Sabaton - Uprising (Lyrics English & Deutsch)

The Warsaw Uprising against the German occupying forces started on 1 August 1944 facing the Soviet Operation Bagration. About 40,000 soldiers of the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa) under General Count Tadeusz Komorowski (1895-1966) tried to liberate the Polish capital city before the Red Army's invasion. A victorious upheaval against the German occupiers was meant to be a symbol of a strong and prospective independent Poland.
After fierce house-to-house fightings in the streets of Warsaw in the first days the Poles controlled substantial parts of the city, when gradually German SS and police units under General of the SS Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski (1899-1972) gained the upper hand. The British Royal Air Force supported the Poles with weapons and supply goods.
On 2 October 1944 the Polish formations had to ground arms. About 180,000 Poles, mostly civilians, had lost their lifes. Especially SS and police units committed numerous massacres.
Finally German formations destroyed the majority of the nearly deserted capital.

----------
Der Warschauer Aufstand gegen die deutschen Besatzer begann am 1. August 1944 angesichts der sowjetischen Operation Bagration. Die rund 40.000 Soldaten der polnischen Heimatarmee (Armia Krajowa) unter Führung von General Graf Tadeusz Komorowski (1895-1966) versuchten, die polnische Hauptstadt vor dem Einmarsch der Roten Armee aus eigener Kraft zu befreien. Eine siegreiche Erhebung gegen die deutschen Besatzer sollte das Symbol eines starken und künftig unabhängigen Polen sein.
Nach erbittert geführten Häuserkämpfen in den Straßen Warschaus brachten die polnischen Verbände in den ersten Tagen bedeutende Teile der Stadt unter ihre Kontrolle, bevor deutsche SS- und Polizeieinheiten unter SS-General Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski (1899-1972) allmählich die Oberhand gewannen. Unterstützung erhielten die Polen durch die britische Royal Air Force, die wiederholt Waffen und Versorgungsgüter per Fallschirm über Warschau abwarf.
Am 2. Oktober 1944 mussten die polnischen Verbände in Warschau die Waffen strecken. Rund 180.000 Polen, die meisten von ihnen Zivilisten, hatten ihr Leben verloren. Vor allem SS- und Polizeieinheiten verübten zahllose Massaker.
Schließlich zerstörten deutsche Verbände einen Großteil der nahezu menschenleeren Hauptstadt.

The Russians said they would put a pontoon over the river to allow the remaining Poles across to escape, then they layer down a heavy smoke cover to 'put the pontoon up'. My grandad stayed behind to cover the group and when the smoke cleared, it was revealed that the Russians had lied and that there was no pontoon. He was arrested by Nazi Germany and eventually liberated from a concentration camp.

Look at Polish history and you will find a brave independent people who for the 100 years of the partition of their country never lost hope to regain national sovereignty, and in fact attempting to take matters into their own hands in the form of a couple of major revolts during the 19th century (one of the largest was the 1853 Duchy of Warsaw which was brutally crushed by the Tsar).

The Soviets refused to help at all. The Allies tried to use Soviet airbases to supply the rebellion, however the Soviets refused. They were forced to fly in supplies from Britain and we're not able to take as much due to the length of the trip. Also, the Soviets fired at Allied planes that accidentally wandered into Soviet airspace. (I don't regard the Soviet Union as part of the Allies during WWII. They were their own side.)

Eventually, he regained mobility and deployed back to Vietnam, where he was shot, bayoneted, and bludgeoned several times evacuating wounded troops and securing sensitive materials. And he still didn't die. In WWII, the 36th Infantry Division (AKA Lone Star Division) - a Texas National Guard unit - had 14 members awarded the Medal of Honor.

Poland's resistance is one of the defining moments in the Second World War. In the end it was Soviet politics that ended them. Stalin's forces sat just outside Warsaw and watched the city burn as the Nazis leveled the city.

[@ZephyrusMapping]

Soviets were trying hard to get to Warsaw but it was impossible for them to get there in time to help the Polish uprising. And that was exactly the point of the uprising, getting the city back before the Soviets take it.

[@ZORO12ful]

+Zephyrus Mapping The Uprising was timed exactly so the Soviets would get in time to help the Polish resistance. Too bad that the USSR was on its own side rather than the Allied one , they stopped at the outskirts of the city , waited for the rebellion to be destroyed so they can barge in and kill , rape , pillage without opposition.

[@Citizen_Snips1]

+Zephyrus Mapping Stalin actually intentionally did not help since the polish resistance was against communism so Stalin let them be destroyed so he could take Poland without opposition from what i know.

[@douglasmasters9051]

Indeed. The Polish Home Army was dead-set against Stalin and the main point of the Uprising was to liberate Poland before the Soviets 'liberated' them. In the end, Poland became a Soviet buffer state and Stalin had his own secret police round up and 'remove' any surviving members of the Home Army.

raptor cell. that is true but once they realized all the odds are against them they didnt give up either. only a few tried to swim across the river but that was to gain supplies and ammo once they ran out

How about USSR? help that never came...

