Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]
If my task was to write the stupidest thing on the subject of the Warsaw Uprising, I would write this:
To prevent the Red Army from occupying more of Germany and to make sure Germans who just killed 17% of Poland's population felt better when the war was over, it was good and proper to pull off a suicidal stunt in Warsaw in August 1944 that led to the death of 200,000 Poles and the city in ruins.
The short version of the above: I should die now so Germans are happier later.
That's what one poster here claimed as one of the reasons for this idiocy.
Patriots and heroes die first. Often referred to as useful idiots or tools.
