Undaunted, however, the Poles formed an underground army, the Armia Krajowa (Home Army), and waited for a moment of German weakness. That moment seemed to have arrived in July 1944 as the Soviet armies began to advance into eastern Poland. The AK launched its revolt in Warsaw on 1 August 1944.Though its 5,000 fighters achieved some initial successes, the Germans were able to retain control over both the Vistula River bridges and the airbase, dooming the revolt to isolation and defeat. The SS was put in charge of suppressing the rebellion, beginning a wave of atrocities shocking even by Eastern Front standards.Featuring full-colour maps and archive photography throughout, this volume describes the desperate rebellion and its outcomes.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 248mmItem Length: 184mmItem Width: 8mmItem Weight: 352gAuthor: Robert ForczykIllustrator: Peter DennisContributor: Peter Dennis (Illustrated by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Military History, Law & PoliticsBook Series: CampaignRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
