MIRACLE ON THE VISTULA. BATTLE OF WARSAW 1920.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ส.ค. 2018
- On August 15th we mark the anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw, the free world’s first major victory over communism. Poles refer to this victory as the “Miracle on the Vistula.” Newly-independent Poland faced a formidable foe - Vladimir Lenin was ready to see his Bolshevik revolution spread beyond Russia’s borders. He was confident that history was on his side and the Red Army invincible.
But he was stopped.
The victory came on the very day Poles were celebrating the Feast of the Assumption. Watching the Soviet advance they prayed for divine intercession…

Poland won with great help from Hungary. Thank you Brothers.
Yeah Hungary just lost its imperium, and was a big looser to the new countries. You were able to use English translator, but still not enough IQ, to read and understand history books in your own language
You are absolutely right ,You guys provide us with amunitions and arms Thank you for that Hungarian brothers
+marektln
He wrote truth. What the fuck is wrong with You?
As a hungarian I feel honored that our polish brothers pays respect to our contribution! Long live Poland! Allies ever since!
exactly thank you my brothers!
Let's not forget about hungarian ammunition they've sent us in 1920. We remember!
Polish and Global Politics & Geostrategy Zawsze o tym pamiętam ,gdy Węgrzy nam wtedy wysłali całe pociągi ,a niestety Czesi próbowali blokować ...
Jan Saddam i dołączyli do osi spoko
Katarzyna D W 20-tym !???
Jewarszym PL Węgrzy nie zawsze byli z nami przypomnę o tym że e ich król panował nad naszymi ziemiami stąd ród andegawenów w polsce
Jewarszym PL nie niszcze naszej przyjaźni tylko stwierdzam fakt Węgrzy od początku byli mądrzy i pamiętaj że najbliżej nam do Czechów i Słowaków a nie Węgrów Węgrzy przyszli z Azji ale się przystosowali dlatego nadal istnieją
In my opinion, Europe should be grateful to Poland for three historical events:
1683 battle of Vienna
1920 miracle on the Vistula
1940 Battle of Britain
Poland is a nation that always saves Europe's ass. Do not thank us. Let us exist.
czy ja wiem, Polacy byli przydatni podczas Bitwy o Anglie, mieli nieźle wyniki ale nie nazwałbym ich udziału w tej walce decydującym dla wyniku tej bitwy. Być może bardziej rozszyfrowanie engimy, ale to w sumie też nie wysiłek całego narodu tylko kilku matematyków :p
@@user-wq5ry5ix5y rozszyfrowanie enigmy też było bezużyteczne ponieważ nie można było by nic zrobić jak się dowiedzieli o ataku bo Niemcy by byli podejrzliwi.
If the allies were competent and Britain hadn't pretended to be a superpower the war would have been over much sooner with millions less dead and Poland would be much more recognised for its part. The Germans were going to attack France a month after Poland but the Polish defence destroyed so much equipment they had to delay by 6 months to attack in May. That was more than enough time for the allies to prepare a spectacular defence or invasion considering they outnumbered the Germans and 4:1 during the invasion of Poland and had much better equipment with a frontline much much smaller than Poland had with Germany/the USSR.
@@davrosdarlek7058 dzięki temu praktycznie alianci mogli rozszyfrować każdą tajna wiadomość Niemców na froncie, przecież enigma byla używana do końca wojny. No nam się raczej nie przydało, ale dla aliantow to było więcej, niz odkrycie na miarę złota
@Samuel Kováč that would still end in a communist force occupying Checho-Slovakia and Poland at least. That threaght was the main reason Poland didn't allow Soviet troops through their land to help C-S. WW2 ending quickly would probably give the best result for giving the Soviets as little influence in Europe as possible.
Liam Neeson, thank you for this great presentation of Poland's victory against the Red Army in 1920. And to Poland, you are the greatest ally to Europe and the free world today. God Bless You!
Bycie Polakiem, jest wielkim zaszczytem. Jak to powiedział kiedyś Kościuszko '' Walczymy za wolność wszystich narodów, a umieramy tylko za nasza POLSKĘ''

Greetings to Poland from America!!!
History that is often forgotten. The Pols are never given their due. From an American I want to apologize for America's silence over the Katyn Forest Massacre. Those leaders of the past didnt appreciate the grit and resilience of the Polish people. We LOVE you Poland!

