Warsaw - City that came back from the dead

The Warsaw Uprising :
was a struggle by the Polish resistance organization,
the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from Nazi German occupation during World War II, before the arrival of the Soviet Army. The Uprising began on 1 August 1944, as part of a nationwide rebellion, Operation Tempest. The rebellion was intended to last for only a few days until the communists reached the city. The Soviet advance stopped short, however, while Polish resistance against the German forces continued for 63 days until the Polish surrendered.
The Uprising began as the Soviet Army approached Warsaw. The main Polish objectives were to drive the German occupiers from the city and help with the larger fight against Germany and the Axis powers. Secondary political objectives were to liberate Warsaw before the arrival of the Soviet Army, to underscore Polish sovereignty and to undo the division of Central Europe into spheres of influence by the Allied powers.
The insurgents aimed to reinstate Polish authorities before the Soviet Polish Committee of National Liberation could assume control.
Initially, the Poles seized substantial areas of the city, but the Soviets did not advance beyond the city's borders until mid-September. Inside the city, bitter fighting between the Germans and Poles continued. By 16 September, Soviet forces had reached a point a few hundred meters from the Polish positions, across the Vistula River, but they made no further headway during the Uprising, leading to allegations that the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin had wanted the insurrection to fail so that the Soviet occupation of Poland would be uncontested.
Although the exact number of casualties remains unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 civilians died, mostly from mass murders conducted by troops fighting on the German side. German casualties totaled over 2,000 soldiers killed, 7,000 missing, and 9,000 wounded. During the urban combat approximately 25% of Warsaw's buildings were destroyed. Following the surrender of Polish forces, German troops systematically leveled 35% of the city block by block. Together with earlier damage suffered in the invasion of Poland (1939) and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943), over 85% of the city was destroyed by January 1945, when the Soviets entered the city.

Powstanie Warszawskie 1944, wokół tego tematu krąży wiele opinii:
"Bezprzykładne Męstwo",
" Rozpaczliwy Zryw w Obronie Polskiej Suwerenności", "Cyniczna Rozgrywka Polityczna", "Głupota".....

Ja w swoim filmiku chciałem Pokazać Zwykłych Ludzi, którzy w Sierpniowe popołudnie, stanęli do Nierównej Walki trwającej wbrew logice aż 63 dni, gdyż prowadzili ją pełni nadziei, gniewu za 4 lata terroru oraz w imię Wartości w które wierzyli.

Chciałem pokazać Miasto,Świadka tamtych wydarzeń, które
na równi z ludźmi, stało się celem Gniewu Okupanta także po zakończeniu walk gdy było systematycznie niszczone dom po domu, aby dać odstraszający przykład innym okupowanym narodom.

Chciałem też pokazać "Upartą Naturę Polskiego Narodu", który pomimo wyniszczającej okupacji, pomimo krytycznej sytuacji materialnej i politycznej, podjął Trud odbudowy: Kraju i swojej Stolicy........

@Ondrall We always have to pay dearly for our pride. Price is so high that sometimes we are asking ourselves - Is it worth it so much? National pride is absolutely needed to overcome such rought times as war or partitions, but it costs thousands of human lifes, countless human tragedies and irreversible extencive damages to the country, and Poland knows it best.

[Ondrall]

Polish people have my deepest honor for their deeds in 20th century - fighting their independence from German/Russian/Austrian opression in WW1 and then fighting to death to defend their new, free state.

On the other hand, we - Czechs and Slovaks, also have fought bravely against Austrian opression and won our free state, but only to give it up to Nazi after 20 years ... we gave up without any fight ...

I'm so jealous of Polish, because their pride and honor did'nt die in 1939, as the ours did

@KaterinaKlaudia A ponadto skojarzenie nazwy miasta z wojną występuje nie tylko w jezyku angielskim. Np. po turecku var=jest, savaş=wojna
