This is my reaction to Brutal Facts About the Warsaw Uprising (Polish History)
In this video I react to the history of Poland by looking at facts about the Warsaw Uprising.
Original Video - • Brutal Facts About the...
![[Poland] The Polish-Soviet War](/img/n.gif)
My grandfather survived concentration camp. He almost never spoke about his experience after when I was young, but those he did share will forever give me chills when I remember them.
The same my grandpa. Based on his experience from Dachau, he never threw bread away and learned us to not do it also.
My grandfather was sent to labour camp in Germany. He cooked egg in the same water all the time.
what wasnt mentioned in the video was the way Germans defended their tanks during the uprising. not only were they defending against the Grey Ranks, which were boy scouts, but they used Polish women and children as human shields for their tanks.
The most horrible genocide - the greatest individual massacre of civilians committed in Europe during the WW II - was so-called the Wola Massacre (Wola is one of the districts of Warsaw), where just in few days, between 5-7 August 1944 about 50-65 000 civilians, including women, children, even infants, elders, also patients of three hospitals together with the medical staff, were murdered by Germans, one by one. There were big piles of bodies of the victims at yards of the houses. These crimes against humanity were committed by German troops under command of SS Gruppenführer Heinz Reinefarth - after the war this criminal however has never been punished, by anyone. Although he was directly responsible for slaughtering in the most inhuman way of so many thousands of civil people in Warsaw. After the war he lived peacefully, not disturbed by anyone, he was even a respected German politician and for long years a mayor of one of the German towns (Westerland on the German island Sylt). All requests of Poland for extradiction have been rejected by Germans. He died in 1979. There were more examples like this (also many of the crew of the German death concentration camps have not been punished at all).
The popular numbers of 50-65000 victims of the Wola Massacre is exaggerated. Even preliminary analyses of the situation and context of this tragic event, render those numbers highly improbable.
@@benwars9524I've read according to the Chief Commission for Investigation of German Crimes in Poland it was actually around 50 000 of victims. Of course, all the data are estimated, because for sure it was not always sure if someone died there or in another place in Warsaw (it's also said that in the whole uprising around 200 000 civilians were killed).
@@MayaTheDecemberGirl The estimates of Polish human losses announced by that Commission shortly after the war are not credible. They were routinely maximised for political reasons. Many of them have already been rectified (sometimes quite dramatically) in line with contemporary serious research. For example, the number of Auschwitz mortal victims used to be promoted at 4 million, now it's officially 1.5 million (I've heard that this is roughly what the Auschwitz commander, Rudolf Hoess stated during his post-war trial). About Warsaw: considering the actual massacres perpetrated during the Uprising, the German real military human resources and firepower, bombing and shelling, and the Nazi general policies towards Warsaw, it would have been impossible to kill 200 thousand Poles during the Uprising. Take note that the Warsaw Uprising Museum analysts have already reduced that number to about 150 thousand. IMO that's still exaggerated.
@@benwars9524 I'm not a historian, so I cannot say for sure what the exact numbers were. I know that there are some differences in the estimations, some historians say it was more, some that it was less. I can only give numbers that are repeated in more sources. But it in fact, it doesn't matter if it was a two, three or five etc. thousands more or less - because the fact it was an enormous, unimaginable, inhuman crime against humanity, commited in the most bestial way. And every single life of an innocent person murdered then was a crime. By the way, the numbers given by a criminal in a trial going to be sentenced to capital punishment are also usually not very credible.
@@MayaTheDecemberGirl 80-90 thousand casualties (the most probable numbers) against 200 thousand - in Warsaw alone (a city of ca 1 million at the time), apparently makes no difference to you. To me it does. Btw, about Hoess - he knew he would be hanged regardless of whether they proved him responsible for the deaths of 1, or 2, or 3 or 4 million people. Hence the question arises, what particular interest did he have in lying about this? Anyway, once again - regardless of his testimony, several years ago the number of Auschwitz victims was officially reduced by over 60%, triggering doubts on whether other postwar politically motivated statistics should be taken for granted.
