    Default Warsaw Uprising

    Today there is 76th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising

    The Warsaw Uprising of 1944 — a heroic and tragic 63-day struggle to liberate World War 2 Warsaw from Nazi/German occupation. Undertaken by the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), the Polish resistance movement, at the time Allied troops were breaking through the Normandy defenses and the Red Army was standing at the line of the Vistula River.
    It is very improtant part of history. It is known for the bravery to fight with stronger enemy. Many civilians have been killed and city was ruined. There is a Museum of Warsaw Uprising(I was there and I recommend btw) and many movies. You can also hear the sirens all over the Poland at 5 PM which was the time when it started, called as Godzina W(hour W), to remember about it.



    Cześć i chwała bohaterom!

    What did Warsaw actually used to look like ? Before the war, I mean. Because after the Uprising it was reduced to rubble.



    Wake up and smell the coffee.

    Well, a lot of Jews used to live in the city for centuries before the Nazi occupation of Poland. I guess a lot of historical landmarks were either damaged or destroyed by the Nazis.

    For what I can gather, the Germans went Operation No Living Thing on it after the Uprising. Just about everything you see in the city center are post-war reconstructions which may or may not come close to what used to be there. And ooh: put that thumbs up in chalk, please. I owe you that one. The feature doesn't work right now.

    In 1980, Warsaw's Old Town was placed on the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites as "an outstanding example of a near-total reconstruction of a span of history covering the 13th to the 20th century.

    Probably large parts of the city were shitholes, there was Jewish quarters/ghettos everywhere.



    Yet other parts looked nice:

    I can say the same thing about Germany as well where many historical landmarks were also either damaged or destroyed by the allied forces, esp in Dresden and Berlin.

    Not unlike most cities at the time. We tend to get all teary-eyed about Rotterdam but a large part of what were hit were the slums around Coolsingel which were in the legal process of being set to being knocked over anyway.
