Hello Matthias, Welcome to the forums. You could try "The Warsay Uprising of 1944" by Wlodzimierz Borodziej. The author is a professor at some Polish university. The book has a lot of facts and figures but very little 'personal' references. It is very detailed.

As for websites, try these to start

I can also recommend "Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw" by Norman Davies.

Don't forget that there were two uprisings - there was also the Ghetto Uprising in 1943.

With regards to the Jewish Uprisings the original 'Stroop Report' was published some years ago.

It includes a lot of info on the German operation and photos of the eradication of the Jewish ghetto. An appaling event and a very disturbing book... But of interest in the terminology used. Its also good to see the Jewish fighters making a herioc gesture of defence, albeit a futile one.
