Definitely meant World War 2 at 2:55!
Aces in exile is sabaton's song about the men who fought over Britain
definately... definately
I knew you knew that 😉
@@danievandenheever8295 yes! Aces in exile is a great song!
@@andrewludwig9251 my favourite part is when Joakim sings Men from Chechslvokia in the battle of Britain
When I was a teenager I worked extra during summer in a nursing home and there was an elder woman there from Poland (this was in Sweden). She had some amazing stories to tell about her life and the life in Warzaw (during and just after the war). I could listen to her for hours. One thing that struck me, that I had not learned in history classes, was about the betrayal of the polish people. And she often mentioned she would never be able to forgive Churchill.
Poles - you have my utmost respect and hope I get to visit your country somtime.
Wow
I wonder if she was the same woman Joakim talked about in the Sabaton History video about this song; he said the band met a Polish woman who had fought in the uprising and moved to Sweden after the war, and then moved back to Poland decades later, which is where they met her.
@@corinna007 I think that chance is really small (many people with polish heritage came here after WW2 and although I only live like 1h30 min drive away from Sabatons hometown I suspect this was another lady). And thanks for pointing me into the direction of that video of their history channel, somehow I have missed that.
Why churchill? I understand how the british could've supported them with air support but that was very risky especially since britian didnt have very much at the time. I'm just interested why she will never forgive Churchill?
@@LUFCLiving I don't know what was the major reason for her, but in 1939 Poland had pacts of alliance in case of war signed with France and GB. Even though neither of those countries fulfiled the pact in 1939, polish forces fought at their side all over the Europe. Including war of Great Britain, where polish squadron was the best of all. Churchill didn't even invite polish soldiers to victory parade. But the most important is, that he agreed to decisions made in Jałta. Result of Jałta was 50 years of communism in Poland, Russian occupation and terror of Stalinism.
A little known fact about the Warsaw uprising is, that at the time the Hungarian army's 1st cavalry was assinged as a reserve to the german 9th army with a force of around 25 000 under the command of gen. Béla Lengyel (lengyel in hungarian means polish). From the start of the uprising the hungarian forces refused to aid the germans to stop the uprising. The hungarian soldiers refused to fire on polish posts and they gave first aid to the wounded, free passage to supplies and provided information to the Polish Underground Army. They warned the polish that there will be a german counter offensive in the Sluzew - Wilanów area, as a result of this the polish reinforced their positions causing heavy losses to the germans. At the last days of the uprising with the annihilation of Kampinos group the hungarian army provided weapons, medicine and hungarian uniforms to the remainder of a polish batallion to escape to the direction ofJaktorow and Zyrardow. When the withdraval of axis forces began 500 wounded polish were evacuated with the hungarians in hungarian uniforms.
Poles and Hungarians are brothers to the saber and to the glass. Regards from Poland!
how come i have never heard of it. thanks for sharing it my hungarian brother!
Ther was a situation, when 2 german soldier hear polish people in the basement, so they throw granade there. When they come in, they fund 2 dead polish soldier, 2 dead hungarian soldier, and bottle of vodka.
I know this from a child and who truly love Poland does appreciate.Dont listen to TV its all propaganda..Poland remembers Hungary!!! Thank you
Every year in Warsaw on 1 August at 5:00 PM ('W' Hour) alarm signals and sirens are turned on and whole city stops for one minute.
Not only in the Warsaw
It happens in most of cities in Poland
You should watch the live video of them performing this at Woodstock Poland (a festival in Poland now called Pol'and'Rock). Hearing the crowd of thousands shouting "Warszawo, walcz!" is incredible.
Yes! I definitely want to see that.
@@VloggingThroughHistory It's really awesome! Also, in the Sabaton History episode about this song, Joakim talks about how the band actually met a woman who fought in the uprising. He said he'll never forget talking to her and hearing her story.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Do see - been there and I still have goosebumps and tears in my eyes whenever I hear this song. As Sabaton has many many great songs about different wars and history moments my favourite I'd love to see in your stream are Talvisota (about Russian invasion of Finland) - most likely accompanied by THe White death, and immortal 40:1. Cheers!

My Mom survived Warsaw Uprising. Bunch of stories she told me about it were both electrifying and terrifying.
Actually being in the heart of the turmoil - the Old Town.
