There was ...Some points about your review article:<br /><br />There was no disbanded/failed uprising in Praga district before the actual battle for Warsaw.<br /><br />It was Britain not England who were hoped to help with air drops. Most Polish troops, including the Parachute Brigade who were due to be dropped to help the battle were stationed in Scotland.<br /><br />"...the first day witnessed many defeats and few successes"<br />This is not accurate, in fact the early successes were significant given the surprise element.<br /><br />I'm not sure exactly what the conclusions of the book are but it is hard to disagree with the fact that the Red Army didn't fail to support the battle, even though it can be argued politically and ideologically it would not be reasonable for them to do so.<br /><br />Regards,<br />John Pravoski BA(Hons) MA<br />john.pravoski@yahoo.co.uk<br /><br />I would appreciate it if you accredited any changes you make to me if you chose not to publish this comment.john.pravoskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11140820760252839784noreply@blogger.com
