 By war's end, some 60,000 Home Army soldiers had been arrested, 50,000 of whom were deported to Soviet Gulags and prisons; most of these soldiers had been taken captive by the Soviets during, or in the aftermath of, Operation Tempest, when many Home Army units tried to work together with the Soviets in a nationwide uprising against the Germans.Other Home Army veterans were arrested when they approached Polish communist government officials after having been promised amnesty.After a number of such broken promises during the first few years of communist control, Home Army soldiers stopped trusting the government.
