The Warsaw Uprising (''Powstanie Warszawskie'') was a controversial armed struggle during the Second World War by the Polish Home Army (''Armia Krajowa'') to liberate Warsaw from German occupation and Nazi rule.
Instead, efforts of the Soviet-backed Armia Ludowa were glorified and exaggerated.
In the West, the story of the Polish fight for Warsaw with little support was an embarrassment, as was the shock of Home Army soldiers as Western Allies recognised the Soviet controlled pro-Communist regime installed by Stalin; as a result, the story was not publicised for many years.
