Notes

• there were no.polish flags marching on v-day in london
• 435 its possible to lose the war but save the nation - Bolek Krzywousty
• 434 the third way - progressive and democfatic union with west to save Poland from russia
• 432 military takeover by Russia only starts the complete enslavement of polish spirit. But we avoided the subjugation of our minds. Church still rules the would, workers rebelled, peasants did not collectivize, youth was a moral force. 1944 remained an inspiration. 1944 led to 1956.
• 430 Sikorski - joined civil and military rule. Poles had a delusion that the outside was paying attention to them.
• 421 Bor did well. Readers Digest article followed. Hated talking about himself.
• 420 now Bor had to win over the world's opinion, in face of Russian propaganda
• 419 Bor was freed by US army from German captivity. Went to London.
• 415 Morton was another Russophile. Concept: since ruskis were allies, any russophobia was not allowed, evening the face of Russian murderous behavior
• 412 peak moment - all the world press meets Nowak in London
• 409 in prison code of ethics protects fellow prisoners, even if enemies
• 408 got caught, spies in the Polish house

• 389 Stuttgart bombed out.
• 385 - 'Zo' organized Nowak as a sawmill worker, going to Freiburg

• 380 Tabor was a vatnik in the Polish government in exile
• 376 - Okulicki o zdrajcach - Beda musieli wybierac miedzy kula niemiecka albo polska.
• 376 - Okulicki told how Stalin liked him at a freeing party. NKVD tried recruiting some polish generals to their side.
• 375 - Niedzwiadek - the last General - lived like a pauper in the last days after the uprising
• 375 - they prepped a garrison that would broadcast murder of polish government enclave by the russians - a message to London.
• 375 AK - to disappear as resistance to soviets. Go into sleep mode, then wake with enough power. How to resolve the livelihood question? Only via independent wealth.
• 366 during difficult time, you can tell ashes from diamonds
• 365 mistake: they radioed for AK help to Warsaw from all over Poland. This brought about countermeasures by the Germans. It should have been called out more secretly. Born was captured in capitulation, Niedzwiedzik was successor.
• 362 - riff between London and Warsaw. Some saw London as the leaders, but the Warsaw crew did not share the submission to gummit in exile
• 357 - Warsaw peeps did not want to capitulate aft 62 days
• 358 They failed to shoot their dog. Gun misfired thrice. Dog survived evac.
• 356 sewer guides were necessary so people don't get lost
• 355/ Polish general even gave Russians a phone connection. They never called.
• 351 it got so FUBAR that the only safe space was hugging close to e emy soldiers free from bombardment or howitzers
• 348/electricity went out. Grenade micro factory had a generator, so they could continued UE to broadcast
• 347 - Bor - looked like shit after going through canals for 30 days. Propaganda war vs Russians was crucial throughout.
• 346 gruesome.scenes of AK vs howitzers. It turned out thus move was completely unnecessary - they were able to squeeze out through the canals a day later
• 342 ruskis prevented London planes from landing to refuel
• 341 - unexploded shell - with 300 kg of explosives. Was used to make grenades. Grenades and carbines of their own production.
• 337 instead of couriers, started using shortwave in Warsaw to communicate
• 335 this was the first and only case where radio reporting was delivered straight from a occupied battlefield
• 334 air drops. Russians did not protect English planes. Aft 2 weeks, radio messages were from nally picked up in London. 100W.
• 327 German firebombing starts, Russian fighter planes stop, Russian arty stops. This is day 4. Concept: inform London of Uprising, or Ruskis will deny it ever happened
• 325 tribunal and execution of Nazi traitor
• 324 excitement like never before or after
• 323 barricades made spontaneously, rapidly, by hand. Armored vehicle comes, with PW
• 322 -rather chaotic. No mans land. Some buildings captured by Poles, some by Germans.
• 320 - uprising starts. Many armored vehicles ambushed. Polish flag up on prudential building,
• 318 uprising would help Bolsheviks take warsaw, some critiqued
• 316 if powstanie did. Of happen, Russian commies would fake one.

• 300 Landing. Runway lit by fire.
• 298 - Colonel Hudson was dropped into Poland after red army took over. Imprisoned, freed after Yalta.
• 296 2% of airdrops went to Poland. Political bullshit. But during the Uprising, most of our pilots lost their lives supplying Warsaw
• 295 - as soon as Russians entered, they created Armia Ludowa to further undermine Polish independence.
• sosnkowski thought it would be genocide in Poland, a la Ukraine.
• 290 - poles were open to showing world that they are also fighting for their own land - via an uprising. Or even standing up to Russian terror militarily. But another strategy was to conform to allied wishes of not pissing off Russia.
• 283 - interest in allies helping AK went away after Normandy success
• 280 - thought Warsaw would not believe the betrayal. Because clearly it is against the western interest, and thus defies logic.
• 276 - UK was to leave the war weaker than it entered. East Europe was never its interest, outside of German and Russian troubles. For reason of weakness, england can only appease.
• 275 Tatar byl naiwnym prymitywem politicznym, I rusofilem
• there was a chasm between united Poland and disunited London poles

• 249- polskie radio BBC was an arm of the Polish gummit in exile
• 247 - Jan Karski interpreted the sitch most accurately: withdrawal of the recognition of the Polish Govt in exile etc.
• 512 - Mr. Morton - was he a Russian spy or agent, is still not known. This is an important question and a good subject for School's Investigative Journalism 101. Important because we should know the real story of how one country went under 50 years of slavery.
• 244 Yugoslav resistance delayed track on Moscow by a month and by a winter, which saved Russia
• 240 - intrigue in the meeting with English officials - misrepresentation to Churchill. Was this Russian infiltration?
• 237 warsW poles were deluded that London would help. Courier heard it first in London.
• 232 already had to fight tankies (leftists who gobbled up soviet propaganda)

• 202 mikolajczyk - fuck the borders, just give us independence
• 200 sockets ran anti Sosnkowski propaganda in London papers
• P199 Shows interesting source on the sellout of Poland by the West. Possibility of. Becoming the 17th Soviet republic was real, and was recognized not in form but in fact
• Anglos gave up on the AK. To save face, they made it look like the Poles fault
• Mikolajczyk nie byl kalibru churchilla I edena
