On 1st of August 1944 the uprising of the whole city of Warsaw, against the falling Nazis, broke out. Also - it was to show the Red Army, who just was at the outskirts of the city, that Stalin's accounts to get Poland at the lowest cost, will not be possible. More than 300 000 citizens of Warsaw gave their lives - strangled by the smoke, burnt by fire, killed by bullets and by the direct murder of Dirlewanger & Ukrainian troops, by starvation or by the tumbling houses - to prove Stalin he will have problems with swallowing Poland as easy as a cherry. Red Army in its whole stood and waited by Vistula River bank watching Warsaw burn out on the opposite side, and hoping, the best of Poles are burning with it. A few decades later, the children and grand-children of those who had been fighting in 1944, made “Solidarity“. Aston, in his Polish-English sings all his unbearable pain at the news about death in ruins of his beloved city, Warszawa. Subtitles on the label: Płyta Polska. 2 Korpus Polski - Wydział Dobrobytu Żołnierza. Baryton-solo . Aston A. z tow. orkiestry Teatru Rew. . - Dyr. ppor. Wars H.