In the Warsaw Uprising there were fighting not only men, but a lot of women as well (I've read that about 5 000 were active soldiers, but about 20 000 women were helping, serving as liasons, nurses etc.). Also young teenagers, and even children. The youngest participant of the Warsaw Uprising, who was killed in September 1944, was 11 years old Witold Modelski (he served as a liason).
Very good video. Haven't seen this one yet. What it doesn't say thou is, that during the Uprising envoys were sent to soviets to ask for help. But the Home Army was considered "politicly incorrect" by Stalin ( they weren't communist), so they were disarmed, imprisoned and then or executed or sent to gulags in Siberia.
Also, after capitulation Nazis sent civilians to labor camps, but members of the Home Army were taken to intermidian camp in Pruszków ( close to Warsaw) and then send of to concentration camps. My Aunt was in Ravensbrück. She survived, but according to my mom, she was never the same afterwards. She led "normal" life, but never started her own family.
Thank you for this reaction. It's important to NEVER FORGET.
Greetings from Warsaw 🎶🇵🇱
FACTS:
1) after Ghetto Uprising Nazis burned this quarter of the city to the ground
2) except bombing Warsaw, at the end of Uprising, Nazis also went from building to building, and using flamethrowers burned as much as they could
Warsaw on the whole was destroyed in 86%, but some parts of the city, like the Old Town were completely leveled.
Hitler not only wanted to destroy the City, he wanted to destroy our culture. He didn't succeed, thankfully.
Tell me, why the leaders of the Uprising did not attempt to contact the Red Army BEFORE the Uprising?
The Germans sent only some of the inhabitants of Warsaw (civilians) to concentration camps - it was a real lottery. some were deported to other cities, others- to Auschwitz or to concentration camps in Germany. Most of the civilian population of Warsaw (those who survived) suffered such a fate: the Germans locked these people in the Puszków camp near Warsaw, where the inhabitants of Warsaw were starving and suffering from diseases, and then, during severe frosts in November and December 1944, they put them on trains and dispersed them all over the country, throwing them out at various stations, especially on the Warsaw-Kraków route. They turned the inhabitants of Warsaw into sickened vagabonds looking for help and freezing in the streets. Most of them received more or less (most often less) help from their compatriots, although there was no shortage of malicious joy that such a fate befell the inhabitants of the fancy capital city. People from Krakow and southern Poland showed especially much joy.
@@alh6255 my aunt was in Home Army
@@benwars9524 Leaders of Home Army didn't attempt to contact the Red Army before the Uprising due to various reasons. First of all it was total lack of trust. They knew very well what happened in Wilno ( now Vilnius ) previously, which was liberated almost exclusively by Home Army. Arrests and executions followed. Almost exactly same thing happened in Lwow. There were many visits by Polish prime minister Mikolajczyk from Polish government in London just before outbreak of Uprising and during its first phase. Stalin was promising some help only under condition his puppet communist Polish Lublin government will be recognised by Polish officials from London. Every visit he was becoming more aggresive and even called Home Army bandits much worse than Nazis.
However in September 1944 during final stages of the Uprising, Home Army command made contact with marshal Rokossowski, commander of 1st Belarussian Front, asking for help.
We were the fourth force in the anti-Hitler coalition after the USA, the Soviet Union and Great Britain. We had a larger army than de Gaulle's French. We never collaborated with Hitler. After the victory, we were not invited to the victory parade. 😐
You were nothing.You lost in 1939 and 1945.And you will loose soon too.
Dokładnie. Nie mam szacunku dla naszych „aliantów”. Ale my wiemy jak było naprawdę i jak się spisali nasi wspaniali, dzielni chłopcy. Byłem na Monte Cassino. Odwaga naszych żołnierzy przechodzi ludzkie pojęcie. Bardzo polecam.
Greetings from Poland! Hey!
Thank you for learning the truth.
Szkoda że mało jest takich ludzi jak on.
