Antifascists in Warsaw getting up graffiti and stickers to commemorate the anniversary of the The Warsaw Uprising, which began on 1 August 1944, a major World War II operation by the Polish underground resistance to liberate Warsaw from German occupation.

It was led by the Polish resistance Home Army and was timed to coincide with the retreat of the German forces from Poland ahead of the Soviet advance. While approaching the eastern suburbs of the city, the Red Army halted combat operations, enabling the Germans to regroup and defeat the Polish resistance and to destroy the city in retaliation. The Uprising was fought for 63 days with little outside support. It was the single largest military effort taken by any European resistance movement during World War II.
