Anniversary of the Warsaw uprising of the Polish Home Army 1 August – 2 October 1944 Ewa Faryaszewska (1920-1944) - Museum of Warsaw, Public Domain Generally speaking, I don’t like to go into World War II, because I view it as a nasty history for Europeans, about which few people alive had anything to do - therefore, I prefer to uncouple the ethnonationalist cause from it - and especially from Nazism - for the sake of Germans perhaps especially. However, because a needless and counterproductive tendency to try to fully exonerate and redeem Hitler and the Nazis persists - e.g., Mark Collette and “ComfyTangent” recommending that people attend to the schlock revisionism of “The Greatest Story Never Told”; David Duke persisting in blaming anyone but Hitler for WWII - there is yet need to address the issue enough to put it to rest for anyone reasonable - not something to expect from the Stormfront crowd, e.g; and many have not yet gotten Dr. Lindtner’s message regarding the disingenuousness of Faurisson and other revisionists. We will be engaging podcasts on the matter with a Swedish colleague, et al. in days to come to straighten-out the record on WWII - why White Nationalism need not and should no be burdened with Hitler/Nazi association, denial, let alone its idealization and idolatry. In the meantime, while you will hear a great deal from American White Nationalists about the terrible fire-bombing of Dresden, you can expect them to remain irresponsibly silent (or make revolting excuses) regarding events like the quelling of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. If anyone has better information to add, they are welcome, but again, because I don’t like going into WWII history, at this point I’ll merely set forth a textual sketch of the event from Wikipedia and this video: Polish resistance: Berlin 1st Army: 5,660 casualties[7] Poland 1944–45: The Warsaw Uprising (Polish: powstanie warszawskie; German: Warschauer Aufstand) was a major World War II operation, in the summer of 1944, by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa), to liberate Warsaw from German occupation. The uprising was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance.[9] While approaching the eastern suburbs of the city, the Red Army temporarily halted combat operations, enabling the Germans to regroup and defeat the Polish resistance and to raze the city in reprisal. The Uprising was fought for 63 days with little outside support. It was the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during World War II.[10] The Uprising began on 1 August 1944 as part of a nationwide Operation Tempest, launched at the time of the Soviet Lublin–Brest Offensive. The main Polish objectives were to drive the Germans out of Warsaw while helping the Allies defeat Germany. An additional, political goal of the Polish Underground State was to liberate Poland’s capital and assert Polish sovereignty before the Soviet-backed Polish Committee of National Liberation could assume control. Other immediate causes included a threat of mass German round-ups of able-bodied Poles for “evacuation”; calls by Radio Moscow’s Polish Service for uprising; and an emotional Polish desire for justice and revenge against the enemy after five years of German occupation.[11][12] Initially, the Poles established control over most of central Warsaw, but the Soviets ignored Polish attempts to maintain radio contact with them and did not advance beyond the city limits. Intense street fighting between the Germans and Poles continued. By 14 September, the eastern bank of the Vistula River opposite the Polish resistance positions was taken over by the Polish troops fighting under the Soviet command; 1,200 men made it across the river, but they were not reinforced by the Red Army. This, and the lack of air support from the Soviet base five-minute flying time away, led to allegations that Stalin tactically halted his forces to let the operation fail and the Polish resistance to be crushed. Arthur Koestler said the Soviet disposition will rank on an ethical level with Lidice.”[13] Winston Churchill pleaded with Stalin and Franklin D. Roosevelt to help Britain’s Polish allies, to no avail.[14] Then, without Soviet air clearance, Churchill sent over 200 low-level supply drops by the Royal Air Force, the South African Air Force, and the Polish Air Force under British High Command, in an operation known as the Warsaw Airlift. Later, after gaining Soviet air clearance, the U.S. Army Air Force sent one high-level mass airdrop as part of Operation Frantic. Although the exact number of casualties remains unknown, it is estimated that about 16,000 members of the Polish resistance were killed and about 6,000 badly wounded. 85% of Warsaw was destroyed deliberately by Hitler’s order that the city be razed. In addition, between 150,000 and 200,000 Polish civilians died, mostly from mass executions. Jews being harboured by Poles were exposed by German house-to-house clearances and mass evictions of entire neighbourhoods. German casualties totalled over 8,000 soldiers killed and missing, and 9,000 wounded. During the urban combat approximately 25% of Warsaw’s buildings were destroyed. Following the surrender of Polish forces, German troops systematically levelled another 35% of the city block by block. Together with earlier damage suffered in the 1939 invasion of Poland and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, over 85% of the city was destroyed by January 1945, when the course of the events in the Eastern Front forced the Germans to abandon the city.

