in russian propaganda.
To be fair to Soviet Union, the failure to support the Warsaw uprising was also due to military prudence: She needed to consolidate after all those advances. Even with Germany in tatters, the allies were always going to need to consolidate or they would have taken some easily avoidable Ls.
I guess because the creators want to portray Russia as a big jerk who only cares about himself. Still, I imagine the scene you mentioned going like this..... Soviet Union: /to Poland/ Could you let me through so I can provide aid to Czechoslovakia to prevent the Nazis from taking him over? Poland: No you droopy necked warmonger! You just want to spread Communism into the rest of Europe! Soviet Union: But if the Nazis take Czechoslovakia, they'll go for you next so it's in your best interest to let me get access to Czechoslovakia to keep the Nazis in check..... Poland: The answer is still no!! Soviet Union: /shrugs/ So be it but don't say I didn't warn you..... /later/ Poland: /getting invaded by Germany while the Soviets take back lands Poland took from them after WW1/ Russia! You backstabbing weasel! Soviet Union: Well, I warned you this would happen but you didn't listen to me.... Poland: /surprised Pikachu face/
1. It was before war with Germany 2. Governmants of Poland and Czechoslovakia were enemies due to the Czechoslovak occupation of Zaolzie during the Polish-Soviet War. 3. Stalin didn't really care because he later found a better ally against Poland (Germany)
Yes, and Poles, Jews and other peoples suffered from the Nazis. But after all, the peoples of the USSR also had a hard time. More than 30,000,000 million inhabitants of the USSR died from the Reich.😢😭💔
I see people cursing Soviets to not to help the poles in the Uprising,here are the reasons why they didn't helped the poles: 1-Due to Operation Bagration,soviets had overstretched their supply lines badly and their repair factory for tanks were 100km away(the nearest) 2-Soviets if crossed the vistula river,they could have been enveloped by the Germans easily same like the Polish soviets war 3-Soviets already had suffered 1 million casualties during Operation Bagration and had to wait for reinforcements to arrive 4-Polish rebels were anti communist and obviously due to political interests the soviets wouldn't had helped them but soviets did allowed Poles to fight with them against Germany and allowed them in Victory Parade too
The Warsaw Uprising ended on October 2, 1944. The Red Army took/liberated/occupied Warsaw on January 17, 1945(operation began on January 12th). That is, 102 days passed between the complete defeat of the uprising and the beginning of the offensive of the Red Army. I can assume that there was another reason (for example, the army of Third Reich) why the USSR did not conduct an offensive during the Warsaw Uprising. "Betrayal" is a myth. P.S. The comment was written when the video was called "the most shocking betrayal of WW2”
but is it a myth that the soviet just waited on the other side of the vistule will the uprising was going and had taken the city when the uprising had stopped ?
I would like to remind you that the Red Army was in Warsaw (Parts of Warsaw: Prague north) and there they established a unit of the Polish United Workers' Party (communists of Moscow subordinated to Moscow and helping Joseph Stalin to have power in the Polish state)
0:00 Nazis have taken control 0:10 Soviet Propaganda 0:58 Polish Surprise uprising 1:57 Ways to support Mrspherical 3:28 Stalin Arrives 4:07 Poland breaks into government building 5:04 Call a friend! 6:51 The allies Finally arrive 8:27 Poland Surrenders 9:02 Stalins Tank Shining 9:28 Polish sent to the camps 9:59 Outro
I'm so happy that so many people in the comments understand that the USSR did not help the Polish rebels for two LOGICAL reasons: 1. Too extended supply lines, which, by the way, were the reason for the defeat of the Red Army in the Polish-Soviet war. 2. The anti-Soviet position of the rebels themselves. The uprising only happened to stop the Soviets from taking the city, so it is foolish to help your enemy.
Am i the Only one seeing the the Polish Flag is Upside down at 4:15 you can see it when the Other Poland Bois Arrive so either thats a Indonesia Ball or Mr Spherical made a Mistake which is Impossible so i think he did it on Purpose
1. Soviets did not help because they wanted to reorganize and for Poles to bleed out with germans 2. UK did not send any help 3. A lot of Poles died, horrifying experiments were made, overall brutal things that you did not show
As italian I appreciate how we are the ones that bring the comedy in the war as it is so realistic. Reading now the letters and the speech of mussolini is a helluva fun.
Polish units from the Soviet army took the initiative to assist the polish rebels but it led to a tragic defeat since no further support came from the soviets
The description in pateron said this was good to release Friday (yesterday) but oversimplified posted their second punic war part 1 and 2 yesterday so I guess it's ok Btw people this episode is amazing. Poland is awesome in this episode
I love the speech bubble in the top right corner that tells the viewer why the Poland Countryball is flipped it reminds me of the armchair historian’s “lil grif”
The video is interesting but completely contradicts the history: -The rebels rose due to the order from the London Polish government in exile - soviets didn't encourage the London-controlled rebels nor had any influence on them; The idea that the powerful Kraiowa army resistance would obey Moscow instead of their own London government is kind of offence to this well-organized group Moscow was informed about the uprise only... in the moment of the uprise - when almost all of the soviet reserves were already concentrated on Balkans liberating Romania (Bucharest was liberated on 30th of august) and Yugoslavia (Belgrad was liberated on 28th of september) -London Polish government needed to score some points, as the Moscow-controlled communist rebels achieved more popularity among the Polish and had more chances in the post-war elections; so the troops of London government didn't even try to take the bridges over Vistula to cooperate with the soviets - they feared Moscow could steal some popularity points by participating in Warsaw liberation. This egoism of the government costed to much to its followers and common citizens of Warsaw - why is the author silencing it? -The London Polish government rebels thought that Germany has in fact fallen after the Bagration operation and the uprising will be an easy walk - of course that was terrible mistake, why is the author silencing it? -Since the beginning of the uprise, despite being unprepared and with no reserves, the soviets were continuously trying to advance to Warsaw - the battles of Radzymin and Magnuszewski costed the USSR and polish communists thousands of lifes. I suppose Mr Spherical should at least explain himself why he lies denying all these enormous efforts and sacrifices. The efforts even let the soviets reach the eastern bank of Warsaw on 15th september - and find that the bridges are under complete german control
“This enraged the Allies, who punished the Axis severely.” Oversimplified Winston Churchill: I was saving the planet from an Axis of Darkness, while you were back home opening National Parks! Yes!
Little did they know the Germans would use every thing they had to destroy the city and use 3 of their biggest guns the stürm tiger, Karl and the Gustave gun
3:53 Stalin learned his mistake during soviet-polish war, during which red army walked into warsaw as into a trap and got encircled. So he didn't risk it. Soviet-polish war was started by Poland and after the peace Poland occupies western Belarus and Ukraine.

