From August 1 - October 2, 1944 the Nazis were challenged by an underground army of irregular volunteers - the vast majority barely adult. The Poles wanted to free their capital and greet the advancing Red Army as a free people. They counted on help from the Allies but this did not come. 200,000 people, one-third of Warsaw s population perished, 15,000 resistance fighters were taken prisoner-of-war, and 80% of Warsaw was destroyed. Battle for Warsaw 44 contains unique testimony from Polish, British, and German participants. Hugh Lunghi, a member of British Military Mission to Moscow, speaks for the first time about the British involvement at the time of the Uprising and pilots from the RAF and Red Army Air Force describe their airlifts to Warsaw. Included is the extraordinary film shot by the Poles themselves who used photo reporters and a special film unit to document the uprising. Today, two decades after the collapse of communism, hundreds of thousands of people gather at the Warsaw military cemetery on August lst, to mark the outbreak of the insurrection.The commemoration in Poland was considered an act of defiance during the communist era, which government authorities monitored but dared not stop. Understanding what happened in 1944 helps explain the nature of Polish opposition to communism. 001355660 521__ $$aFor High School; College; Adult audiences. 001355660 546__ $$aThis edition in English. 001355660 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945. 001355660 651_0 $$aWarsaw, Poland$$xHistory$$yUprising, 1944. 001355660 653_0 $$aHistory 001355660 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355660 7102_ $$aOctober Films. 001355660 7761_ $$cOriginal$$w(OCoLC)747796219 001355660 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1630951 001355660 901__ $$aASP1630951/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25170$$tbiblio 001355660 905__ $$uadmin 001355660 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355660$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355660 944__ $$a1784517 001355660 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355660 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355660 980__ $$aBIB 001355660 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355660 983__ $$aOnline
