Scenario Description
The Polish Home Army uprising had commenced with the sounds of Soviet artillery heard in the distance. The first days of the uprising were wildly successful against the surprised Germans. Soon, however, the Germans ruthlessly struck back against the hopelessly outgunned Polish defenders. Regular troops, combat engineers, and armored support – including two of the fearsome Sturmtigers – appeared on the scene to end the resistance. Police General Reinefarth directed an attack with these new troops to reach the west bank of the Vistula.

Battle Name
Battle Narrative
The Warsaw Uprising was a major World War II operation, in the summer of 1944, by the Polish underground resistance, led by the Polish resistance Home Army, 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. 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 destroy the city in retaliation. 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.