It wasn’t Poland’s to give one way or the other. The Versailles Treaty made it a neutral city as it has been at times in history. “Benton Bradberry states that something like 50 000 Germans were killed by the Poles” Is that true? Look at this as an honest person and try not to laugh that people would believe this, from the cited book, “The Myth of German Villainy” by Brenton Bradburry.
Operation Himmler. Ok that’s Wikipedia, but at least it puts you well within the ball park, whereas Bradburry buys Goebbels utterly fallacious propaganda. * Regarding the Bromberg incident, it happened AFTER the Nazis had already invaded - it didn’t happen the way Nazi propaganda alleges; and for better or worse, there were reasons for the executions (e.g., their being suspected of sniping and Nazi partisan fifth column operations); but finally, the Nazis more than made up for it, executing ten times as many Polish civilians there in retaliation.

And in Poland, we think our losses were much bigger than those of other countries. But if you look at what Germany has compensated other Western European countries for their losses, like France or Belgium, for example, and what it has compensated Poland for our losses, you will see a discrepancy”.

Gariepy irresponsibly helps Thomas Goodrich to promote long discredited Nazi propaganda to the detriment of ethnonational solidarity. Not only that, for whatever perceived grievances on the Nazi German side, there is no historical context provided of the other side’s grievances. Operation Himmler, Part II. J.F.

Posted by Why your bubble protects an illusion on Mon, 22 Oct 2018 23:05 | # Interesting that if one so much as intimates the slightest defense of Poland (e.g., against chauvinism and imperialism) that you will project your mindless German chauvinism (a troll accused me of being a “mindless Polish chauvinist” and said MR was unpopular because of it); with a reactionary part of a large demographic under more direct pressure of PC lies, thus going with the pretense that it cares for sheer truth by reaction - it is backed by Jewry as the third default position:
2) Christianity as it places Whites mindlessly under the yoke of Abrahamic law (the golden rule is mindless; the gentiles are not ethnicity organized as such). 3) Failing that, they will encourage Nazism - the clear chauvinism - as they know it will repulse most normal people and lead to antagonism among Whites. ..perhaps take care of some ‘traitorous’ Jews all too intermarried with Germans, Poles and other ‘goyim.’ 4) Failing that they will encourage motley and sundry no-account, right wing reactions that help to atomize would-be White organization and coordination: a) No account scientism, objectivism for the higher i.q. b) Conspiracy theories; and ideologies beyond reality and verification for the less intelligent or to cover that part of their intelligence that isn’t (lacks judgment).
Enabling some stupid dude like yourself to absurdly accuse me of “mindless Polish chauvinism”, if I defend ethnonationalism. Nor am I a chauvinist of any kind. I’m ethnonationalist, defending ethnonationalism of all kinds, but the European kind and its coordination to begin with. Nazism is the clear imperialist supremacism, programmatic of disaster. And scientism - viz., scientistic reaction - is the mindlessness that lets it be guided headlong to disaster. Get with the reality of praxis, get with the ethnonational program. 14

Posted by No, let's stick with the Nazis to blame. on Sat, 01 Aug 2020 14:46 | #
I must disagree with the sentiment here. It’s far better to take the weight off of the Germans per se, especially subsequent generations, and place the burden on the Nazi regime and those who went along with it (who were thus, Nazis). Tarring all Germans and leaving them no route of distinction from the Nazi regime is no way to move forward and foster good neighborly relations among nations. The Poles would not appreciate it, and quite rightly not, if the entire nation of their people were blamed for the misdeeds of some rogue regime of theirs from history.
