| Dec 4, 2017 at 9:56 | comment | added | DevSolar | I still find that bit a bit partisan (pardon the pun). It still reads as if only some ("individual") units of the Polish army surrendered, and the rest just "turned" into the Home Army. One, not all Polish resistance was "the Home Army". Two, as far as I can see at a glance virtually all military units that didn't escape, surrendered. You could make the point that this makes any soldiers of those units that "went underground" effectively deserters. That would be too hard, but do you get my angle? And every resistance movement "encourages anyone willing and able to fight"... | |
