In all respects save one: the "enemy" at this front was not armed.

Look up the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Look up the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

I'm intimately familiar with the Warsaw action. What makes it so remarkable is the fact that it was unique. Warsaw alone saw any armed resistance to the "Final Solution." And the arms used by the legendary fighters in that action were purloined from a variety of sources, but seldom belonged to the fighters themselves, Hitler having confiscated all civilian firearms long before April of 1943.