CM Thank you! You're really nice!
You have more to apologize for. More fateful was your abandonment of Poland at Sovets' mercy at the end of the war, which they hadn't got whatsoever. Nonetheless let's forget about painful past and look forth toward bright future of our countries. Cheers!

They need to teach Polish history from 1912 till 1989 in American schools. So many problems could be avoided if America did that.
Thank you Liam Neeson! I'm an American I stand with Poland all the way they've been invaded twice they don't need this ever again Polish Pride Rules
Thanks Poland & people From Poland A Polish Lady Save My Grandmother And My 2 Brother's We Love Poland Thanks.🇺🇸
Drogie dzieci z Polski, które tak narzekacie, że Neeson tylko przyaktorzył w tym filmie. Celem filmu, akcji z jego przygotowaniem nie było to, by Liam Neeson zaliczył egzamin z historii Polski. Celem tego filmu jest rozpropagowanie wiedzy na temat wojny polsko-bolszewickiej.
No pacz, a ja myślałem że Neeson jest historykiem, a nie aktorem który gada co mu napiszą w scenariuszu.

Cute, unfortunately Poland is enslaved since 1992 and now even is getting prepared to install Israeli occupation. So yeah we are happy as fuck 30 years of goverments made by traitors in force thanks to CIA.

Communism until this day is in the blood of most poles. Poland is suffering to this day and... oh boy what a twist - looks like today's America an enemy of free Poland. Just ACT 447 signed by Mr. Trump says it all. It was always about the money for the USA, from day one. I'm aware of the fact that it's not all Americans fault but still, USA is the USA.
Thank you my frend.
A country of Badasses, the descendants of the illustrious winged hussars. Greetings from Italy.
See here: th-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/w-d-xo.html
Gracie. Saluti dalla Polonia per il popolo italiano.
You want badasses? I`ll give you badasses. In one story i`ll tell you best and at the same time most heart breaking story, that illustrates what this country is:
Battle of Zadwórze. 330 Lviv Eaglets vs 1st Calvary Army of Budyonny. I wll cry, if i try to tell it in detail, so let`s just say, that "40 - 1" of Sabaton looks like amateur hour near those people- in Wizna defense, we had adults, soldiers, hiding in up to date bunkers- fighting skillfully, with decent gear...
In Zadwórze Battle you had people, who were 15- 17 years old, and guys over 20 were old sweats already, and they were fighting in the open... until ammo ran out... and then, still keeping cohesion, they fought with bayonets and rifle butts. 318 died, soviets, angered by resistance, dragged wounded ones after the horses, cut dead to pieces, shot other in the heads...
I was at Eaglets Cementery, in Lviv, over 10 years ago. I was 20 at the time, and i walked by tombstones, that had dates of birth and death... I walked by people, who died at the age of 15, 16. Probably never saw much beside home town, never actuall touched a girl... And my question was "where the fuck were adults, who allowed that?!"... Like with Warsaw Uprising- it was a crime on young, brave people, who we miss dearly to this day. People, who had the good of nation at heart, unlike those fucking soul selling mutts, that rule us ever since...
Not all, there are plenty of pussies and idiots too.
Czas dobrze zaplacic Neesonowi, Eastwoodowi i Gibsonowi by zrobili solidny film o 1920 roku lub Odsieczy Wiedenskiej
To by było coś. Lepiej o odsieczy wiedeńskiej. To co obecnie wyprodukowali z włochami to wstyd.
Odsiecz wiedeńska? Jak ocaliliśmy Niemcom tyłki (Wiedeń był wówczas stolicą Rzeszy Niemieckiej), żeby nas rozebrali sto lat później? Lepiej Bitwa Warszawska 1920, a z dalszej historii np. bitwa pod Orszą 1514, odsiecz smoleńska 1632 albo coś o 'potopie rosyjskim' 1654-1667, czyli o póki możemy nadrabiajmy braki z czasów zaborów i komuny.
Sto lat później Niemcy z Austriakami nas ocalili przed całkowitym wchłonięciem przez Rosję. Tak zwane rozbiory nastąpiły już po zajęciu całego terytorium Polski przez wojska rosyjskie i po całkowitym uzależnieniu polityki polskiej od woli carycy. Wojska rosyjskie stacjonowały już jakieś 200km od Berlina, z resztą za zgodą i za poparciem polskiego Sejmu. Tak zwanymi rozbiorami Niemcy i Austriacy wyparli Rosjan daleko na wschód, co w konsekwencji umożliwiło nam zachowanie polskości przez nauczanie w języku polskim w zajętej przez Austriaków Galicji, Lodomerii i Księstwie Krakowskim, oraz umożliwiło Polakom dostęp do nowoczesnej technologii i nowoczesnej myśli gospodarczej w zajętej przez Niemców Wielkopolsce. Bez rozbiorów nie byłoby w ogóle możliwe odrodzenie państwa polskiego, a bez drukowanych za austriackim zaborem (zabor to płot po rusku, a nie to co zabrane, jak myślą gimbusy) polskich książek w 1918 roku Polacy mówiliby wyłącznie po rusku, a polska historia byłaby dla nas historią polskiej części Wielkiej Rusi.
