The Poles no doubt inflicted some damage. 27,000 Germans were killed, wounded or captured. But the Germans more than returned the favor. Nearly three-quarters of the Home Army, 30,000 men and women, were killed or wounded, and the Germans made it their business to destroy the City and kill its citizens. Approximately 200,000 civilians were killed in the Uprising and 25% of the City was razed. It was only when the Uprising was over that the true level of German ferocity was revealed. After Polish surrender on October 2 – only when ammunition, medical, food, and finally water supplies had been exhausted -- apparently for sheer spite the Germans destroyed another 35% of beautiful Warsaw, block by block, and deported 700,000 inhabitants to labor or extermination camps. Let us not forget that, along with six (6) million Jews, Hitler killed five (5) million Poles and Gypsies in the Holocaust.
