Aquesta era la resposta al aixecament polònes de Varsòvia del 1 d'agost. Les forces alemanes avançaren sobre el barri de Wola des del oest, per les avingudes Wolska i Górczewska, violant, matant, saquejant i calant foc de manera indiscriminada. Els que no morirern en els primers dies, foren reunits en parcs i naus industrials i ametrallats en massa.

Now all is new, as only corpses and ruins remained here in 1944.<br /> <br /> Between 5 and 12 August 1944, between 40,000 and 100,000 Poles, almost all civilians (including women, the sick, the elderly and children) were murdered by various Nazi units, on direct orders from Hitler and Himmler not to leave anyone alive. This was the response to the Polish uprising in Warsaw on 1 August. German forces advanced on the Wola district from the west, along Wolska and Górczewska avenues, raping, killing, looting and setting fire indiscriminately. Those who did not die in the first few days were gathered in parks, churches and industrial buildings and machine-gunned en masse. The bodies were later cremated by the Verbrennungskommando Warschau, formed by Polish prisoners who were also later executed.<br /> <br /> The Nazi units involved in the massacre were the SS-Brigade Dirlewanger (commanded by the depraved Oskar Dirlewanger), the SS-SturmBrigade RONA (formed by Soviet ex-soldiers, led by Bronislav Kaminski (Russkaya Osvoboditelnaya Narodnaya Armiya), as well as ordnungspolizei battalions such as Sicherheitsregiment 608 and 111 (Azeri). However, many Germans later tried to pass the entire authorship to the &quot;usual suspects&quot; elements of the Dirlewanger and Kaminski Brigades, when it seems that the role of the German police battalions was for the majority of the executions. Some of those responsible died in the same 44-45, like Dirlewanger and Kaminski (perfect to make them responsible), while others lived for many years in Germany, like Erich von dem Bach-Zelewski (although sentenced to prison for other crimes) or Heinz Reinefarth, who was even a town mayor in the post-war period.<br /> <br /> This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wola_massacre" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wola_massacre</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/7455207@N05/">SBA73</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/7455207@N05/55259448142/" title="Els executats a Franaszek S.
