Not to mention the Polish uprising in Warsaw as the Germans were retreating

The Soviets were ready to enter Warsaw but decided to hold back and let the Germans destroy the uprising... which was basically all loyal to the previous government which was more democratic in nature



I dislike the Soviets, but they were overextended, out of armor, and had just been defeated by German forces. Stalin have may have vetoed intervening for political reasons, its fully possible, but they probably weren't in any condition to do anything about the uprising either.

But Stalin also nixed British plans to air lift the Warsaw Jews supplies. The man was pure evil.
If Hitler was 1, Stalin was 1A.
