Unimaginably tragic and romantic. The flower of Warsaw youth fighting for their city and holding on for two months hoping the Russians already just across the river would help.
But Stalin preferred to wait and let germans squash them bc he didnt want patriotic Poles to succeed but install his communist puppets instead.
Then germans raised Warsaw to the ground in revenge and expelled its population.
Only then the Soviets took the city.