I recommend watching "Warszawa 1927 w kolorze". Completely new material. I thought I had seen everything from pre-war Warsaw, but here is such a gem. Everything we see in the film has been gone for a long time. And post-war Warsaw is a completely different city.
ua-cam.com/video/-isJ4yp-feY/v-deo.html
About additional facts not mentioned in the video - The mentioned Goliath, so here's another fact:
Explosion of a "trap tank" on Kilińskiego Street in Warsaw - the explosion of the German special vehicle Sd.Kfz.301 (Borgward IV) captured by the Warsaw insurgents, which occurred on August 13, 1944 at ul. Jan Kiliński in the Old Town in Warsaw.
As a result of the explosion, over three hundred insurgents and civilians who came to admire the captured "tank" died. In fact, the vehicle was not a "trap tank", but a heavy cargo transporter, whose original purpose was to destroy the barricade on Podwale, and its explosion was essentially accidental. Some witnesses, however, indicated that the Germans probably deliberately allowed the insurgents to drive a dangerous vehicle deep into the Old Town. This event has since been known in Polish history as the "trap tank explosion" and is considered one of the most tragic episodes of the defense of the Old Town. Since 1992, the anniversary of the explosion has been celebrated as Old Town Remembrance Day.
It's good to learn that mate.....howewer it's sad
You should visit Poland yourself, including Warsaw and in Warsaw the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising.
The Warsaw Uprising started on 1st August at 5 p.m. So every year to commemorate this the whole Poland stops for a minute. The alarm sirens in the whole country are activated. And in the evening in Warsaw there's an annual concert, during which the artists together with people are singing the songs that were written and were sung by the participants of the Warsaw Uprising. It's really touching. There are videos about this in Internet, worth seeing.
Tragic moments in the history of my country.
If you want interesting things about this period that everyone should know, you should learn more about the Polish Underground State and the Home Army (Armia Krajowa - AK). It would also be interesting to talk about scouts, especially Szare Szeregi. I also recommend films from another period about Solidarity and its role in the fall of the "Iron Curtain".
brother of my grandfather took part in Warsaw uprising. He was burned alive in hospital on Warsaw Old Town in september 1944 by dirlewanger troops. So it's very horryfing history for us until this days.
Do you remember 303 squadron during Battle for England? Polish forces was refused to join the victory parade
My ŚP grandma told me that was only onece in life when she saw her father drunk during German ocupation, he pay sb in Gestapo for information what Germans did, he never drink earlier and later. But in 1 day he changed his hairs from black to white. His son was sb in AK (Underground Army), but didnt tell anything about friends.
I cant imagine how brave he was, we, means familly, found his tomb just few years ago even this was hard.
Thanks for movie.
There's still plenty of traces of all of those atrocities in Warszawa. There's even a track from a Goliath remote controlled mine incorporated into the wall of a church in the Old Town.
Just see the film "Warsaw 44". My aunt said

"It is possible that he was beaten to death by the Polish soldiers guarding him, mobilized and sent to guard duty at the rear of the French 1st Army in the ranks of the 3rd company of the 29th Polish Infantry Group (3 compagne 29ème Groupement d'Infanterie Polonaise). There are also French prisoners of Polish origin who worked in Altshausen during the war and could have remained as guards on occupation duty[32][33]."

Zapraszam do posłuchania historii śpiewanej przez SABATON od najazdu Turków po WW II.
Hi! I'm very pleased that you want to delve into Polish history, but as an archaeologist by education and a historian by passion, I warn you, for your own mental health, stop. What happened here is beyond your wildest expectations... Simply put. Massacres in a miniature version of World War I, the Balkan Wars of 1990. Death everywhere. Since 1946, Poles have been killing Poles. Some were under the thumb of the Soviets, others out of hatred and the desire to get back at their neighbors because they had the support of the Soviets. "Cursed Soldiers from the Home Army" which were impersonated by gangs of thugs. The NKVD and the Polish communist equivalent of the SB are everywhere. Europe sold us and left us to Nazi Germany and the USSR in 1939. But in 1945 it sold us again in the name of peace to the USSR. I will now be proud in the name of my ancestors and the Polish nation. What European country would you be in today if we hadn't fought off the Mongols, Tatars, Ottomans and Russians for you?
