Warsaw Uprising 1944 At the end of July 1944, Poland was already in its fifth year of German occupation. On the eastern front, the German armies are in full retreat from the terrible offensive of the Red Army, approaching the eastern suburbs of Warsaw. The release of Polish capital seems within reach. General "Bor" Komorowski, commander of the Polish Underground Home Army (Home Army, AK), initiates an uprising in Warsaw against the German occupying forces at "W-hour"; 17:00 August 1, 1944. The uprising is expected to last about a week and will be a wiping and disarming operation. What the militants don't know, however, is that the Germans have decided to defend the Warsaw "fortress" and counterattack the Red Army forces east of the city. Warsaw” It is estimated that about 40,000 soldiers, including 4,000 women, have enough weapons for 2,500 fighters. They faced a German garrison of 15,000 men (corpsgruppe), made up of policemen and soldiers from the Waffen SS, as well as pilots from the Luftwaffe and front infantry units, which would grow to 30,000 armed with tanks, aircraft, and artillery.
