Oh. Well. There were a large group of insurgents that rose in Warsaw in 1944. The US was already at war with Germany at that time and in that sense can be said to have been aiding the insurgents. It was fighting in Italy and preparing for D-Day; Poland was quite out of reach for it either by land or air. Your heroes, the Communists, also were at war with Germany and were driving on Warsaw. In a move that many historians have since found highly suspicious, the Red Army advance seemed to suddenly stop when the uprising broke out- -in spite of the fact that the Soviets had called for the uprising. Speculation has been that the Soviets wanted the Germans to annihilate the insurgents, then they would resume their advance and take the city. Which is exactly what happened. Controversial is role of Soviet Red Army, which stood on the other bank of Vistula River, and who haven't allowed pilots from RAF and Polish Airforces to land on Soviet landings. After the initial radio and leaflet propaganda campaign, the Moscow-backed Wanda radio station remained silent until the very end of the fights. It has been argued that the Soviets deliberately allowed the Germans defeat the AK in order to eliminate a force in Poland which would oppose the communist puppet government which the Soviets planned to instal in Poland. fact-index.com Maybe you picked out the wrong bad guys here.