Apart from the Hungarians... Today it is... strange, but they always supported us in the past, and we supported them, and everything was fine. The rest of Europe did not see the problem, as it does now. I only hope that the brothers in Hungary will wake up from their torpor and change the government so that we can stand together as brothers again.
It is worth mentioning that of all the countries that the Germans attacked during the Second World War, Poland was the only one that did not pay a single penny in war reparations. They realise that it will be enormous money, even money they could not bear, so they have been scheming for years how not to pay it.
You mean Germans didn't pay to Poland yes?
Because Poland need pay to Israel for something Poland never did
@@annakinzel4212 If it weren't for the second part of the sentence, I would have thought you were a troll.
Purely hypothetically, the only thing Poland has left after World War 2 is people. The country was in ruins. Buildings destroyed, and any valuables first looted by the Germans, and then the remnants that remained were taken east to Moscow. So what would we use to pay them any compensation?
It is as if Ukrainians today were to pay someone compensation for having lost something in Crimea or the Donbass.
Lie
@@lyncz88 I know I'm Polish we need pay Jewish layers for something we didn't even did they scammers
one has in general to keep in mind that not only Germany started WW2 but also - even if a bit more indirectly and 'delayed' - Russia (Hitler-Stalin Pakt). Many permanently oversee this aspect by the re-framed narrative that Russia was part of the alleys and 'freed everyone' (after they got attacked themself). The German attack was also encouraged by Russia due to such aspects. Another often overseen aspect is that Germany/Austria was actually less antisemitic/antizionist and more tolerant in the time before and during the first WW which was together with a better economy/more developed country a reason why many eastern Jews among other migrants came to Germany and got more focus (in difference to the more westernized Jews), polarized more. In WW1 in some Eastern European regions Germany actually helped Jews. This doesnt mean that you had not typical for that time resentments but they were for some time much less than in most other parts of Europe, especially the much more antisemitic/antizionist Eastern parts. This changed then during the Nazis but not only due to Nazis, but also due to other 'socialists' movements (just like today! most antisemitic/antizionist ones are still left wings with Islam - who btw, was with the Nazis part of the ones who wanted commit genocide on jews). Just like with Russia (which masses of left wings/socialists also among the Nazis supported) there is too much reframing after the war when both played the 'victim' card while in reality they were part of the problem. There were also some anti-Jewish progroms on Jews in Poland AFTER the Germans left like the 'Pogrom von Kielce which made many jews now also escape (mostly to Western countries but also others). 'Also often caused by socialist movements and also the 'communist/socialist' government which refused to give property back to jews and encouraged them to flee to Israel (similar situations in most of the socialist/communist countries).
Austria between the world wars was much more antisemitic than III Reich or Poland.
No, the AK was not the best equipped in Europe. It was Yugoslavia that had the best equipped underground forces, they even had aircrafts and tanks.
That's true. But it is also true that the Yugoslav guerrillas fought in mountainous/upland geographical conditions, very favorable for guerrilla warfare. The Soviets and Americans found this out in Afghanistan (and many others before that).
Compared to Yugoslavia, Poland is as flat as a table.
Under communism we could not officially commemorate the Warsaw Uprising and other important national anniversaries. But fortunately communism fell, the russkies troops moved away from us and finally, after so many grey years, we could start to commemorate our brave, tragic insurgents with dignity.
In the link below you can see how we do it, every year, on the same day at the same time. ua-cam.com/video/Ejd2rsXoQSI/v-deo.htmlsi=Wa_vv8CyxXLgvNQa
I recommend it, for me it is a very sublime and moving moment ❤️🇵🇱
The popular belief that commemorating the Warsaw Uprising during communism was forbidden, is a myth. Only in the heyday of the Stalinist period (1949-1953) commemorations were largely private. Btw, the first anniversary celebrations were held on 1st August 1945, reported by the media. And, what "other important national anniversaries" do you have in mind?
