October Uprising 1944

The October Uprising of 1944 was a large-scale revolt by Polish resistance fighters against Nazi German occupation during World War II. Organized by the Polish Home Army, it aimed to free Warsaw from German control before Soviet forces arrived. However, the uprising was poorly coordinated with the advancing Soviets and lasted 63 days, resulting in heavy casualties and widespread destruction. Ultimately, it failed to achieve its goal, and the Germans regained control, but it became a symbol of Polish resistance and national spirit amid the occupation.
