There were Polish Army units left in the country, fighting not only against the Germans and the Slovaks supporting them, but also the Soviets. What prompted the Commander-in-Chief to make such a decision? What alternatives did he have? We try to answer these questions, among others, in our latest material. More on this topic: 1. D.