They had already made the same mistake during the Soviet-Polish war (where the Poles were aggressors and occupiers).
It was because of the deterioration of supplies that the "Miracle on the Vistula" took place.
"Miracle on the Vistula" is a term created by the political opponents of Marshal Piłsudski. The point is that it's more of a miracle than his doing. We can debate which general came up with the idea of attacking from the Wieprz River, but this maneuver was decisive in defending Warsaw and stopping the red plague :)
@@PanAugusto83 "Red plague".If economic equality is a plague to you, then I feel incredibly sorry for you.
@@Red_Justice Yes, communism is a plauge. My country and the whole of Eastern Europe suffered because of it. Citizens of the USSR also, but not in russian propaganda.
@@PanAugusto83capitalist is OK? Do u know what is that? 😂😂😂
@@goodluckkk28 Yeah I know what is that and I know it's better than communism
Niech żyje Polska!
DOKŁADNIE!
Polish kids again
@@Figameno You have problem with that?
Niech żyje Polska!!!!
@@Figameno what's wrong?
To be fair to Soviet Union, the failure to support the Warsaw uprising was also due to military prudence: She needed to consolidate after all those advances. Even with Germany in tatters, the allies were always going to need to consolidate or they would have taken some easily avoidable Ls.
Why didn't they show how Poland didn't let Soviet troops into Czechoslovakia to defend against Germany?
I guess because the creators want to portray Russia as a big jerk who only cares about himself. Still, I imagine the scene you mentioned going like this.....
Soviet Union: /to Poland/ Could you let me through so I can provide aid to Czechoslovakia to prevent the Nazis from taking him over?
Poland: No you droopy necked warmonger! You just want to spread Communism into the rest of Europe!
Soviet Union: But if the Nazis take Czechoslovakia, they'll go for you next so it's in your best interest to let me get access to Czechoslovakia to keep the Nazis in check.....
Poland: The answer is still no!!
Soviet Union: /shrugs/ So be it but don't say I didn't warn you.....
/later/
Poland: /getting invaded by Germany while the Soviets take back lands Poland took from them after WW1/ Russia! You backstabbing weasel!
Soviet Union: Well, I warned you this would happen but you didn't listen to me....
Poland: /surprised Pikachu face/
1. It was before war with Germany
2. Governmants of Poland and Czechoslovakia were enemies due to the Czechoslovak occupation of Zaolzie during the Polish-Soviet War.
3. Stalin didn't really care because he later found a better ally against Poland (Germany)

