Warsaw Ghettograd - The 1943 Uprising

81 years ago this week, in the Polish capital Warsaw, desperate Jewish fighters fought a long and bloody battle against Himmler's SS, the Germans determined to crush the Jewish Ghetto revolt with the utmost brutality. This is an omnibus edition of the story of the uprising, nicknamed 'Ghettograd' by the Germans as the fighting resembled that at Stalingrad.

[@Kee2Oz]

Self preservation likely. SS who let these things happen and SS who weren't capable of handling it, would be sent to the front. Ruthlessness sure, but I think the purpose was to capture their efforts to stop the uprising. It wouldn't be in their best interest to be caught on a photo looking inept or merciful.

I read a book some years ago about General Stroop, much of it repeated conversations he had with his cellmate after the war. Stroop was an unrepentant Nazi. I recall Stroop boasted that when he began the assault on the Ghjetto he got a phone call from Himmler who said something like. "The overture is good: Play on." or words to that effect. A very grim period in history.

[@frankmorlock1403]

@@olseneudezet1 You are correct. I asked PERPLEXITY a new chat research gbt and it came up with the answer. It was published in English in 1982. I then went to amazon and located it. I had once thought it would make a good play (I write plays) and when I went to the Amazon site I found it had been dramatised by a Polish dramatist .

[@ericcarlson3746]

'In late May 1947, Stroop was flown to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport, and extradited to the People's Republic of Poland. He was extradited with Erich Muhsfeldt. He recalled, "My heart sank when I saw those Polish officers at Tempelhof. So, the Americans were liars after all! They promised me time and again I'd never be given to the Communists and my death sentence for killing the U.S. airmen would be commuted to life imprisonment."' = wikipedia

While, I was researching the Conversations with an Executioner: on Amazon I discovered that there was a stage adaptation by a Polish author and that the play had been translated into English. The price was a little steep over 125 U.S. Dollars.. Too rich for my blood, but I think my judgment that Stroop's story could be dramatized was validated.

[@Ass_of_Amalek]

to be clear, '44 was the warsaw uprising, '43 was the warsaw gh°°to uprising. the gh°°to was b°mbed, burned and dep°rted out of existence in '43. the general uprising was undertaken by the whole polish resistance, they started it in such a way as to narrowly preempt the advancing red army's capture of the city, to divide german defensive efforts, reduce destruction of the city by avoiding much of the heavy b°mbardment, and assert some degree of security forces function and associated polish political autonomy. this turned out to be a tragic miscalculation, because the soviets decided that opposing that last point of polish autonomy was their priority, so they halted their advance to avoid linking up with the warsaw uprising, and the germans had such a particular hatred for partisans that they prioritized putting down the uprising, before focusing back on the red army and getting pushed out of warsaw. so instead of gaining influence by substantially contributing to driving the germans out of warsaw rather than waiting for the soviets to do it, the polish resistance lost influence by rising up, because this just got a lot of their members k°°led.

can you do an episode purley dedicated to the actions of the kempetai(japanese secret police)

[@TezKingboom]

Would need to get access to documents etc to do it. Do you have connections to help him with that with the jdf or whoever in japan looks after old imperial army records?

Incredible story of the horrors and heros of the past.. it flabbergasts me to see we have people calling for a repeat of this with sayings like “from the river to the sea…”
