On the threshhold of the sixth year of war. Poland's tragic position in the fight for freedom has repeated itself. Let no one .minimise the importance of the Warsaw rising. We must bow our heads before Warsaw's desperate and heroic struggle, and not make harmful criticism when what is needed foremost is help.

Your superhuman struggle will not be' in vain, unless the watchword and aims proclaimed by the United Nations are to be ignored."—B.O.W.
