Visiting Warsaw is impossible without coming across World War II, and the monument to the heroes of the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 is one of the most telling reminders of the period.
Probably the most courageous attempt by a population to defeat the Germans, the Warsaw Uprising was fought in August and September 1944. In a combined effort, soldiers and civilians worked together for 63 days to expell the Germans, to regain control over their own city. Despite their brave efforts and the initial success, the Poles lost after Hitler sent for reinforcements. As a punishment, the Germans decided to execute many civilians and destroy the Old Town block by block. At the end of the war, it is estimated that around 90% of the city was destroyed; US general Eisenhower was recorded to say during a visit in 1945 that he had not seen another European city as destroyed as Warsaw.