Aces in Exile covers those airmen
Aces in exile then straight on to 40:1!
and don't forget "inmate 4859"
did you mean aces in exile?
They actually have a second song that has to do with the polish resistance. It's called inmate 4859 and tells the story of witold pileki who was a very important person in this resistance (and also escaped from auschwitz at one point)
and 40:1, about the battle of wizna, shows how beast like the polish troops were and how they would rather die than surrender
And aces in exile
in our city pilecki is kinda meme and hero prob because he lived here
Witold Pilecki, who VOLUNTARLY went to Auschwitz in order to gather intel, so the Home Army could report that to the Allies (who did not believe in atrosities there), who escaped that concentration camp, and then went back AGAIN in order to try and establish a resistance cell. Hunted and persecuted by communists, torutred and finally executed in 1948 for cooperation with nazis. Oh the irony and tragedy...
Twice. He did it twice
My Grandfather (92 this year) Told me alot of sad stories from that time , his father was taken in the middle of the night by SS never to be seen again , then they took him his mother and 2 brothers to concentration camp where his mother didn't even survive 1 month ( she was splitting the little food they gave them between her sons ) , sleeping conditions were terrible always cold and the bedbugs were everywhere... this is just a portion. Oh and about 8-9 years back Grandfather got to know what happend to his father ( the way he died , not his body unfortunately ) , while trying to find out where lies his father because he was trying to find him for a long time he met a guy who claimed he knew what happend because he was part of it , SS took a large group of people to a horse track or smth ( i dont know the exact name in english ) and told them to run , and the last few who are still running will survive. So the guy who told the story was one of those few , and as sad as it is the father of my grandfather didn't make it... There is much fun and epic songs and stories about the time of war , but when you hear things like that it puts all those ,,amazing'' things to a perspective. Best wishes from Poland
You would want to watch live version performance from Woodstock festival in Poland, definetly worth your reaction ;)
I thinl 40:1 is the best live one
@@matsv201 The Uprising is great too :), but 40:1 is one hell of memory :D i've been there...
Ghost division and 40:1 are the best live to me at least
We have a saying in Poland... Blue on our flag stands for allies. And it's still very much alive.
Never heard of that
Od kiedy Polska ma niebieską flagę?-
@@annapondo2056 o to chodzi, Polska nie ma niebieskiego na fladze i dlatego niebieski symbolizuje polskich sprzymierzeńców, bo wielokrotnie w historii była przez nich pozostawiona sama sobie, więc tak jakby ich nie miała
@@misfortvne5017 A dobra, nie skumałam wcześniej
There's a museum in Warzaw dedicated to World War 2 and a large part of it is about the uprising. Among many personal artefacts are the armbands the resistance members wore and seeing them along with the exhibit makes it such a close and personal and intense look at history. Every one of them suddenly becomes real in a whole new way. If you even have your way past Warzaw I can only recommend visiting The Warzaw Rising Museum.
Thanks for all the amazing content and insights into history!
You'll love all of Sabaton's music as a historian. They make sure to verify that their lyrics are accurate by asking experts.
I've been very impressed by their clear desire to get it right, so to speak.
@@VloggingThroughHistory they really do a great job, you can tell they have respect for the topic. I like their songs about Sweden's rise and fall the most because you can really feel the emotion and effort they put into it. They've got english and Swedish versions for all of those!
@@VloggingThroughHistory Sabaton has won quite a few rewards by WW1 societies and even got a sword from the Bishop in poland for singing 40:1. The famililes of some of the soldiers even reach out to them (Franz Stigler and Audie Murphy for example). These guys and Civil War are great for doing historical music. Rock on man!
With the 'allies tourned away' line joakim is talking not about betrayal of 1939,but when teheran conferrence happened,poland was given away by the allies to stalin as sort of 'gift' to improve relations,and for poles the consequences were:communist poland for 44 years,mass murdering of polish war heroes etc.,and soviets didnt help us but watched us die,beacuse if underground polish state would win uprising,it would be underground state not soviets which would be polish rulers
It really refers to several moments throughout WWII in regards to Poland. The phony War, then during the uprising The Western Allies tried to send aid ONCE through airdrops but they dropped them where the Germans were and never tried again, then the Soviets stopping and basically allowing the Germans to crush the uprising, and The Teheran conference
There's a great book called "Diary from the Warsaw Uprising", written by a man who lived through it as a young adult. He didn't actively take part in the fighting, he was just a civilian. It does a great job of giving you polish perspective on the allies, the occupation and the soviets.
