It was a tragedy, a mistake, a massacre, and a waste of human life. Yes, glory to the heroes and ordinary soldiers. But the truth is, the Home Army command should never have allowed the uprising. After all, they knew how the Soviets were dealing with the Home Army in the Eastern Borderlands, and the Home Army was too weak to oppose the Bolsheviks and establish any kind of government in Poland. It was foolish and utterly naive to think that the Soviets, after the stabbing in the back in 1939, Katyn, and the questioning of the eastern borders, would aid the uprising and the insurgents. It only ended in the destruction of the capital and the destruction of the younger generation, because Poland would have ended up as a satellite of the USSR anyway.
The capital, despite unprecedented heroism in history, is doomed to destruction. We consider the outbreak of the uprising a grave crime and ask who bears responsibility for it.