@@benwars9524
One or two things: either you are not a Pole or you are undereducated Pole.
The Warsaw Uprising, right after Katyn, was one of the most hypocritical historical topics in communist Poland. Katyn was a forbidden topic until the end of communism in Poland. The Warsaw Uprising could be discussed and celebrated, but it was a forbidden topic to attribute bad will to the USRR and the cynical calculations of Stalin.
...as for these ,,other important national anniversaries", here you go:
1. In 1946, the communist banned the celebration of the Constitution on May 3, and a year later they officially abolished this holiday, relegating it to the role of the People's Party holiday. And it was a normal working day.
2. Instead of August 15, i.e. Polish Armed Forces Day and the Miracle on the Vistula, i.e. the defeat of the bolsheviks near to Warsaw, the anniversary of the battle of Lenino began to be celebrated (!),
3. November 11 i.e the Day of Regaining Independence, was banned, and instead the communists inserted their own holiday of independence of the Polish People's Republic on July 22, i.e. the fictitious date of establishment of Polish Committee of National Liberation. In fact, it was created earlier and, not in Chełm Lubelski, but in Moscow under stalin's supervision.
These above-mentioned holidays define our identity as Poles. They tried to rob us of it. First during partitions, then during WWII germans through mass murders, soviets through deportations to Siberia and ethic cleansing and finally the communists through their attempt to change Poles into homosovieticus. It didn't work then and I dare to say it will never work.
There is a famous bon mot of Stalin: "It's easier to saddle a cow than to indroduce communism in Poland".
...and finally, you don't have to take my word for it, of course, but in the archives of Polish laws there is the famous act of January 18, 1951 ( Dz.U.1951, nr 4, poz. 28), where the communists indicate which days and which holidays (national and religious) are intended for celebration. I recommend.
@@agaw225 There was some hypocrisy about the Warsaw Uprising in the communist period, but some consider today's hypocrisy on this tragic event as running deeper. Then and now the historical truth is subordinated to contemporary politics. Ad. 1) What's so tragic about the 3rd May Constitution? True, it was not celebrated officially. Maybe because the Constitution was adopted by some Poles and then abolished by other Poles? Ad. 2) The "Miracle on the Vistula" was a very controversial issue not only in the communist period, but also in pre-war Poland. Ad. 3) Also the 11th November date was hotly disputed before the war, eventually it was adopted only in 1937. None of these were celebrated officially after the war, but indeed taught in schools quite objectively (in the post-Stalinist period). In the communist era, there was one top taboo about history - the Katyń massacre, the communists had a big problem with that. Nowadays Katyń has been replaced by other taboos.
The uprising was unnecessary. It was General Okulicki who encouraged the others to make it. Ultimately, the uprising turned out to be a gift for Stalin, who no longer had a problem with Poles when entering Warsaw. Living Warsaw residents could become a serious political problem for him, which is why he blocked aid for the insurgents and waited until the uprising collapsed.
Most probably general Leopold Okulicki "Niedzwiadek" was a Soviet instigator. Numerous trusted Polish historians suspect it.
