The war began on September 1, 1939, when Poland was attacked by Germany, marking the start of World War II. The occupation of Poland lasted until May 8, 1945.
This documentary film highlights the uprisings in Europe during 1944, with a particular emphasis on the Warsaw Uprising, the largest military operation undertaken by the civilian resistance movement during World War II.
During the Warsaw Uprising, over 15,000 insurgents and 250,000 Polish civilians were killed. The entire population of Warsaw was expelled, and 85% of the city was systematically destroyed.
