This is a DayTrip4U exclusive — hand-picked for quality!
This tour is designed for the ones especially interested in World War 2 history. Get ready to feel the city that went down from 1.4 million inhabitants to a thousand and still didn't give up to Nazis. Tyranny, resistance and gore would be the most suitable words to describe that part of Polish history. Feeling it already?
Find buildings that today may be considered war memorials due to all the bullet holes, ricochets and lost souls in them. The last piece of a Jewish Ghetto Wall, Umschlagplatz, forgotten Praga district, every place needs commentary and every event a summarize and all that is provided here. Two different revolutions that broke out here – Warsaw Uprising and Ghetto Uprising, local resistance and fortresses used by Warsaw warriors, you will be introduced to them all.
Thorough investigation, deep research and undeniable facts – expect to get all that during 3 hours of this tour. One will not only visit places that are extremely rare in Warsaw just because they have survived WWII but also deepen history related to them to a level not even known by locals. Stories cover Nazi invasion on Poland, beginning of the occupation of the country, the birth of local resistance, Ghetto Uprising, Warsaw Uprising and the arrival of Soviet army. Chivalrous, brave and heroic Polish fighters are also included.
Travel through time thanks to stories you'll hear combined with pre-war and post-war photographs and our Zuk retro minibus. From the remains of seizing Warsaw in 1939 by the Nazis to its so-called 'liberation' by the Soviets in 1945, all this time you are assisted by the guide. You'll learn not only about the fights, revolutions and heroes but also about everyday life in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation, the political situation in the region that has changed diametrically throughout coupe years of WWII and consequences that war has brought to Poland. Most of the destruction here happened as a result of revenge that Nazis wanted to take on Warsaw for the revolution that broke in 1944 and lack of help from the Soviets. Red Army on 17th of January 1945 entered basically a ghost town inhabited by approx. one thousand survivors.