To że Polacy nie mówią po rusku to może akurat zasługa Napoleona, który 12 lat po rozbiorach wykroił namiastkę państwa polskiego wbrew woli cara Aleksandra. Rzeczpospolita była uzależniona od Rosji od sejmu niemego w 1717, ale Rosja nie chciała rozbiorów, chciała utrzymać Polskę w całości pod swoim protektoratem. Tymczasem doszło do rozbiorów (nie tzw. tylko rzeczywistych) i likwidacji państwa polskiego w 1795, co było całkowitą katatsrofą, bo nie mieliśmy ani swojego rządu, ani sejmu, ani wojska, ani niczego. A to nauczanie i technologia o których piszesz to czasy dużo późniejsze (zresztą Prus nie zaliczano wówczas do Niemiec). Po III rozbiorze najwyższy poziom nauczania w języku polskim był w zaborze rosyjskim, oczywiście już po śmierci Katarzyny, zwłaszcza w wileńskim okręgu naukowym, którym zawiadywał Czartoryski a na uniwerytecie wileńskim nauczali Lelewel, Śniadeccy i inni wybitni polscy uczeni (tego zupełnie nie było w Warszawie opanowanej przez Prusaków). Przecież stamtąd wyszli Mickiewicz, Słowacki, tam się właśnie polskość zachowała.... To jednak nie ma bezpośredniego związku z tematem odsieczy wiedeńskiej. Sobieski przystąpił do antytureckiej Świętej Ligi (notabene z Rosją, na rzecz której zawarł fatalny pokój Grzymułtowskiego) nie po to, żeby pomagać Austrii=Niemcom, ale żeby mieć udział w podziale imperium tureckiego. Tylko że pomimo tzw. wiktorii wiedeńskiej to Polska wyszła na tym najgorzej z wszystkich koalicjantów. Habsburgowie zagarnęli Węgry, Siedmiogród, Słowenię i kawał Chorwacji, Wenecja wzięła sobie Dalmację, Rosja wykroiła dostęp do Morza Czarnego i okolice Odessy. Sobieski odzyskał jedynie Podole, ale przede wszystkim planował przyłączyć do Polski Mołdawię (czyli dojście do M. Czarnego) oraz podporządkować Węgry i Siedmiogród (Węgrzy sami się o to prosili) a nawet dojść do ujścia Dunaju, wziąć Multany, czyli część Wołoszczyzny, co by cudownie zmieniło naszą geopolitykę. A w dalszej perspektywie dawało nam możliwość na odzyskanie równowagi w zmaganiach z Rosją i odzyskanie ziem zabranym w wyniku "potopu rosyjskiego" (wsch. Ukraina i Smoleńsk). Więc zamysł taktycznego sojuszu z Austrią i Rosją (zamiast tradycyjnego z Francją i Turcją) był dobry, ale co z tego, skoro Sobieski po "wiktorii" wiedeńskiej (zresztą niemal utraconej pod Parkanami) nie zdołał wykorzystać tego, że ściął łeb Turkowi. Wojska litewskie, które spóźniły się wyprawę wiedeńską parę miesięcy później nie były w stanie przyłączyć Węgier i Słowacji. Trzy wyprawy mołdawskie Sobieskiego okazały się całkowitą klęską (1684, 1686 i 1691). Sobieski nie był w stanie przejść przez lasy bukowińskie, wpakował się tam i w ostatniej klęsce bukowińskiej stracił połowę wojska, po czym nigdy się już Rzeczpospolita nie podźwignęła. Nie przyłączył nic do Rzeczypospolitej i jako jedyne państwo Świętej Ligi nie zyskaliśmy nic na klęsce Turcji. Nie dość, że straciliśmy wsch. Ukrainę, Bramę Smoleńską, Prusy Książęce to jeszcze przyczyniliśmy się do wzmocnienia Habsburgów i Rosji, a straciliśmy sojusznika w postaci Turcji, która przez wielki stabilizowała wpływy rosyjskie. Więc zasadniczo nie ma czego upamiętniać...
W odniesieniu do bitwy wiedeńskiej masz rację, ale ja nadal uważam, że gdybyśmy w całości trafili pod wpływy Rosji, to o odzyskaniu niepodległości nie byłoby w ogóle mowy, pozorna samodzielność Polskiej Korony nie trwałaby długo, nie byłoby też stworzonej przez Napoleona żadnej namiastki państwowości bo nie byłoby po stronie Francji polskich legionów, a polscy ułani wiernie (bądź z musu) służyliby dworowi w Petersburgu, nie byłoby kształtujących patriotyzm powstań bez wsparcia współrodaków zza zaborów i bez zakordonnych ośrodków organizowania wsparcia, a bez drukowanej za austriackim zaborem polskiej literatury nie byłoby polskiej świadomości narodowej - cóż z tego, że są to, jak piszesz, czasy dużo późniejsze, skoro są to właśnie czasy kształtowania się świadomości narodowej wśród mas.
Its why I live in Ireland , country which has been lost for 600 years and were they back to the Europe map like Poland . Thank you Liam for all words you said about my country - Poland . Be proud of Polish , be be proud of Irish , be proud of free man .

