ABOVE: Armed women insurgents in Warsaw — one wearing a helmet taken from a dead German — smile confidently before battle during the Warsaw uprising in August, 1944. The Poles fought for two months and 20,000 were killed before they surrendered. Today it is remembered, even by Polish Communists, that the Russian Army only a few miles away did not come to their assistance, but left the non-Communist Polish resistance to be destroyed by the Germans. BELOW: Russian women pilots of the 46th Guards Night Bomber Regiment being briefed for a mission during the Second World War. Both illustrations come from “The Soviet Juggernaut,” by Earl F. Ziemke, part of the World War II series of Time-Life Books reviewed today.
