The Warsaw Uprising was one of World War II’s major insurrections and part of Akcja Burza – a series of anti-Nazi uprisings often referred to as Operation Tempest. Conducted by the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa), the riot aimed to throw off the shackles of the German occupation of Warsaw, but was finally oppressed 63 days after its outbreak.

In 1944 the already five-year-long occupation of the polish capital had left its mark on the city. Especially the Jewish inhabitants of Warsaw, as well as the intellectuals, suffered heavily under the cruel rule of the Nazi regime. But not before long a few first whispers of freedom began to roam through the streets of the city. Supported by the exiled Polish administration in London, the Polish Home Army tried to form the resistance against the oppressors, establishing its own social system for the oppressed. Plans were made to oust the Germans and regain the lost city.
