I wasn't sure where this really fit in, so will put it in OT for now. Many are familiar with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during the War, but this video covers the arms (or at least quantities) used by the resistance in the event. Pretty minimal would be putting it mildly. Another reason why the RKBA is so important.


(The second of the two does not appear to have been published yet.)
 
Short version:

Germany and then their ally USSR in turn a couple weeks later both attacked Poland. Britan, and thus France, immediately declared war on Germany over this act. Russia, as it turned out, had a diplomatic agreement with the Germans and after they had secured their half of Poland, then attacked Finland and took over about half of that country as well as staying in the half of Poland they overran.

But England could not be bothered with attacking or declaring war on the USSR. Then the Russians overran Bessarabia, part of Rumania, Estonia Latvia and then Lithuania. But that seemed to be OK. Does anyone know why that was fine with England? Yeah...me either.

The USSR had an agent high up in the US government. They tasked him (Harry David Weiss/White) with getting the US into a war with Japan as they had been at war with Japan in Mongolia in the late 30's and Japan was still there. In one battle the Japanese with the USSR had lost more men than the US lost in Vietnam, it was brutal. American newspapers started up with the "Yellow Peril" issue, getting us pleebs on board how horrid the "Japs" were. It worked too. White was successful in this endeavor and US policy caused the Japanese to finally attack the US Dec 7th at Pearl Harbor.

There were 2 Polish Governments in exile at this time. One was communist in Russia, one in England with lots of folks still at home. The Soviets, as they attacked and approached the river Vistula by Warsaw, asked for the Poles to resist and take up arms and attack the Germans to help them. They did. It was a brutal effort.

The Russians then waited while the battle in Warsaw played out. Stalin played dumb when asked why he first encouraged and then backed off. He lied and played both sides off...and waited while the Germans slaughtered the Poles. England dropped some supplies, but the USSR refused to allow them to land in Russian territory, making these airdrops crazy long and crazy risky. About a month in, the USSR then finally crossed the river after a couple hundred thousand poles had been killed. The USSR executed how many good poles? Hard to say, but the earlier Kayteyn Forest massacre was pretty harsh as a quick search will show you. Later, the Russian kept Poland as a trophy and the US and England let them do it. Remember that WW2 started to get the Germans out of Poland so that Poland could be free, which was part of German territory they lost in ww1 and they wanted it back. Turns out, the Germans never got it back. Interestingly, the german city Danzig became Gdansk (search on Lech Walensa).

Well, if you are Polish, what would you say about all that? I would refer folks to former President Herbert Hoovers seminal lifes work, the book: " Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath

It was indeed Freedom Betrayed. 349 identified Soviet Agents worked in the Roosevelt administration, and later, over 20,000 communists, sympathizers and USSR agents were driven out of US government posts. Both wars could have, and should have easily been, avoided.

Except for.....shrugs, do your research.