[@madguygaming4821]

yea i guess

[@dreadreaver55]

More than just 'help that never came.' It was a strategic move by the USSR to allow the Nazis and Polish rebels to kill each other and just wait until the Nazis crush the rebellion. Had the USSR supported the rebels, it would have given legitimacy to the Polish home government. The Soviets obviously had other plans to install a communist puppet state. In fact, when they eventually 'liberated' Warsaw, they persecuted surviving rebels as 'Nazi collabators'.

If I ever became a history teacher, I would say "Fuck the American school system" and teach my students whatever I wanted. I'd teach them about the Polish Uprising during WWII, how Sweden nearly took over most of Europe under a King who started when he was only 15, how 40 Belgian soldiers defended their homeland from a widely outnumbering Nazi onslaught. I would teach everything, and play Sabaton almost every single day.

[@historystories5990]

"Hey, Timmy, what do you know about the American civil war. Since you're american, you probably know quite a lot, right?" "I don't know anything about the American civil war, but I do know about some retard from Sweden who got himself killed because he was being a retard."

Today, i Had in school presentation about polish uprisings bc of 11 november( independence day) and on gym all school was listening about polish uprising in warsaw from sabaton.

[@hollymanning948]

Now Sabaton needs to make a song about the Miracle on the Vistula when the Poles were heavily outnumbered, out gunned, and literally needed a "Hail Mary" well... She showed up... The Communists under Lenin at the front lines turn and ran when they saw the blessed mother with angels carrying flaming swords being cast against them. Poland is very Catholic and to this day many honor what the blessed mother did for them that day and all of Europe. One of the ideas for the lyrics I had "Against the Poles, a Hoard of red, an army of demons poised like a serpent a final charge the Communists made "HURRY COMRADES OVER THE VISTULA RIVER VICTORY IS OURS" over the mist of the river Vistula came a Polish priest to meet the enemy in full charge bearing a cross holding it straight at them, standing before them he made a call to God a Hail Mary he prayed Struck down by enemy bullets a price in blood was paid a sacrifice to God he became, Mary through the clouds brought reinforcements Angels with flaming swords, warriors of God appeared making the Red Army retreat crushing Lenins dream of a Red Europe on that fateful day A Miracle on the Vistula was made! Chorus or Break Down (The part they repeat between parts of the song) Miracle on the Vistula, a battle spiritually and physically fought, Lenins evil plots thwarted by the holy mother of God!" What yall think?

[@EmXena315]

I think that's because America's songs are about them coming in as heroes and kicking Nazi and Japanese ass, as we did. The songs about France, Greece, and Poland and Russia are more about fighting in the face of odds no matter what your fate may be.

[@majesticfirebird2310]

Life isn't fair, and Poland's suffering over the past 80-ish years proves that. Not only were they repressed by the nazi occupation, roughly a year before the war ended the soviet union set a communist regime there which lasted for more than 50 years before the poles finally regained their independence in 1989. The USA and NATO really should've done more to help the eastern bloc.

[@Maddeleinx94]

I hate how there are these stupid prejudices about Polish People in my country, which some people actually believe. But if I ask them for example, how the polish flag does look like, they don’t even know! Especially here in Germany people should not talk about Poland like that! I do love Poland so much! It is such an impressing country with people who never give up! The song is so awesome I actually cried. Thank you for uploading it and for the translations~

Do you remember when, when the Russians forced their rule on Crimea 2014 and the allies turned away From the underground rose a hope of freedom as a whisper City in despair, but they never lost their faith Women, men and children fight They were dying side by side And the blood they shed upon the streets Was a sacrifice willingly paid Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 2022 help that never came Calling Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!' Spirit soul and heart In accordance with the old traditions 2022 still the allies turn away Fighting street to street In a time of hope and desperation Did it on their own and they never lost their faith Women, men and children fight They were dying side by side And the blood they shed upon the streets Was a sacrifice willingly paid Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 2022 help that never came Calling Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!' All the streetlights in the city Broken many years ago Break the curfew, hide in sewers Warsaw, it's time to rise now All the streetlights in the city Broken many years ago Break the curfew, hide in sewers Warsaw, it's time to rise now Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom 2022 help that never came Calling Warsaw city at war Voices from underground, whispers of freedom Rise up and hear the call History calling to you, 'Warszawo, walcz!'

THIS is WWII Not the stuff I got taught (in the UK), we did WWII for half a year and you can simplify what I learnt in that time into: "Germany, the bad guys invaded Poland in 1939, Poland got destroyed, then we, the good guys and 'amazing allies to Poland', were the only strong country and we have low supplies and germany is bombing us and we have these shelters and then we beat germany and saved the world," We had like 2 lessons of this per week and this is what we learnt Also in one of the final lessons a boy asked if germany is in the uk... well
