Polish glorious and strong armed forces *ROTFL*

Let's look at the uprising, shall we? The Poles were under armed, not recent
combat veterans and living on limited food rations. Most had never served in
the military. Stalin refused to let British or U.S. flights over Warsaw to land
in the Soviet Union since the uprising was on behalf of the government in exile
in England. Stalin saw the uprising as a drain on Nazi combat forces which it
was. Stalin saw the uprising as a way to eliminate potential opposition to his
postwar puppet government. Stalin finally "relented" just before the collapse
of the uprising, when the battle was doen to a very small area, and dropped
arms over Warsaw. Most of said arms landed into Nazi territory.

Had you been in Warsaw, been oppressed for several years, been promised outside
support and seen the Nazis as being distracted by losses on the eastern front,
what would you have done? How would you have fared against a better armed,
better trained and better fed army?

Now do some research on Polish history and you will find they were a fairly
typical European country constantly squabbling with neighbours. They won a few
and lost a few.
