History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]
I listened to the latest episode of towarzystwo nieporkornych from polskieradio and learnt some interesting things.
- soviet official radio broadcast both internationally and into Poland calling for a Warsaw Uprising.
- AK soldiers were instructed to welcome and work with the soviet army during and after the uprising.
- The Warsaw Uprising inspired the Paris and Prague uprisings, on the first day of the Warsaw uprising, AK captured an important german building, which was a sign to the French resistance, which kicked off in the next few days. So we can say the Warsaw Uprising was a spark to the rest of Europe that resistance is possible and necessary.
- The allies did 8 waves of aid drops by their air force before ordering them to stand down, at the disgust of polish air force and allies
- Let's dispense with the myth that all French were vichy, The first week the Paris Uprising had as many casualties as the Warsaw uprising did in it's first week. The difference was that the allies marched into Paris after a week and the uprising was victorious.
- Paris was meant to be razed to the ground by the germans. Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, all the bridges and levies were mined. All it took was one press of a button. Paris was meant to be exploded, flooded and destroyed. It took a last minute plea by the Swiss ambassador to the germans to prevent Paris from being like Warsaw after the war.
- The Prague uprising had a different ending than Warsaw, in that because the allied forces were close, the soviets actively supported the uprising. Afraid of the allies taking control of Czech and Slovakia they provided arms (63k guns vs 16k in Warsaw, not that the Polish guns came from russia) and then marched into Prague to defeat the germans. The Czechs were as brave as the Poles but they had help. This explains the difference between Polish and Czech/Slovakian attitudes towards russians.
Conclusions.
- The allies betrayed us. (that's o.k it was great power politics and we forgive them.)
- The Czechs and the French fought as hard as the Poles in fighting the germans when the time was right.
- Kania is an idiiot for giving the russians a minute of his time. They will betray, kill, rape his family in 2023-203x if they get the chance.
