Actually the movie sends shivers down the spine thanks to the colorization and digital processing of old movie reels.
It really is worth seeing if you have a chance.
There are some armored vehicles in it, also.

Thank you for showing this, Silentstalker. Warsaw Uprising is not well known, due to soviet propoaganda after WW2.

Alone the fact, that it is colourized adds a whole lot more “reality” to it. Black and White always looks like something out of our world even if you know it’s real stuff, so this is a big achievement in bringing the madness of WWII into our context. An ocher building collapsing, possibly burying several people underneath, after being bombed, is much more “Shit got real”, then a grey building collapsing after some light grey stuff happened.

“In the West, the story of the Polish fight for Warsaw with little support, and later the shock of Home Army soldiers as Western Allies recognized the Soviet controlled pro-Communist regime installed by Stalin was an embarrassment and thus the story received little attention in the West for many years.”

“I want to protest against the mean and cowardly attitude adopted by the British press towards the recent rising in Warsaw. … One was left with the general impression that the Poles deserved to have their bottoms smacked for doing what all the Allied wirelesses had been urging them to do for years past,. … First of all, a message to English left-wing journalists and intellectuals generally: ‘Do remember that dishonesty and cowardice always have to be paid for. Don’t imagine that for years on end you can make yourself the boot-licking propagandist of the Soviet régime, or any other régime, and then suddenly return to mental decency. Once a whore, always a whore.’” –-George Orwell, 1 September 1944

Of course this is nothing compared to what Stalin did(knife in the back) but still.
