By January 1945 85% of the buildings were destroyed: 25% as a result of the Uprising, 35% as a result of systematic German actions after the uprising, and the rest as a result of the earlier Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the September 1939 campaign.[5] Material losses are estimated at 10,455 buildings, 923 historical buildings (94%), 25 churches, 14 libraries including the National Library, 81 primary schools, 64 high schools, University of Warsaw and Warsaw University of Technology, and most of the historical monuments.[5] Almost a million inhabitants lost all of their possessions.[5] The exact amount of losses of private and public property as well as pieces of art, monuments of science and culture is unknown but considered enormous. Studies done in the late 1940s estimated total damage at about $30 billion US dollars.[139] In 2004, President of Warsaw Lech Kaczyński, later President of Poland, established a historical commission to estimate material losses that were inflicted upon the city by German authorities. The commission estimated the losses as at least US$31.5 billion at 2004 values.[140] Those estimates were later raised to US$45 billion 2004 US dollars and in 2005, to $54.6 billion

  • In 2004 whole (material only) polish losses in WW2 were estimated on 1000 000 000 000€. And only losses of Warsaw on about 46 000 000 000€. Germans NEVER paid any compensations! They argue that communist gouv. of Poland resigned from that in 1953, but it was only unformal proclamation forced by Soviets, and only for East Germany. Poland never officially resigned, and independent Poland did't accepted "resignation" from '53.

  • @7Starslayer7

    The whole German nation (5 generations forward) is responsible for what happened. This flaw will never disappear from your conscience! For Europe, the best solution would be a bloodless annihilation of the German nation. It's already happening (see the Turks in your country)