Liam Neeson - thank you for words of truth
He take money for this man so where is sense of this what you wont to say ? This is not his real words
@@2mw88 give me source ,if it was just pretended .
A few people know that in 1920, the Europe was saved from the bolshevik invasion by polish soldiers, women and children. Yes, chidren too, anyone who could carry a weapon took part in that war. The youngest recipient of the Virtuti Military Cross, the highest decoration for bravery in a battlefield, was 13-year old Antoni Petrykiewicz.
Actually involving children in war, no matter which one, is not the thing, that people shold be proud of...
Oh man. You don't know Poles. Those kids weren't forced to fight. They wanted to be involved mate.
I'm Pole myself and even when children were willing to fight, adults should not allow them to do this.
+Tom Are you kidding me right now, you must be..! 1939.09.01 - German aggression on Poland from the west. IIWW and Blitzkrieg has begun. 16 days later red army attacks Poland from the east. Poland betrayed by her allies: Great Britain and France; none of them helped... How tf do you think we WOULD "defeat the Soviet military aggression in 1939 or 1945"?! Ignorance. Ignorance everywhere. Stop playing "LoL" (or whatever you grind in) and start reading. Otherwise - stay silent.

God bless you!
First of all, thank you Liam! I love your voice/acting.
Also, how many Americans don't know their own history? I'm wondering...
This is more Polish history than it is American history, and it is so specific that you can't expect something like this would be taught in a classroom. An American history teacher wouldn't say "so in the 1920s our country went through a series of economic changes based off of the idea of laissez faire capitalism, oh and btw we sent volunteers to Poland in 1920 when they were invaded by the USSR, but anyway Warren G Harding was the first in a series of..."
This is more polish history
I like Niams acting but not his anti-gun politics!
Man, this video darn near made me cry. Thank God, thank you Mr. Neeson, thank you Poland. Long live freedom.