In polish schools it's mandatory to read it.
"Because we not begging for freedom, we fighting for it"
gen Witold Urbanowicz 303
Soldier of 3 Armies is one you should look up.
As I understand it the video was shot in Polen with Polish actors and one or some of the resistance commanders was the video was played by real Polish military officers. The German Commander is played by Swedish actor Peter Stormare that been in a few Hollywood Movie, German car commercials and the psychotherapist in the game Until Dawn. I also heard that a museum in Warsaw dedicate to the uprising feature this music video.
The movie is called '63 Days of Glory"
You should see their live performance of this song in Poland. The crowd’s one of the most enthusiastic I’ve ever seen.
Also recommend “Inmate 4859”, which is about Witold Pilecki, “Rise of Evil” (Hitler’s rise to power), “Nuclear Attack” (Hiroshima and Nagasaki), and “Swedish Pagans” (Vikings!)
I always thought "Help that never came." referred to the allies at the start of the war. I never knew the uprising had the strategic purpose it had, and the Soviet proximity. Thank you for teaching me that!
I'm afraid you are partially wrong about "Allies turned away". It's definitely beginning of the world war but it's also about Teheran conference (and later in Yalta) where allies agreed that Poland will become the area of stalin's influence. Churchil and Roosevel allowed Stalin to do absolutely terrible things in Poland and promised not to interfere with that. We lost freedom for next 50 years... after the war - Stalin enforced the law that made polish army heroes who fought agains germans in Poland and everywhere else (including battle of Britain) the renegades who were chased and killed (that includes my grandfather) I wish Sabaton would some day write a song about one of the killed heroes - Witold Pilecki. This guy went voluntarly to Auschwitz concentration camp and escaped from there to write the report on what is happening in Poland. Allies decided to bury this report and he was sentenced to death after the war by Stalin's lackeys.
to learn more about it just watch the sabaton history uprising episode, which is one of the specials presented by Spartacus Olsson. One of my favorites. Along with the Flanders Fields episode.
Also, Sabaton has a song about those pilots: Sabaton - Aces in Exile
Probably one of the most well know stories of the polish fighting spirit is the Polish destoryer ORP Piorun. During the final encounter with the KMS Bismarck the Piorun closed into close enough range that every gun on the ship was firing at the Bismarck. The entire time it was using a spot light to singal in Morse Code "I am a Pole" to the Bismarck.
Also can't forget the quote from First Sea Lord, Sir Dudley Pound when he was awarding a polish submarine crew "Last night I asked my Chief of Staff to give me a list of all Polish warships fighting alongside the Royal Navy. I was shocked to learn how few they are because in all despatches of naval operations and major engagements I almost always find a name of a Polish ship that distinguished itself."
After hearing the opinions of some polish friends, the country doesn't seem to be "doing soo great" like you say. There are many problems there, just like everywhere in current times. I do love your reactions and I learn a lot from your vids though!
Whenever I listen to this song, it's gotta be the live version at Woodstock Poland. 550,000 Poles screaming the words just hits different.
These Sabaton reaction videos are awesome!
If General Patton were the main commander of the Allied forces, we, the Poles, would chase the Ruthenians with you from the Vistula and we would have a drink :)
The civilians in the uprising were idols the same as the soldiers
you should react t the winged hussears! its a really nice song of them (sabbaton) and there are made a lot of memes of that song XD so maybe also do a reation to some of them afterwards....
love the vids, keep it up!
What an incredible channel, you seeems to be a very passionate historian, great vid. Can you also react to IPN-Unconquered? Lots of love from Poland!
Also linked into this is Prisoner 4589. The end briefly references things that happened after the uprising. However, that's not the amazing part of the story...