Yes, and Poles, Jews and other peoples suffered from the Nazis. But after all, the peoples of the USSR also had a hard time. More than 30,000,000 million inhabitants of the USSR died from the Reich.😢😭💔
27 millions. This is more correct.
Yes but 70% of them are killed on stalin orders
Soviets been that same brutal like Nazits they killed many civilians and destroy mamy homes in my opinion Soviets been that same like Nazits
And Leinengrad and stalingrad were the deadliest battles of the whole war
But more died due to absurdities of communism
I see people cursing Soviets to not to help the poles in the Uprising,here are the reasons why they didn't helped the poles:
1-Due to Operation Bagration,soviets had overstretched their supply lines badly and their repair factory for tanks were 100km away(the nearest)
2-Soviets if crossed the vistula river,they could have been enveloped by the Germans easily same like the Polish soviets war
3-Soviets already had suffered 1 million casualties during Operation Bagration and had to wait for reinforcements to arrive
4-Polish rebels were anti communist and obviously due to political interests the soviets wouldn't had helped them but soviets did allowed Poles to fight with them against Germany and allowed them in Victory Parade too
But washed by propaganda people don't understand you.They think USA is angel, USSR is devil.
Thanks for the explanation
@@daniilgrib mention not
the Russians were on the other side of the Vistula
@@pimpeko that's what I mentioned comrade
I'm so happy that Mr Spherical actually posted after awhile
The Warsaw Uprising ended on October 2, 1944. The Red Army took/liberated/occupied Warsaw on January 17, 1945(operation began on January 12th). That is, 102 days passed between the complete defeat of the uprising and the beginning of the offensive of the Red Army. I can assume that there was another reason (for example, the army of Third Reich) why the USSR did not conduct an offensive during the Warsaw Uprising. "Betrayal" is a myth.
P.S. The comment was written when the video was called "the most shocking betrayal of WW2”
USSR stopped because he knew he is going to make puppet from poland and he wanted to the most of polish patriots die
but is it a myth that the soviet just waited on the other side of the vistule will the uprising was going and had taken the city when the uprising had stopped ?
NO SPOILERS
No its true @@Brochten
Gosh, how much I love people's who really study history
Actually the biggest betrayal was letting Poland be invaded in the first place.
I would like to remind you that the Red Army was in Warsaw (Parts of Warsaw: Prague north) and there they established a unit of the Polish United Workers' Party (communists of Moscow subordinated to Moscow and helping Joseph Stalin to have power in the Polish state)