Super! Respect!
Poles protecred Europe from Bolshevism once and may do so again soon.. This time coming from the west instead of the east

Europe should thank Poland if they hadn't stopped the Reds the Europe would be ...
Eventually they did 1989 - but that was a sauer victory with communist taking the majority of wealth, judiciary, connections basically it was the beginning of a lawless era a wild west -the Poles bulid the Poland of today with their grit audacity the transformation period was hard really really hard - when I hear young americans that communism is better I just shake my head in disbelief
Tom. We stopped Soviets in 1920, which gave 19 years without war to the rest of Europe. And, in 1939 Soviet Russia attacked us on east 17 days after Nazi Germany did on west. So, imagine a contry, 21 years afer regaining independece in WW I after 123 years (which were filled with rebelions where many thousands Poles were killed), 19 years after Battle of Warsaw, facing both Nazis and Soviets, two great armies, without help from allies. Britain and France declared war on Germany, and thats all.
And in 1945? At Yalta Conference Big three (Soviets, UK, USA) decided that Poland will be under Soviet "care" - cause Stalin promised he would do "free" election in Poland. You know what Churchill said? "Poor Neville Chamberlain believed he could trust Hitler. He was wrong. But I don't think I am wrong about Stalin". Later, he saw that he was wrong, but our freedom was once again taken, until 1989/1990.
If you want to know more, read abut events I've mentioned. I'm not a historian, and these are some basics.
Tom Now Do you really think poland would have been able to handle a two front war in 1939? They gave a valiant defence for weeks, but theres only so much to be done.
Little more than 20 years to build up the military infrastructure it takes takes to accomplish that.
The real mistake was on the part of the allies. They should have mobilized immediately and invaded west germany while the nazi forces were bogged down in poland. The allies could have ended the was in september 1939.. Theil faith in the maginot line what motivated their honournless tactics.
They did not hold up their mutual defemce treaties..
Tom: "This global NATO could be called GAPTO" - or... GESTAPO [Geheime Staatspolizei] ;P
Tom - You said (among other statements), quote: _"I still think Poland should have spent the years from 1920 to 1939 building up one of the greatest military forces in Europe."_
Your thought process is not only shallow but based on total ignorance of reality! It almost seems that you place your understanding of Geo-politics and history on, e.g. malleable video games, as opposed to cold hard facts.
Here's a quick education: Poland was an annexed territory of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia, from 1795 to 1918. By late 1915, Germany had complete control over modern-day Poland. A 2005 Polish study estimated 3,376,800 Poles were conscripted into the armed forces of the occupying powers during World War I, an additional 300,000 were conscripted for forced labor by the Germans. The Russians and Austrians forcibly resettled 1.6 to 1.8 million persons from the war zone in Poland. According to Michael Clodfelter, Polish war dead were 1,080,000, whilst 200,000 Polish civilians were killed in the fighting on the Eastern Front; 870,000 men were forced to serve in the German, Austrian and Russian armies.
In 1918 Poland regained its independence (less than 2 short years prior to the Polish-Soviet War in 1920) after having been a non-country for 123-years (think about that). During this entire 123-year period, Poland and its people were completely fragmented. The only things that kept the Polish spirit alive (unlike your belief - calling it; _"nationalistic jingoism and super-patriotic conceits"_) was the deep-rooted pride of its people, their patriotism and their faith in God. Poles had lost a huge number of their fighting age men during WW1 and was economically in dire straights. In 1918 it had to start from scratch, rebuilding its society, economy, infrastructure... EVERYTHING! Yet you seem to blame Poles - in their now almost embryonic state - for not being able to defeat TWO of Europe's strongest military forces (Germany and the Soviet Union) due to not having built _"the strongest fighting force in Europe"_ within just 18 years of fighting the Soviets?
*Are you serious?* Other 'very long established' nations in Europe were defeated by the Germans alone!
Also, you said, quote: _"I see no value in looking back at 1920 and thinking that the Virgin Mary saved Poland because the battle of Warsaw took place on the Feast of the Assumption and because the Virgin Mary is much loved in Poland. Thinking like that just gets people killed because people think they don't have to prepare for things, but can just rely on God to protect and save them."_
It seems that your obtuseness even stretches to the strong spiritual strength that faith in Roman Catholicism and God provided Poles throughout their history and its' MANY battles and wars, e.g. when Poland defeated the Ottoman Empire from occupying Europe at the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (th-cam.com/video/YyXIMravePk/w-d-xo.html pay attention to the Kings words at 5:00 and also th-cam.com/video/X8zCv0AHnCs/w-d-xo.htmlm5s )... and during many previous successful battles against the Ottomans and other enemies, very often against all odds, due to being incredibly outnumbered sometimes by as much as 10-1. So yes, many would understandably call those victories (as well as the one in 1920) "won with the assistance from God" or even miraculous!
As for Liam Neeson... his role in this video is NOT as an 'actor' but as a narrator. I find it quite shocking that you cannot tell the difference! So, it's clear that YOUR perceptions stem from 'fantasy Hollywood land' instead of being based on historical reality.
And after all that Poland has endured throughout its amazing history, for it to hold the strong socioeconomic 'growing' position it does today - not only in Eastern/Central Europe but also Western Europe - this, by any recognized standards, should never have happened! Of course Polish people are not "super-beings or demi-gods" (as you stated) but after everything that the Polish people have been through, they certainly possess, to use your words "a special greatness"... absolutely! And the two things that Poles of centuries ago and today hold so very dear to their heart... is their patriotism and their faith, so to imply that their behaviour/attitude was/is blinded by _"nationalistic jingoism and super-patriotic conceits"_ is definitely a gross insult.
Need I remind you that in your opening paragraph, you said; _" I'm not trying to denigrate the Polish people"_ ... and then you did precisely that!
Re: 1920, I recommend watching this video: th-cam.com/video/aN73N9EjoM4/w-d-xo.html
In Addition:
You seem very confused. You said, quote: _"Nations and peoples of the world who still believe in democracy, the rule of law, freedom of the press, freedom of religion (including freedom from religion for those who choose that), etc., must unite to fight the growing cancer of authoritarianism (Russia; N. Korea; China; Trump; Islamism) in the world."_
So, in your opinion Trump is 'authoritarian' and a 'growing cancer' and you position him alongside N. Korea (though the two are on completely opposing sides in every way imaginable), and even though Trump supports and promotes: democracy, the rule of law, freedom of the press and freedom of religion... you call him a 'growing cancer!' Hmmm!!!
Plus, you criticize Trump (who's certainly a figure of 'strength' preparing for potential conflicts), yet you say, quote; _"We need to be strong and prepare for the storm on the horizon."_ Hmm, 'continuity' is certainly not your strong point, is it?!
You castigate both sides of the spectrum and everyone in between, seemingly dreaming for a Utopia of sorts, and yet offer no solution to your perceived global problem(s)? In my book, your statements only reflect an outlook that a naive, confused and ignorant juvenile could and would make.
Thus, I strongly suggest you hit your analytical 'reset button' and re-evaluate your own perceptions of 'fact versus fiction' with regards to Geo-politics, history and current affairs before making more spontaneous and unsophisticated comments on these subjects.

