  Zygmunt Berling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berling did not participate in the Invasion of Poland against the German Wehrmacht in 1939.
Berling remained in prison until 1940, first in Starobielsk and later Moscow, but was fortunate to avoid the fate of many Polish officers murdered by the Soviets in the Katyn Massacre.
After the Sikorski-Maisky Pact of 17 August 1941 Berling was released from prison and nominated to be the commander of the recreated 5th Infantry Division, and later the commander of the temporary camp for Polish soldiers in Krasnowodsk.

 Warsaw Uprising - Part 10
This Division was one of three in the First Polish Army., commanded by the Polish General Zygmunt Berling.
On September 13, however, Berling’s Division stormed unchecked as far as the Vistula and the Kierbedzia Bridge.
Because of this, all attempts by General Berling’s units to cross the river show the same spirit of desperate and hopeless daring.

This was essentially a continuation of an operation in eastern Poland called Burza (Tempest), where AK formations had risen up against the Germans as the Red Army entered their sectors.
Burza had been a failure, however, because the Soviets simply arrested (or murdered) the higher-ranking AK officers and then absorbed the troops into Zygmunt Berling's Polish forces, fighting alongside the Red Army.
The AK rose on 1st August 1944, basing themselves on intelligence that the Red Army was nearly on the River Vistula.

 history of LWP
Among the few professional officers who survived the NKVD massacres and the exodus of the Polish Army to Persia was a pre war colonel named Zygmunt Berling.
By 1945 some of the fortifications were obsolete but with the addition of field works built in the summer of 1944 they proved to be a very difficult obstacle to cross.
New army commander gen. Poplawski (after the disastrous river crossing in Warsaw in September gen. Berling was removed from command of the army and sent to Moscow to attend a military college) split the army into two assault groups with 1st division spearheading the right column of the army.

 [No title]
The Soviets wanted the world to believe (and to a great degree did believe themselves) that the oppressed populations were eagerly awaiting liberation by the Red Army, and any armed resistance beyond enemy lines would be in support of that army.
Nevertheless, the commanding general, Zygmunt Berling, disregarding heavy losses, tried his best to help the insurgents, sending troops and supplies from Praga to the fighting town.
But under mounting German attacks they suffered such heavy losses that late in September 1944 Berling was compelled to stop his operations in support of the dwindling uprising.

Officers were interned in NKVD camps, where they were offered a choice between remaining there or joining the Polish army of Zygmunt Berling, formed under the aegis of the Soviet Union.
Officers and soldiers who refused to enlist in Berling's army were sent to distant gulags, along with their comrades from Vilnius and Lviv.
The exact number of those imprisoned as a result of Operation Tempest is still not known; estimates vary between 25,000 and 30,000.

 The Siberic Gehenna: The Millions of Poles Deported to the USSR in 1939-41
Later, beginning in November 1943, a second Polish Army began to be formed on Soviet territory.
Commanded by Colonel and later General Zygmunt Berling, it was to be called colloquially "Berling’s Army." It was partly made up of deportees who had not managed to join in time the one formed earlier.
However, as the Russians advanced into what had been Poland’s eastern territories, many of its soldiers were recruited there.