You have stated that Soviet Army was just a few miles from Warsaw and at the banks of Vistula river it halted. It is not true. Timing is crucial as you have also said. We will never know for sure if Stalin wanted to capture the city or not. Some sources show that Rokossowski was ordered to capture eastern part of the city, Praga, on 2nd of August and cross Vistula on 6th of August. Unfortunately the plan failed totally due to stubborn German resistance and furious German counter-attacks after 15th of July and beginning of August. German forces east of Warsaw were still a formidable force and threw everything they had into the battle ( including panzer SS division Herman Goring transferred from Italy ). Initially 1st Belarussion Front managed to breakthrough north - east of Warsaw, capture important towns of Wolomin and Radzymin and even reach southern suburbs of Wyszkow. But very soon leading units were encircled and cut off from main forces. 2 Panzer Army, Rokossowski's main strike force, lost about 80% of tanks and had to be withdrawn ( remnants which managed to retreat ) from the battle. Panzer battle east of Warsaw, called battle of Wolomin - Radzymin is regarded as one of biggest tank clashes of WW 2 ( bigger than El Alamein ). During first days of Uprising Rokossowski was in real trouble with many of his units fighting for survival. To have some idea about what was going on east of Warsaw it is best to watch detailed film on you tube ( unfortunately it is in Polish, but movements of all involved units are shown very precisely ): "Bitwy Swiata - Bitwa pod Warszawa 1944r" by Martinn. On 5th of August Rokossowski finally managed to stabilise the situation and after 20th of that month ( after serious reinforcements ) continued his push north-west. Central part of Praga was finally liberated from 13-th to 15-th of September, when Uprising was already slowly collapsing. However on 15th of September about 10:30 chief of staff of 1st Belarussian Front, gen. Malinin ordered general Zygmunt Berling to cross Vistula immediately. General Berling, commander of 1st Polish Army followed the order on night of 15/16th September. Three bridgeheads were formed, biggest was the southernmost - Czerniakow bridgehead. Invaders managed to establish contact with Home Army units. Fighting was extremely fierce. Polish soldiers failed to supply any tanks and artillery to the west bank; all rafts were hit on run aground. After 19th of September bridgehead was limited only to some small pockets. However at 13:30 on 20th of September, 226 Guard Riffle Regiment from 74 Division of 8 Guard Army commanded by gen. W. Czujkov was ordered to cross Vistula on the next day. 8th Guard Army was an elite unit with soldiers experienced in street fighting in Stalingrad. Unfortunately, due to critical situation on the bridgehead, order was abandoned. Polish losses on all 3 bridgeheads exceed 3000 during 9 days of action ( killed, drowned in the river, taken prisoner ). During famous battle of Monte Cassino, Polish 2 Corps lost about 950 men during 2 weeks of fighting, that is 3 times less. But nowadays nobody mentions about slaughter on the bridgeheads, sometimes you can hear it was a mere manifestation only, just to save face.
Besides Uprising in Warsaw Ghetto took place in March - April 1943, not in 1944.
Best regards
You clearly don't know about "Generalplan Ost" It was not only the Jews that was to be exterminated. Us Poles, all Slavs were next in line. They started with the Jews becouse the number of them was smaller.

I recommend to find out what Ukrainian's did in that uprising...
A wiesz, że ukraińców w powstaniu nie było tak wielu i to nie SS Galitzien dławiła powstanie, gdyż była zajęta byciem rozbijaną w kotle przez armię czerwoną. Było kilka pomniejszych jednostek ukraińskich, ale to promil tego ile było niemców, austriaków, holendrów itd
@@navynavy1449 "Nie było tak wielu".Według moich informacji była ich tam połowa.
Ukraincow bylo o wiele mniej niz Rosjan z RONA i ROA. Jedyna zwarta ukrainska jednostka w trakcie Powstania byl 31 Schutzmannschafts-Batallion der SD ( tzw. legion Wolynski ) liczacy okolo 400 zolnierzy i oficerow. Dowodca byl Petro Diaczenko, przedwojenny oficer kontaktowy WP. Batalion ten w istocie dopuscil sie wielu morderstw na cywilach; sluzylo w nim sporo uczestnikow Rzezi Wolynskiej. Troche Ukraincow bylo w skladzie RONA, ROA i grupy Dirlewangera. Najliczniejsza grupe stanowili Kozacy donscy i kubanscy. Uwazali sie oni za odrebna grupe etniczna; ani Rosjan, ani Ukraincow. Maja na sumieniu wielu bezbronnych cywilow. Ludnosc Warszawy nazywala ich wszystkich "Ukraincami", gdyz nie rozrozniala tych wszystkich oprawcow mowiacych przewaznie po rosyjsku.
