Russia to outlaw criticism of WWII tactics [57]
Didn't some of Berling's Polish 1st Corps paddle across the Vistula to help?
Yes against the orders of the high command.
Didn't some of Berling's Polish 1st Corps paddle across the Vistula to help? But they were mown down by German fire not Soviet bullets.
No they were not, they made it through and joined the AK units, the second wave was stopped and failed to establish the bridgehead because Russians would not provide fire support and forbade polish artillery to do so.
Carol, if you had ever been to Warsaw you would know how laughably stupid your statement is. Really. Just look at a map of Warsaw, note where the Soviets were (right bank) and count the number of tunnels under the Wisla (none).
He meant sewers, and crossing Vistula would be pathetically easy for the Red Army, they had such number of artillery they could shield their engineers without any effort.
There were also a couple Russian liason officers that were parachuted into the Polish lines—so they weren't being gunned down by Soviets?
As i read your posts i realise that you're either covertly anti-polish or simply severely uneducated, the so called "liason officers" were dropped either to direct the movements of communist partisants or to make contact with AK units so they could later be easily identified for pacification, Russia provided no organised support for AK and no support in any form at Warsaw, they were just another invading enemy army.
