The uprising was over. On 30 September, Midtown defended itself, and the only food was boiled wheat and barley! So on 2 October – after 63 days of heroic fighting – the Home Army office signed the act of surrender. At least it was obtained that the insurgents as an Allied army miles to the POW camps. Polish losses were crucial due to the fact that 17,2 1000 AK soldiers and 3.5 1000 churchmen were killed and 5 1000 soldiers were declared missing. And as prof. Roszkowski further states in mass executions, about 180 1000 civilians died in collapsed buildings and fires.
General Anders was right, recalling that under urban conditions no military action was induced. Unfortunately, even considering the seriousness of this warning, it must be admitted that the outbreak of the uprising most likely could not be avoided, due to the fact that not only the youth were resorting to combat, but the inaction of the AK, erstwhile the Red Army was coming, would strengthen Stalin's false propaganda about the alleged cooperation of Polish underground forces with the occupier. The Germans besides ordered a 100 1000 men to appear fortification work, which threatened to be branded or repressed, and besides indicated that the Nazis intend to make Warsaw a fortress.
Of course, Poles could not and did not want to aid them in this task! It besides threatened that the uprising would detonate anyway - Polish broadcasts from Moscow called for weapons, and agitating flyers signed by General Żymierski were dropped on Warsaw. So there was a fear that the communists would take the lead in the outbreak. Our bad and painful experiences with the Soviets during the “Burza” action at the ends, from February to July 1944, erstwhile the Red Army disarmed and deported AK troops after military assistance to the Russians. The situation was so hopeless, the uprising must have erupted. And then immediately Stalin stopped the offensive and did not aid the insurgents, despite the promise given to Prime Minister Mikołajczyk. and russian tanks - seen in Prague on 31 July, which yet led the AK command to announce the Uprising - withdrew later beyond the front.
This cynical game of the Soviets was condemned even by Alexander Sołzenicin, who was a Russian nationalist and pervaded the communicative as he liked it vividly, in this respect he was unfortunately an anti-Polish “terrorist”, e.g. he wrote that Stefan Batory had gone to Russia (?), and so Solzenicin omitted Ivan the erstwhile assault on the Republic of Poland! But about the Uprising he could afford the words of truth: “...a cut in the back of the dying Poland on September 17, 1939, the slaughter of the flower of the Polish people in the camps, regardless of Katyń; the malicious, merciless anticipation of us on the banks of the Vistula River in August 1944, the reflection by binoculars as on the another bank of Hitler crushes the Warsaw rushes of national forces – let them no longer lift up, we ourselves will invent who needs to be led by the authorities. I was close to all of this and I say with conviction: given the pace of our offensive to force the Vistula would not be hard for us, and the destiny of Warsaw would be different...” (end of quote).
We know how annoyed Putin was by president Lech Kaczyński telling the planet about this vicious, ruthless anticipation of the Red Army close Warsaw. And that was 1 of the motives of Smolensk revenge. . present there are besides enemies of Poland on 1 bank of Vistula, specified as a division of hotel children, hordes of Tusk and Trzaskovsky with abroad capital, Polish citizens and a group of peers from the Holowna party, fresh “patriots” from the Polish organization is one, deluded confederates or further blinded activists of PSL and always anti-Polish politicians of the left. They are waiting for the consequence of the elections to attack Poland and demolish the Polish state... In this jungle of unusual predators, let us choose those who truly care about Poland and Poles, and these are people of conscience from the Law and Solidarity, as they have proven over the years of service to the Homeland. Let us vote for them, due to the fact that it will be a vote for independent Poland, specified a Poland as the Warsaw insurgents died for! They died for the Independent, deceived by Stalin, but memorable, and walked through the sewers, dying in ruins... Let the memory of these heroes give us the strength to build the actual 3rd Republic, and it is against the divisions of the enemies who are waiting for the fall of our legitimate demands for improvement of Themid, hampered by the irresponsible veto of the President. Let us vote present for those who are besides fighting for independent Poland and are slow recovering what the communists did not agree to at the circular table! Hi to the heroes of the Uprising, they are constantly ahead, we cannot betray their dreams! This is the solidarity of generations, the binder of the community.
