The Uprising, which was encouraged by Stalin, had given the Polish people renewed hope that Poland would soon be liberated. British and American promises for military assistance convinced the Poles to continue fighting to the very bitter end. However, unbeknowst to Prime Minister Mikolajczyk, Churchill and Roosevelt had already ceded Polish territory to Stalin at the Teheran Conference a year before. For 63 days the Poles fought in vain, waiting for help that would never arrive. A tragedy more brutal than capitulation was the relevation that the Allies aided and abeted Stalins chicanery. In a final coup de grace, Prime Minister Churchill sent an official letter today to Polish Prime Minister Mikolajczyk. The following is an excerpt: My Dear Excellency, I received with deep sorrow your letter telling me that resistance had ceased in Warsaw. As you know, we were anxious to do everything in our power to bring assistance to General Komorowski’s forces and nothing but insuperable difficulties of weather and geography prevented our assistance being more effective. https://youtube/watch?v=g05pgcDfkJo
