#1 Kudos to him. I'm sick & tired of the WWII overbearing shadow, but as people who went through it are passing away, it moves in History, and Mr. Edelman had a role in a tragic yet heroic part of that History.

another ill-fated revolt meant to free the capital from Germans ahead of the advancing Red Army.
Polish fighters were slaughtered as the "advancing" red army stopped advancing for that very purpose, an another unpunished communist mass crime.

#2 The deadly struggle was "worth it ... even at the price of the fighters' lives," he said later. "They could not be saved, anyway."

But they died standing up and not kneeling. God bless them all.

#3 I have always recalled a line of poetry, supposedly written during the Warsaw Uprising, when the Soviet Armies were just over the horizon,
"We are waiting for thee, Red Pest,
To save us from the Black Death."
The Soviets, of course, were just waiting for the Uprising to be put down, before "liberating" Warsaw.
