In August 1944, Paris and Warsaw were rioting while waiting for the Allies to arrive to help them. Paris benefited from the American troops and Free France, but Warsaw was not so lucky with the Soviets... This video is dedicated to the people (men, women and children) who gave their lives to stand up to the German occupiers in the worst possible conditions. With few weapons, little knowledge of combat, and inferior equipment. The enemy was outgunned compared to them. They continued to fight despite being left behind by the Allies. The Warsaw Uprising was a failure, the Poles thought the Soviets would arrive in time...
I wanted to use this song for a long time in a video and I finally got the opportunity. I could have put the Sabaton song directly on the subject, but I preferred to be more subtle.

The Warsaw Uprising 1944 was a heroic, unique and tragic 63-day struggle (August - October 1944) to liberate Warsaw - capital of Poland - from Nazi/German occupation. Undertaken by the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), the Polish resistance group. At that time Allied troops were breaking through the Normandy defences and the Red Army was standing at the line of the Vistula River, near Warsaw.

Warsaw could have been the first European capital liberated; however, various military and political miscalculations, as well as global politics - played among Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt - turned the dice against it.


Warsaw Uprising estimated at 50.000 Polish soldiers of Home Army (AK), 4.000 women included, have enough weapons only for 2.500 fighters. They were facing a 55.000-strong German garrison, armed with tanks, planes, and artillery. Nevertheless Polish insurgents were fighting for their capital for 63 days.

Warsaw - left in the lurch - paid a high price: 16.000-18.000 insurgents were killed and about 26.000 were wounded. About 150.000 civilians were killed during fight or murdered by German troops. Warsaw was completely destroyed. All civilians were forced to leave the city. Approximately 50.000 civilians ended up in the concentration camps as "dangerous elements", and an additional 150.000 were transported to forced labour camps in Germany.