Zdecydowanie najgorsza grupe stanowili Azerowie i Gruzini ( plus niewielka ilosc Ormian, Tatarow, Kazachow, Kirgizow, itp. ).
II batalion Sonderverband Bergmann liczyl okolo 500 osob. Walczyl tez ( a raczej mordowal ) I/111 Azerbejdzanski batalion polowy Donmec ( podlegal Dirlewangerowi ). Czlonkowie tych jednostek czesto podrzynali gardla, palili zywcem, stosowali rozne wymyslne tortury. Znany jest aczkolwiek przypadek gdy prawie 100 Azerow przeszlo na strone powstancow.
Etniczni Niemcy stanowili tylko okolo 30% sil tlumiacych Powstanie; nie zwalnia to rzecz jasna hitlerowskich Niemiec od glownej odpowiedzialnosci za rzez Warszawy.
They fought Germans, not the Nazis. There was German Reich, not Nazistan.
The Warsaw uprising was a German provocation. Most leadership of AK were a German agents , including Bor Komorowski. Before uprising AK evacuated from Warsaw 700 machine pistols from Warsaw and another 700 were found after the war in some hidden place in Warsaw intact. So insurgents had only 700 MPs instead of 2100MPs. Next on julay 31 they started uprising and they stopped it to give Germans enough time to be ready the next day. Similar in Volyn area they moved all AK forces from Volyn making it possible for Ukronazis to mass slother Polish population. It looks that AK leaders always did something wrong. All geostrategists know that it is impossible to take Warsaw marching from the east without stopping. This has something to do with logistics so the leaders of uprising should know it. The first Soviet units appear on the Warsaw eastern bank of Vistula in mid September. The fact that the first arms were dropped in Warsaw in mid September was too late and only unnecessary prolonged fighting. Even if soviets allow Americans and Brits to drop supply in Warsaw and land on soviet side it would only prolong unnecessary fighting. On German side there were Ukronazis Bandera units that were particularly infamous for their barbaric killing of civilians.
It was certainly a Soviet provocation, not German. Komorowski wasn't a German agent, however general Leopold Okulicki "Niedzwiadek" most probably was a hIdden Soviet agent. Soviet drops were performed only from 17th of September and only in Zoliborz ( "Zywiciel" area ) without using parachutes. Worst Home Army mistake during Uprising was the withdrawal from Wola district and leaving civilians unprotected. Home Army command thought Germans will withdraw from the city through this district, but quite the opposite happened. It was followed by massacre of about 50000 civilians.
@@mecx7322 1. In written German book after the war German say that Abwera knew everything what was happening in AK leadership .
In 1943 Germans arrested AK leader gen. Rowecki and implanted their man Komorowski.
2. B.S. The biggest AK mistake was to start uprising at all.
There were no Bandera units in Warsaw during the uprising however there were some Ukrainians in RONA and ROA renegate units.

decision to start uprising is considered a war crime by many historitians. there were 0 chance of victory. many civilians died. many volonteers that could help fight of communism. unnescesary uprising imo
When hitler make victory parade after surrender goverment in warsaw in undergrund was hide tons of tnt there is a lot tnt to destroy half of warsaw but this operation was aborted after parade hitler got information about this and he say never again come to warsaw cuz he scare to loose life in attack polish upriser
Actually Germans never discovered that a large explosion was prepared to kill Hitler. Hitler never intended to visit Warsaw again, he was too busy with other important issues.

@@arturbojan916 I didn't say there was an explosion, because there wasn't. Two loads were fitted in shallow trenches and well hidden: first approximately where De Gaule's monument is now, second one on the other side of Nowy Swiat very close to BGK bank. Each contained about 250 kg TNT plus some additional artillery shells. Action was cancelled most probably fearing enormous repressions and execution of more than 400 hostages. Nobody was arrested afterward and Germans never realised a coup was planned.
