Polskie podziemie mierzyło się teraz z wrogim najeźdźcą wschod- nim, który nie uznawał legalności rządu na uchodźstwie ani jego siły zbrojnej. Ironią losu Niemcy złożyli AK propozycję przekazania broni Polakom dla obrony przed Sowietami, zostałą ona jednak kategorycz- nie odrzucona. Tak więc Polska stała się jedynym okupowanym krajem Europy, który nie dostarczył narodowego kontyngentu walczącego dla Rzeszy na froncie wschodnim. Wobec kurczącego się pola manewru do- wództwo AK planowało rozpocząć akcję „Burza”: powstanie za liniami niemieckimi celem udzielenia wsparcia Armii Czerwonej. Plan „Burzy” zakładał, że oddziały AK miały walczyć z nieprzyjacielem tylko tam, gdzie rozpoczął on odwrót, nie zaś wywoływać powstanie w całym kra- ju. Dowództwo AK twierdziło, że jest dla Związku Radzieckiego rów- norzędnym partnerem i że może pełnić rolę gospodarza wyzwalanego kraju, do którego powróci z Londynu rząd na uchodźstwie.
