Five years into the Second World War, the Soviet army was advancing on Nazi-occupied Warsaw. In a desperate bid to liberate the city from the Nazis while staving off a communist takeover, the Polish resistance launched the Warsaw Uprising on Aug. 1, 1944. After 63 days, the struggle ended in disaster with a city in ruins and 250,000 dead civilians. In this CBC clip, four Polish-Canadian survivors describe dark days of no food, water or ammunition.
