This is one of the strangest events of the Second World War, so strange that to this day nobody knows what was going on there? When during the Second World War the Red Army of Russia stood by the Vistula River, everyone knew that the Germans’ dreams of ruling the world turned out to be a pipe dream. Germany has already lost the war. On the Vistula River, the Russians were preparing logistically for a quick attack on Berlin. Fast enough to be there first before the allies. At that time, an uprising takes place in one city in Poland. The population of Warsaw takes up arms and fights against the Germans. The fight after two months is stopped with a defeat, the total of which is 150.000 victims, mainly on the Polish side.

If this were a civil action, the Warsaw Uprising could be considered the greatest civil resistance against Germany in history, something like an act of revenge and retaliation against the hated occupier. However, some historical sources claim that it was a deliberate action by the Polish authorities “drinking tea in London”, that is, it was not a civilian movement but an order issued to the quickly mated Polish army in Warsaw. And if you stick to it, the purpose of the order must have been amusing, when we take into account the fact of the signed pacts that the planned march of the Soviet army through the territory of former Poland will be at the same time a capture area of the Russian army and subject to the administration of Russia.

Another surprise is the desperate struggle of the Germans to maintain order in Warsaw and bring about the fall of the uprising. When the Red Army stood on the other side of the river, the Germans boasted about how much ammunition they still had, completely destroying the city. Did they want to scare the Russians? Or maybe they believed that the Russians were already bored with the warrior and that the Russians, in exchange for atrocities against the Russian people, would give the Germans this part of Poland so that they could build a large race of lords there?

It is difficult to understand, but faced with the threat of the red invader, the Poles and the Germans organized military games. And none of these madmen wondered what would come after this? The Germans did not manage to escape the Russians and weakened their military resistance in Berlin, and the Poles put to kill the patriotic collective needed in the fight against the new Soviet occupier.

The Warsaw Uprising is not about the struggle of Poles for freedom, but about the heroic struggle of the city so it was a local party.
A few years ago, a modest museum dedicated to the uprising was launched in Warsaw, but when we look at the museum’s website, in the months when the uprising lasted (August, September), the first thing that will come to us is the ticket prices. The museum is modern, the ticket can be purchased online. The rank of the museum was created in Warsaw to the status of similar businessmen as the museum of irons or rubik’s cubes, which shows that, according to the Polish Government, this is not too significant for Poland. However, any lofty words about insurgents and thanks are perhaps measures aimed at obtaining financial allowances for their pensions. I don’t know if the insurgents thought about it during the fight, but maybe now we have to recognize that this kind of heroism was about it. (Brux)