I'm so happy that so many people in the comments understand that the USSR did not help the Polish rebels for two LOGICAL reasons:
1. Too extended supply lines, which, by the way, were the reason for the defeat of the Red Army in the Polish-Soviet war.
2. The anti-Soviet position of the rebels themselves. The uprising only happened to stop the Soviets from taking the city, so it is foolish to help your enemy.
Yes
If the Soviets had helped poland the story would have been something else.
Am i the Only one seeing the the Polish Flag is Upside down at 4:15 you can see it when the Other Poland Bois Arrive so either thats a Indonesia Ball or Mr Spherical made a Mistake which is Impossible so i think he did it on Purpose
He thought i would Notsee it ;)
Those are the rules in the Country Ball Universe, look it up. Poland is upsite down cause it doesn't do anything right
1. Soviets did not help because they wanted to reorganize and for Poles to bleed out with germans
2. UK did not send any help
3. A lot of Poles died, horrifying experiments were made, overall brutal things that you did not show
Love to Poland from Spain ❤❤❤
That one guy is isn't polish 💀
Polska Rules! Freedom for Polska! And remember Guys: Polska will always come back! I ❤ Polska with all my Heart! 🇨🇭🤝🇵🇱
The animation in this episode is crazy! I would rather wait for high quality episodes like these. Nice work
Im from Poland 🇵🇱🇵🇱
As italian I appreciate how we are the ones that bring the comedy in the war as it is so realistic. Reading now the letters and the speech of mussolini is a helluva fun.

Sick! Can’t wait my spherical guy!
Polish units from the Soviet army took the initiative to assist the polish rebels but it led to a tragic defeat since no further support came from the soviets
Bro that is the wrong way to [draw or make] Poland it’s supposed to be up-side-down

The description in pateron said this was good to release Friday (yesterday) but oversimplified posted their second punic war part 1 and 2 yesterday so I guess it's ok
Btw people this episode is amazing. Poland is awesome in this episode
I love the speech bubble in the top right corner that tells the viewer why the Poland Countryball is flipped it reminds me of the armchair historian’s “lil grif”
7:10 is that a modern cargo aircraft in ww2? And is Poland ball not polish here?
0:47 that big guy is Indonesia 😂
7:02 WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, CAPITALIST BRAGGART!?
sad how to Soviets just saw everyone in warsaw being murdered and they did nothing
The video is interesting but completely contradicts the history:
-The rebels rose due to the order from the London Polish government in exile - soviets didn't encourage the London-controlled rebels nor had any influence on them; The idea that the powerful Kraiowa army resistance would obey Moscow instead of their own London government is kind of offence to this well-organized group
Moscow was informed about the uprise only... in the moment of the uprise - when almost all of the soviet reserves were already concentrated on Balkans liberating Romania (Bucharest was liberated on 30th of august) and Yugoslavia (Belgrad was liberated on 28th of september)
-London Polish government needed to score some points, as the Moscow-controlled communist rebels achieved more popularity among the Polish and had more chances in the post-war elections; so the troops of London government didn't even try to take the bridges over Vistula to cooperate with the soviets - they feared Moscow could steal some popularity points by participating in Warsaw liberation. This egoism of the government costed to much to its followers and common citizens of Warsaw - why is the author silencing it?
-The London Polish government rebels thought that Germany has in fact fallen after the Bagration operation and the uprising will be an easy walk - of course that was terrible mistake, why is the author silencing it?
-Since the beginning of the uprise, despite being unprepared and with no reserves, the soviets were continuously trying to advance to Warsaw - the battles of Radzymin and Magnuszewski costed the USSR and polish communists thousands of lifes. I suppose Mr Spherical should at least explain himself why he lies denying all these enormous efforts and sacrifices. The efforts even let the soviets reach the eastern bank of Warsaw on 15th september - and find that the bridges are under complete german control
I once met a guy his dad was in the polish underground army

“This enraged the Allies, who punished the Axis severely.” Oversimplified

Why is Poland upside down the entire video. Also love the vid
It is an honor to put sensitive political matters in your videos, such as America's movement with the Republic of Libya and the September 11 attack
Respect to All Polish people that fought for their country

Little did they know the Germans would use every thing they had to destroy the city and use 3 of their biggest guns the stürm tiger, Karl and the Gustave gun
7:22 yay Italy is here
is that your country Italy 🇮🇹

3:53 Stalin learned his mistake during soviet-polish war, during which red army walked into warsaw as into a trap and got encircled. So he didn't risk it. Soviet-polish war was started by Poland and after the peace Poland occupies western Belarus and Ukraine.
