    Soviet union, invaded poland 1939, ending any chance for a quick war against germany.
    During many uprisings (such as Viluniius uprising in modern day Lithuanian) they had already used polish help then move on, while days later NKVD would kill or deport to Siberia Polish Homefront officers and soliders.
    During the Warsaw uprising: halted there advanced for 62 days on the 1st day of the uprising, eventually they did supply artillery support but mysteriously they hit more polish postions then Germany postions which was pretty hard to do actually, quickly banned Westren Allies from landing in Soviet airfields.

      Lee Christy the Soviet’s tanks could be seen waiting on the Wisła river banks as early as September 1944 they deliberately waited for the Nazis to crush the poles so they could be seen as liberators in history as you have been doctored by victors of the war to polish resistance waited for the soviets to come and aid them but they waited so they themselves could be met with little resistance because if they did another polish uprising would have happened to protest soviet rule Poland wasn’t truly independent until 1990 the polish uprising was the biggest underground uprising effort in all of Europe killed over 200,000 poles and evacuated and moved to concentration camps a further 700,000 poles leaving Warsaw with a population of 1,000 when the Soviet’s arrived

This is something you’re trying to do to stop spreading socialistic ideas around the world as you are afraid of it so much. Poland was supporting Germany in tearing apart the Czechoslovakia, that had agreement with France and Soviets union. Poland answered that they will not allow and will attack soviet airforces if they will try to help Czechs to fight germany. You must be polish to defend them and show them only as small and peaceful country that was cruelly attacked, but this is not true.
