Warsaw Ghettograd - The 1943 Uprising

81 years ago this week, in the Polish capital Warsaw, desperate Jewish fighters fought a long and bloody battle against Himmler's SS, the Germans determined to crush the Jewish Ghetto revolt with the utmost brutality. This is an omnibus edition of the story of the uprising, nicknamed 'Ghettograd' by the Germans as the fighting resembled that at Stalingrad.

    It’s incredibly sobering and sad that very soon not a single veteran from WWII will be alive to share their stories. For rose vets that have passed I hope they find eternal peace in the next realm. For those still alive may the rest of your days be peaceful.

    to be clear, '44 was the warsaw uprising, '43 was the warsaw gh°°to uprising. the gh°°to was b°mbed, burned and dep°rted out of existence in '43. the general uprising was undertaken by the whole polish resistance, they started it in such a way as to narrowly preempt the advancing red army's capture of the city, to divide german defensive efforts, reduce destruction of the city by avoiding much of the heavy b°mbardment, and assert some degree of security forces function and associated polish political autonomy. this turned out to be a tragic miscalculation, because the soviets decided that opposing that last point of polish autonomy was their priority, so they halted their advance to avoid linking up with the warsaw uprising, and the germans had such a particular hatred for partisans that they prioritized putting down the uprising, before focusing back on the red army and getting pushed out of warsaw. so instead of gaining influence by substantially contributing to driving the germans out of warsaw rather than waiting for the soviets to do it, the polish resistance lost influence by rising up, because this just got a lot of their members k°°led.

I recall Stroop boasted that when he began the assault on the Ghjetto he got a phone call from Himmler who said something like. "The overture is good: Play on." or words to that effect. A very grim period in history.
