After reviewing this history, I am thankful my Polish & Lithuanian grandparents emigrated to the United States in the 1890s.

This comment is not directed to any info presented in this video but previous theories mentioned in books, etc. Considering the conflicts between Poland and the Soviet Union in 1920 and 1939, I doubt that the Polish Home Army began the Warsaw Uprising against the Nazis in 1944 with the hope the nearby Red Army would come to their assistance. The last thing in the world the Red Army wanted to do would be to help their rival for the control of Poland.

That is true, in fact, the Soviets went so far as to stall their advance on purpose to have the Nazis crush the uprising so that they wouldn’t have to deal with it later.
