Show Tragedy of War Polish sources reported recently that the Soviet Union had released re-leased 3,000 Polish officers, most of them leaders of a rebellion against Nazi rulers in Warsaw in 1944. It will be remembered that the Poles rose against the Germans in Warsaw before the Russians had captured the city. These Poles constituted a huge underground, which was supported by the Allies Al-lies especially the . British, and rose against the Germans when the Russians had reached the vicinity vi-cinity of Warsaw and its capture was expected momentarily. However, the Russians, shrewd and ruthless through and through sat back and did not press their attack on Warsaw and let the Nazis crush the Polish revolt. In other words, the brave Polish underground un-derground forces, who had fought the Germans off and on for all the years of captivity, were then slaughtered and the uprising put down by the Nazis, while the Russians stood only about twenty miles away. When the Russians came in, they set up their own Polish Government more to their liking than that of the underground patriots who had received their help from the Allies and Britain. This was Russia's way of seeing to it that a Russian-dominated government won control of freed Poland. |
