Warsaw Uprising atrocities

During the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, German forces committed many atrocities against Polish civilians, following the order by Hitler to raze the city and "turn it into a lake". More than 300,000 Poles were killed in the uprising.[73][168] Out of 450,000 surviving civilians, 250,000 were sent to labour camps in Germany, and 50,000 to 60,000 were shipped to death and concentration camps. After the rising had ended, the Germans continued to systematically destroy the city. The city was left in ruins. Neither Erich von dem Bach-Zalewski nor Heinz Reinefarth were ever tried for their Warsaw Uprising atrocities.

The role of Soviets is debated by historians. Questions are asked about the Soviet halting their advance on the city and denying the use of their airfields to the RAF and US air force.
