Since we had an event last year featuring the Soviet Union fighting against the Japanese in the Solomon Islands, I think events based on real historical battles with some modifications should be acceptable.
During the Warsaw Uprising, the resistance fighters received no direct air support from the Allies and had to fight using captured weapons and tanks. This time, however, things would be different, as Polish volunteers fighting alongside the Allies would provide full support for the operation.
This would also give us a stronger justification for adding Polish weapons and squads to the Allied faction.
Additionally, creating the map itself shouldn’t be too difficult, as we could modify existing buildings and structures from the Battle of Berlin maps.

As for the rewards, they could unlock unique squads, weapons and vehicles through the Battle Pass, as in previous events, or by earning 25k score.
However, since the Home Army did not participate in any other battles, the event squads would ultimately be limited to Polish volunteers serving alongside the Soviet and British forces.
Here are the squads and weapons I think would be suitable as event rewards.
A early version of the Panzerfaust, it could penetrate 200 mm of armor. They were captured by the Home Army and the Allies. Unlike the Panzerfaust 60, its effective range is only 30m and has a simple, flip-up metal leaf sight.

The first Polish-designed submachine gun ever to be really mass-produced(about 700).
This brigade was planned to drop into occupied Poland in order to help liberate the country. However, it was refused by the British. Eventually, the Brigade entered combat when it was dropped during Operation Market Garden.
The weapon they used was an export version of the Suomi. Poland purchased this gun, along with its early 20- and 40-round magazines during the 1930s.
Soviet: Polish 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division with Kubuś(Br2)
The first division of the Polish First Army that formed in 1943. During the Warsaw Uprising, they fought to liberate Praga and later took part in the Battle of Berlin.
The Kubuś was an improvised APC used by the Home Army during the Warsaw Uprising. It was armed with a PIAT mounted on the roof, a K-pattern flamethrower mounted at the front of the fighting compartment, and a DP-27 machine gun positioned beside the driver.
As for their weapons and vehicles during this event, here are my options for both sides.
