High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Warsaw Uprising, in 1944 ended in the capitulation of the city and its near total destruction by the German forces. According to many historians, a major cause of this was the almost complete lack of outside support and the late arrival of the support which did arrive. The only support operation which ran continuously for the duration of the Uprising were night supply drops by long-range planes of the RAF, other Commonwealth air forces, and especially units of the Polish Air Force, which had to use distant airfields in Italy (Brindizi and others) and so had very limited effect. One explanation which has been given for the lack of outside support is that the uprising began too early and so the nearby Soviet forces could not fight their road to the city to support. Before and at the time of uprising, the German army started a massive Panzer force counterattack near Warsaw. Two further explanations have been given for the failure of Allied support. The first is that the Soviets misunderstood the circumstances of the uprising.
