do you really expect anyone with a serious interest in this era to believe that the Home Army could have defeated the germans in '44?
Youve obviously got your agenda,not sure what it is,but it runs contrary to logic and military facts,a **** poorly equiped resistance army has NEVER liberated a country on its own,never,no matter how brave or spirited they may be its just an imposibility without outside help,and before you ***** about the UK again just remember where the vast majority of arms and supplies for the AK came from.

Ok finally we are getting somewhere. My agenda - is to protect the honour of those fighting for freedom and justice. You see it all in black and white.

In 1939 Poland is a free sovereign country. Russia thinks she owns Poland. Russia does not want Poland to be free. Russia tries to invade Poland in 1920 but Poland kicks her a*s. FACT.

Russia is chicken and is partly responsible for WWII buy encouraging Hitler to invade. (The Pact) bla bla

Hitler kicks Russian a*s - Russia now wants to swap sides. Russia becomes ally of west including Poland.

Polish Home Army does it's part and clears Germans out of Warsaw. Yes they do defeat the Germans - they kick them out of the city. Job done. FACT. (wait for it!)

resistance army has NEVER liberated a country on its own its just an imposibility without outside help

Correct. That is why allies should work as a team. Polish home army does not get the help it needs and Germans come back. So far nothing wrong with behaviour of Poles. The Russians - hmmm?

The Russians wait because they don't want Warsaw in Polish hands.

Yes of course Russia cleared the eastern front. This is obvious. But they were clearing up their own mess. They were not fighting to liberate Poland - but to steal it.

where the vast majority of arms and supplies for the AK came from.

Yeh right - and most of the bullits didn't fit the guns.
Sometimes you really make me laugh - or is it cry.

You know the Polish army invented BlitzGrieg (Lightning war).
In 1920 the young Charles De Gaulle was fighting with Poland
against the Russian invaders. This was one of the first wars
after WW1. The polish army, after seeing slow trench warfare
did not want a repeat so they developed small mobile units of
cavalry strike forces which penetrated deep into Russian
advances and helped to confuse and defuse them - leading
to ultimate victory for the Poles. De Gaulle was intrigued by
this approach and wrote a ducument explaining how this
could be even more effective if motorized. Hitler later saw
this and put it to the test.
