The Warsaw uprising was a major World War II operation. In the summer of 1944, the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army/Armia Krajowa, took action to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The situation in Warsaw came to a head on 13 July 1944 as the Soviet offensive crossed the old Polish border. At this point the Poles had to make a decision: either initiate the uprising in the current difficult political situation and risk a lack of Soviet support, or fail to rebel and face Soviet propaganda describing the Home Army as impotent or worse, Nazi collaborators.
