Good on Poland for having such a large amount of national pride.

A major reason for the high casualties was Stalin lying to these brave men and womem, never delivering to the promised arms and munitions. And let us not forget Stalin’s orders at the last moment not to come to the aide of the Polish uprising.

"Mila 18" by Leon Uris is a great novel of the Jewish upraising in the Warsaw Ghetto

I read it when I was about 15 and it changed my life.

I know, but the history would not be complete without that being mentioned.

Well, in a short time, those of us that do not worship the government are going to have to make a decision: Are we going to die on our feet as free men and women, or we going to die of starvation on our knees begging for food in a government slave camp.

Not yet, still boiling. AS for Russia and Germany, well, I daresay, they didn’t conquer Poland in breaking her existence. Same with Napoleon. No one can really break Poland. God never forgot Poland because Poland never forgot God.

It’s racism now for us to do that here.

Meanwhile in France other Polish soldiers were fighting and dying to liberate that country.

Great line and I agree wholeheartedly.

Well about the time the heat breaks I’m heading to the upper, tired of the heat here in Florida.

“Mila 18” and “Exodus” by Leon Uris are classics IMO. I read them as a youngster too, and then re-read them because they were so good.

The ancient poet Pindar wrote: “The long toil of the brave is not lost in darkness.” Neither is the bravery of Poland’s Home Army lost in darkness.