1920 Poland, in 1939-40 Finland :P
Thanks Karay! Shame we did agree to peace out reds while whotes were still fighting on.... We could have spared you famine and stalins purges...
Xoruam yee because then they would make Mao like purges that communism for you and you now that lenin died two years after this war
Haha
CHWAŁA WIELKIEJ ROSJI!
From Poland with love!
Thanks Liam for telling English speaking part of the world about that 1920 war that saved Europe from communism at that time.
It was a victory that gave freedom for a generation.
Unfortunately Poland was betrayed in Jalta by the worst US president F.D. Roosevelt
Thank you, Liam.
Lubie tego goscia I swiat caly jego lubi. Swietny pomysl, prosta realizacja I dobry tekst. Dzieki. z Chicago.
Karl Marx said: "Either Asian barbarism, under the leadership of the Muscovites, will come down on Europe like an avalanche, or Europe must restore Poland and thereby protect itself against Asia with a wall of 20 million heroes, to win time for the consummation of its social transformation." In 1920 Poles were this wall of heros!
do not use KArl MArx words here , he was facking mason with intension to kill of Slavic Nations - in first row Poland
That was Winstone Churchill, not Marx
Glory to the Heroes!
Piękne !
Powinniśmy 'ZAINWESTOWAĆ" w Hollywoodzki film kinowy o polskiej historii II Wojny Światowej. Nie żałować pieniędzy na reżysera i gwiazdy!!! A potem na jego podstawie zrobic np. miniserial BBC -od utraty niepodległości poprzez dwudziestolecie międzywojenne , wojnę, komunizm i odzyskanie niepodległości.
nie nakręcą bo musieli by pokazać jak koszeni zdradzili Polskę i jak swoich z gett wysyłali do obozów
Takiego filmu nigdy w Hollywood ani w BBC nie nakreca poniewaz tam sie tworzy filmy falszujace historie. Prawdziwa historia Polski jest zbyt inspirujaca dla zniewolonych narodow i zbyt niebezpieczna dla lajdakow przygotowujacych NWO(nowy porzadek swiata).
Tak bardzo jak nie lubie gdy wszędzie się daje teorie o NWO, tak z jednym tutaj muszę się zgodzić - taki film nigdy nie powstanie, gdyż po prostu pokazywałby albo w niewygodnym świetle kraje zachodu, albo też nie zgadzałby się z obecną popularną doktyryną.
Przykładem może być fail z filmem o Rotmistru Pileckim. Pomysł był, nawet znaleźli się sponsorzy w Hollywood (o dziwo duża część była żydowska), pojawił się tylko jeden szkopuł - sponsorzy zarządali, by Pilecki w filmie był pokazany jako żyd (pomimo faktu, że - jak wszyscy wiemy - był 100% polakiem i zagorzałym katolikiem) - gdyż obecnie panuje przekonanie, że tylko żydzi mogli być w obozach koncetracyjnych.
W skrócie - wszystko kwestia dzisiejszej opinii publicznej i tyle...
www.filmweb.pl/film/Gwia%C5%BAdzista+eskadra-1930-104950 Ten film mogliby zrobić, przy pomocy hollywood. Bo jest o Amerykanach. Co ciekawe, jeden z nich to byl nikt inny jak Merian C. Cooper!
Bozydar Bartowiak .A jak myslisz dlaczego do tej pory nikt takiego filmu w USA nie zrobil? Prawie 100 lat minelo i nic.😉
proud of my polish ancestory
Brakuje podziękowań dla Węgrów
Podziękuj im za rozbiory do spółki z Austriakami.
Great stuff. Thank you.
PIĘKNIE DZIĘKUJEMY!

