Its largest operation was the Warsaw Uprising (Aug. 1, 1944 - Oct. 2, 1944), which was quashed by the Germans after 63 days of fighting. Over 180,000 civilians and over 18,000 insurgents were killed. Surviving residents of Warsaw were forced to leave the city and sent to labor and concentration camps.
