The Germans
brutally stamped out the Polish uprising. The leaders of the
uprising, members of the anti-Communist Polish underground, accused
the Soviets of having held back to allow the Germans to put down the
rebellion, and of having withheld their assistance. During the two
months of the uprising, 250,000 Poles lost their lives in a hopeless
attempt to rid themselves of Nazi occupation. In retaliation the
Germans exiled many of the Warsaw Poles and razed most of the city
to the ground.