May the force be with you Qui Gon...
Thank you Sir!
Poland don't need thanks, respect or apologizes. Poland need to the whole world must know the true story!
Thank you Liam.
Oh, my God !!!!
Mr. Liam Nesson - my favored actor !!!! Thank you so much sir !!!!
'Red is Bad'☺
Better dead than red.
Fuck commies
redswift31 Fuck Stalin and the Commisars. How could he send millions of his own to starve and send Soviet/Russain soldiers to die or be put in gulags? Power hungry bastard. I don't hold this grudge towards the soldiers of the Red Army however, they were merely pawns in Stalins games (in the same way that the Wehrmacht were pawns for Hitlers, oh yeah and fuck nazis and the ss too), and the fact the red army defeated the nazis, hell many of the Soviet POW's held in Nazi camps were later put into gulags by...you guessed it STALIN.
Steve Achealo, unfortunately, you have forgotten, that many of those simple soldiers of the Red Army raped and killed Polish civilians, when the Red Army was marching throughout Poland 'saving Europe and defeating Germany'
Mi St I have not forgotten, almost all armies in ww2 committed rape and not all red army solders committed rape in the same way that not all Wehrmacht soldiers committed rape in Stalingrad and prior. While the red army rapes aren't justified (as there is no justification for rape AT ALL) I can understand why some in the red army committed those acts, it was a result of revenge (as one of the causes for war rape is this exact reason) and the fact that Commisars encouraged this barbarity too.
Thank you, Qui Gon. And now for the news from the Separatist front...
Poles are like rebels aginst empire =)
@@katarzynadaniliszyn4475 well is Palpatine running the party Law and Justice then? They seem to lean to his kind of rule.
The battle of Warsaw certainly was a miracle. God bless Poland and thank you for all the great people you have produced from St John Paul 11 to Maximilian Kolbe to Maria Faustina etc.
Wrong! From the tactical point of view, it was far superior in the quality the army's and Polish command over Bolshevik. "Miracle on the Vistula" term was invented by italian journalists. After this war polish authorities just start use this term for propaganda what is completely idiotic if we want to describe this battle today.
No re-read the actual battle and you will see the Bolshevik forces far out numbered the polish forces. By any criteria the Bolsheviks should of conquered Poland but they were routed and the defeat was so massive that Lenin decided to postpone all future invasions. No something miraculous did happen here. God bless Poland
Please, do not make a fool from yourself. Win was possible just because of good work of polish cryptographers whom decrypt every single radio message from bolsheviks. According to this Polish command can use their own military experience for make good tactical answer to bolshevik attacks because they know every single movement on battlefield of their opponets. You got very limited knowledge about this battle so you look at her trough the eyes of the child. Don't be like a kid.
It was a combination of many things. But i believe that God blessed Poland that day
Liam Neeson, a great actor, but an even better person. Acting is a game but life reveals who we really are thanks to you and others like Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood Polish history speaks and the proud Polish people are awakening from a coma called communism. Liam Poland loves you
I really like this actor. ...I like Polish history. ..we are Polish....
we are Proud to be Polish ...we never surrender. ..
We are always want to fight for our County. .for our Freedom. ...
0:30 Minely 102 lata, a Vladimir (tym razem Putin) ponownie mysli, ze Armia Czerwona jest niezwyciezona. I znowu sie pomylil. Tym razem na Ukrainie
kolejny kapitalny film, tak trzymać!
Jaki kolejny? To pierwszy autorski film fundacji. A poza tym nakręcenie krótkiego filmiku ze znanym aktorem trudno uznać za coś kapitalnego - kapitalny to był filmik IPN o historii Polski 1939-1989.
thic333 Frantic 7 The Warsaw Uprising . Jak się komuś nie podoba to po co umieszczać takie głupie komentarze
Thank you Mr Liam Neeson remembering our Independence Day. I am a big fan of your movies.

