 Warsaw Uprising - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [Anonymoused]
On October 2 General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski signed the capitulation of the remaining Polish forces ( Warszawski Korpus Armii Krajowej or Home Army Warsaw Corps) in the German headquarters in the presence of General von dem Bach.
Most of those sent to POW camps in Germany were later liberated by British, American and Polish forces and stayed in the West, including uprising leaders Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski and Antoni Chruściel, who stayed in London and the United States, respectively.
Knowledge of the Warsaw Uprising, inconvenient to Stalin, was twisted by propaganda of the People's Republic of Poland, which stressed the failings of Home Army and the Polish government-in-exile, and forbade all criticism of the Red Army or the political goals of Soviet strategy.

Komorowski's sense of honor and duty was legendary; he made no allowances for his family.

Besides, I was obligated by the rule of military secrecy to keep silent."(6) All that of course does not imply that Komorowski was right to have succumbed to the minority of the AK staff that had pushed for the Uprising.

However, it was the AK Warsaw commander Colonel Antoni Chrusciel ("Monter") who led the insurgents in the struggle, a crucial fact of which Borodziej informs us only on pages 142 and 146 of his book.
Having been appointed commander-in-chief of the Home Army after the arrest of his predecessor, General Stefan Rowecki ("Grot"), Komorowski indefatigably strove for the unity of the independentist underground.

 Sarmatian Review XIX.1: PolandÕs Holocaust
Author Tadeusz Piotrowski posits that along with a struggling economy, two problems above all others would ultimately contribute to Poland's holocaust in World War II: Poland's borders and Poland's sizeable minorities.
When war erupted in 1939, 'the radical members of these minorities, rather than supporting Poland in its hour of need, chose to side with the enemy and vied with one another in their support of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, hoping thereby to achieve their objectives at Polish expense.' (6)
Continuing along the lines of his previous work on interwar Poland, Polish-Ukrainian relations and Ukrainian nationalism, Tadeusz Piotrowski presents a detailed examination of collaboration with the Soviet and Nazi occupation forces of the ethnic minorities living mainly in the eastern provinces of pre-World War II Poland.
