Apparently the 14th Waffen SS was unique in that it was the sole branch of the Nazis that didn’t do anything Nazi like, and never attacked the other Allies. Nope, just fought the communists.

How convenient.

    Winston Church calling the Armiya Krayova delusional is a hilarious wake-up call.

    I also find it incredibly hard to believe that anyone with a functioning brain would believe Ander’s lie about the operation being anti-Nazi.

      He called London Government delusional, not sure about AK. Its leadership certainly was though.

      Anders didn’t lied in this case he said the operation was militarily against Germans, which it was, combat was against Germans and in some places the operation was a success and when Red Army came, AK just stood down because there was an order not to engage them.

      The really tragic and suicidal part was just Warsaw Uprising.

        I understand that it was militarily against the Germans, but it seems like that wasn’t the primary “spiritual” intent. You’re right though.

        Yeah, that was horrific. Its so sad that despite the guns on their side, the Nazis had the Warsaw fighters outnumbered and outgunned.