Polska jest jednym z tych krajów z którymi nie poninieneś zaczynać bitki :)
Zajebiste, Liam legenda!
Liam, how much did they pay you in our taxes to tell the truth?
Dostał za 200.000 USD z naszych podatków xD

Screw Liam

Nice I didn't know that
Damn Poland , you got Oskar Schindler himself for this
Raz się żyje, i przejdę przez życie będąc dobrym człowiekiem
THANK YOU ALSO ROMANIA !!In 1920, during the Polish-Bolshevik war, Romania was the only country that allowed transports of weapons and ammunition to pass through its territory from Hungary to Poland. The government in Bucharest agreed to the transit of supplies to Poland despite the disastrous Hungarian-Romanian relations. On March 3, 1921, in Bucharest, the "Convention on a resistant alliance between the Republic of Poland and the Kingdom of Romania" was signed. The convention was signed by the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eustachy Sapieha, and his Romanian counterpart, Take Ionescu. The document said:
Poland and Romania undertake to assist each other in the event that one of them is attacked, without giving any reason on their part, on their present eastern borders.
Friendly relations between Poland and Romania have become the norm. Józef Piłsudski traveled to the Danube state many times, and the Romanian royal couple visited Poland. Mutual relations developed in many areas, from military to education.
O kurde mile zaskoczony jestem haha 😀👍🏻...
dziękujecie Liamowi, tak, jakby zrobił to bezinteresownie. Come on!!!
