ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS  

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the many people who have supported the creation and development of this website.

Special thanks to Norman Davies for his inspiration, encouragement, and permission to use material from Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw.

My gratitude also goes to Tadeusz Kondracki, Marek Jan Chodakiewicz, and John Radzilowski for their guidance, encouragement, and for providing invaluable historical materials.

I am especially grateful to Maciej Siekierski of the Hoover Institution for his assistance in researching Polish archives.

Thanks also to Whatfor, creator of the excellent Warsaw Uprising: Home Army vs. Waffen-SS website, for generously sharing rare and difficult-to-obtain materials.

Special thanks to Keith Ullrich for his invaluable contributions to the website's design, typography, editing, and overall presentation.

Finally, my heartfelt thanks go to all of the volunteers, contributors, and supporters who have helped this website grow over the years.

The verse on the home page—"Go, passer-by, and tell the world..." (Przechodniu, powiedz Polsce, żeśmy polegli wierni w Jej służbie)—was translated by Norman Davies in Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw. It appears on the monument commemorating the fallen Polish soldiers at the Monte Cassino Cemetery in Italy. The original epitaph was written by Simonides of Ceos to commemorate the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC).

Home page photograph of Jerzy Sikorski 'Sixton' was taken in August 1944 by Wiesław Chrzanowski 'Wiesław' in Warsaw's Old Town.


This website was originally created in 2003—2004 to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. It has since been continuously expanded and updated to make the history of the Uprising accessible to an international audience.
