The Palace, erected as a result of the expansion of the 17th-century palace of Jan Andrzej Morsztyn (a leading poet of the Polish Baroque), was rebuilt many times in the following centuries. During the Second Polish Republic, it was the seat of the General Staff of the 🇵🇱 Army. 
After the destruction of the Palace by 🇩🇪, the only trace of it that remained was a fragment of the 3 central arcades with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier–a symbolic grave commemorating the nameless soldiers who died in the defense of 🇵🇱”

Broadcasting the program was no longer possible without electricity from the Powiśle Power Plant. The damage was too extensive to allow for ongoing repairs. The audience had to say goodbye to the radio.

Every year, on August 1, exactly at 5 pm, alarm sirens sound throughout #Warsaw🇵🇱.
The city freezes. People stop and stand in silence for a minute. They step out of their cars. Some salute. Some cry.

Reading Churchill on Stalin's betrayal of the Poles during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, it is impossible not to share his anger. His account of events as they unfolded, giving the context for this quote from Sept 4th 1944, follow in the thread. #WarsawUprising
The Soviets (and now Russians) deny they deliberately provoked the Warsaw Poles to rise up - with the intention of engineering the destruction of all those who might form a post-war anti-communist resistance. WSC was in no doubt that was Stalin's intention.
The Soviets refuse to have anything to do with the beleaguered Poles, the 'adventure in Warsaw' or help the Allies who need Soviet refuelling facilities to drop munitions and food.
WSC: Soviet obstruction will result in "wholesale massacre". That of course was their aim.
