Soviet radio encouraged this uprising as the Red Army was getting close to Warsaw. When the Poles started the uprising the Red Army halted until the Nazis crushed the uprising. The Communists in this way used the Nazis to eliminate a large potential group of freedom fighters who would have undoubtedly fought Communist domination as well.

About 200,000 people, a quarter of Warsaw's residents, were killed in the fighting

This figure always makes me pause. America lost about 400,000 in all of World War II.
