The Warsaw Uprising was a tragedy. The Poles started it hoping that the Soviet troops just on the other side of the river would come to their aide. The Soviets sent in a Polish unit that suffered heavy casualties, so the Soviets stayed back. Everyone fought, men, women, most famously the Boy scouts and Girl Guides. The US tried to airdrop supplies but missed their zones. The Germans finally broke the resistance by forcing Polish civilians to walk in front of their troops as human shields. Afterwards the Germans forced everyone from the city, some being sent to the concentration camps, and leveled 95% of Warsaw to the ground. To this day every August the city of Warsaw stops and remembers W-hour

I actually researched this moment a while ago. Soviets didn't helped not because they didn't wanted to, but because they simply couldn't. It happed because they suffered heavy losses in a tank battle of Radziemin. Also their supply line were overextended due to rapid success of Bagration offensive operation. At the same time, the German units received fresh reinforcements (which later almost defeated the 3rd Tank Corps of General Vedeneev. And yes, the Soviet troops were indeed on the "other side", but how close? In fact, the first Soviet units approached the Visla river only in mid-September 1944, when the uprising was already suppressed and all the bridges were blown up by the Germans. The Soviet General Staff (Stavka) knew about the Warsaw uprising, but they could not do anything about it, because they themselves were subjected to constant artillery shelling and the harsh and strong counterattack from the Wehrmacht. It is believed (which was also noted by the Soviet Marshal Rokossovsky (a Pole by origin)) that the reason for the failure of the Warsaw uprising was ... ego. The ego of the commander of the Home Army (Armia Krajowa), Tadeusz Komorowski, who did not want the city to be liberated by the Red Army. On August 1, he ordered the start of the uprising when the nearest Red Army forces were 500 kilometers from the Polish capital. When the leaders of the Home Army realized that they could not cope on their own, they contacted the leadership of the Red Army and they began to use aviation in a limited way (it was difficult to bomb the city point-by-point on German positions).

Around when this song came out I had a conversation with some of my army and marine friends (descriptor of their backgrounds, not mine) as well as a polish friend while playing video games. The pol said something I’d always known but never put into words. “For you, the 2nd great war ended in your grandfather’s days. It’s history. For me, it ended when I was ten and the Soviet Union collapsed. I grew in occupation.”

Yes, some parts of the video included real footage of the Warsaw uprising (which was the biggest uprising of WWII, started by the Polish resistance to try to win our capital back before the Soviets do it - sadly, it failed due to lack of any outside help, and resulted in over 200 000 casualties, mostly civilians, and something like 80% of Warsaw being completely destroyed either in the fight or afterwards methodically exploded and burned down by the Germans in revenge). I highly recommend watching the Sabaton history video corresponding to this song (the band has a separate channel where they discuss the history behind each of their songs with an actual historian). As for not-WWII songs by Sabaton - try e.g. "Carolus Rex" (about a Swedish king), "Winged Hussars" (17th century siege of Vienna and the biggest cavalry charge in history) or "Shiroyama" (about the last battle of the Samurai). I also very recommend their "No Bullets Fly" animation. It's an amazing (and true, of course) WWII story - just bring some tissues!

If anyone scrolls down far enough and is curious then have some knowledge: 1. The "P" sign, with the bottom that looks like a fishing hook that was shown a couple times in the clips, is a combination of P and W and means "Polska walcząca" so in English "fighting Poland", during the whole war scouts and children too young to actually fight would paint it on walls and building to remind people to never give up hope 2. One more thing they would paint was "pPp" or a turtle for "pracuj Polaku powoli", which roughly translates to "Poles, work slowly", since a lot of Poles were forced to work in factories supplying Nazis people making the signs urged them to make the items as slowly as possible to inconvenience the oppressors

The greatest travesty was that the Hermans left not a single building standing. Warsaw was -ground into dust- and removed from Nazi maps, erased from existence. Today’s Warsaw is actually a reconstruction, based as close as possible on old remnant maps and pictures and paintings left over, as well as returning citizens offering their memories as to what the city needed to look like in areas.

Fun fact about this video: Yes, your eyes do not deceive you, you do see Peter Stormaire in the video. In case you were wondering, he plays the Russian cosmonaut in Armageddon (1998), Command & Conquer 3: Red Alert (2004?), and the Czech god of death in American Gods. Other than Bill Skarsgåard, he is my favorite actor. And I would suggest, if you want to see another epically-produced video, I recommend Christmas Truce.

Although the exact number of casualties is unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 Polish civilians died, mostly from mass executions. Jews being harboured by Poles were exposed by German house-to-house clearances and mass evictions of entire neighbourhoods. German casualties totalled over 2,000 to 17,000 soldiers killed and missing
