>I get it but they still could have still been heroic and survived if they waited until the soviets actually arrived and attacked then.
the Soviets would have turned the guns against them just as they did in 1939 when they allied with the Germans to invade Poland. plus AK were mostly anti-communists who did not want Bolshevik ideology in the country (for many reasons, and many AK members were former Army and had already fought either the Germans or the Russians in 1939).
>Like I don't even get what their plan was. They wanted to be in control of the city as the soviets arrived?
The plan was ultimately a false hope that the germans would withdraw under pressure from the uprising in combination with advances made by the Red Army. it was then very naively hoped the Red Army would have given the city space and not annexed it, but ultimately this was quite foolish in terms of expectations. although there were many who just were tired of the abuses and violence that made up life in German occupation.
>Warsaw could either fight with the Germans or fight with the Soviets
we are Poles we fight everybody. its our nature. we prefer to die rather than submit to foreign and hostile ideologies. communism here didnt really last that long, barely a generation of people. my grandfather for example was just a boy during all of this and his father was a miner who often got into street fights with the communist police.

hungary bulgaria and serbia do not have patriotic militias on the borders right now. we are not arrogant at all, we are just proud of what we have and thankful for the generations that preferred blood than slavery. so it's a good thing. we are very different from germans as you guys mostly follow authority.

it sounds like you haven't been to Poland. to be honest i dont really believe you are ethnically German either. germans are not really this bitter so i have some suspicions about your ethnicity.