If anyone scrolls down enough then have some knowledge:
1. The "P" sign, with the bottom that looks like a fishing hook that was shown a couple times in the clips, is a combination of P and W and means "Polska walcząca" so in English "fighting Poland", during the whole war scouts and children too young to actually fight would paint it on walls and building to remind people to never give up hope
2. One more thing they would paint was "pPp" or a turtle for "pracuj Polaku powoli", which roughly translates to "Poles, work slowly", since a lot of Poles were forced to work in factories supplying Nazis people making the signs urged them to make the items as slowly as possible to inconvenience the oppressors
My favorite part is when they shout in Polish too. Thank you for giving some context while people are watching. The Polish Uprising is a sad time for all of use. Good video
I'm American, and i think that the situation in Poland isn't good. Let's hope to raise awareness of it. Poland deserves to be preserved !!
I just found your channel this morning and I adore your Sabaton reaction videos. I'd love to see your take on the song Winged Hussars
The polish were some hardcore fighters, never giving up despite the overwhelming force disparity arrayed against them at every turn, and being left high and dry by their allies multiple times. Gotta respect that no matter who you are. It's a shame that Poland's contribution to WWII is remembered (at least as far as American school/texts books are concerned) as "was invaded by the Germans, and lost very quickly, is the start of WWII", that is, if they are even mentioned at all.
True...true..and one more thing we are not any heroes we just do not like when a red German enters our house, in the usa you are shooting for an intruder or not? :)
Uprising (Powstanie) of ´44, so inspiring, heroic and yet so inhumanly tragic chapter in the history of my Beloved City (where I was born...) After the oktober 2nd, germans went house to house burning and blowing buildings up, destroying I think 91% of the city. not a quater, 91%. Brits and americans did not come to help, there were no airdrops done by them, only airdrops were done by polish bomber squad which reluctantly got permission to do so by the allied HQ. Stalin gave permission for those planes to land on soviet airfields only in late september, when the fate of the Uprising was sealed. There were few drops done by russians, from about 1000 meters, the carnisters with supplies deliberately missing parachutes, which resulted in all supplies being destroyed upon hitting the ground. There is so much more, so much more, and so little space. Also, I live in Sweden for 30+ years so my deepest respect and gratitude to Sabaton for this song as well as to Peter Stormare for participating in the video.
Stalin ordered the Red Army to halt in the suburbs, within miles of Warsaw. Stalin's plan the entire war was to take over Poland. Before the uprising he pressured the underground to fight, and promised to aid with artillery and air cover, upon uniting with the Polish units. The day of the uprising, Artillery fell silent. Aircraft remained grounded. His Red Army halted. Stalin knew the uprising was doomed without support, and he threw Poland to the wolves as Germany increasingly pulled in reserve units to counter the uprising. But still, the Polish Underground, a ragtag unit of Home Army, POW's and civilians alike were able to hold off the Germans for 63 days with no reinforcements, and weapons and clothing consisting of smuggled or captured weapons throughout the 5 years of occupation. As you mentioned, FDR, Churchill, and the Polish government in exile pleaded to at least fly supply drops and land in Soviet airspace, but Stalin wouldn't have it. It was only until the last few days of the uprising did Stalin give the green light and few supplies landed (most supplies dropped outside of the very small pockets that Poland still held) and fell into German hands, but by that point it was much too late (Stalin knew this, only giving the green light when it was futile to say "See? I gave support"). For Stalin, the Polish resistance and fight for their own Independence was extinguished. SS Units took prisoners, evacuated the city and reduced Warsaw to rubble. Not 25%, rather 90% of the city, it's history and heritage was destroyed. Over 500,000 residents that remained were sent to labor and concentration camps. Rape and murder was rampant. Poland was betrayed so many times throughout the war, it's truly disgusting. One of the most loyal, ferocious, and determined ally in the war was used as a pawn by FDR and Churchill to appease Stalin. Reading "A Question of Honor" really changed the way I look at WW2 and the "good guys". I may only be a sliver Polish, but man do I feel their honor and spirit deeply.
I applaud your knowledge. Also, I love that book, have read it many times, and at times it is hard to hold back the tears...
Bruh. No one is a Good Guy in war.
A Wise man once said
"War doesn't determine who is Right only those who are left".
Meaning there will be no Good Guys.
Only Bad guys (Allied Powers) and Badder guys (Hitler for massacring an entire Population)
My grandmother and grandfather were in Warsaw during these days.. Both took a part in Uprising.
I dont remember my grandpa, he passed away when I was small girl.
My granny didnt want to say a single word about these times.
She didnt watch any movies about war too, when something like this was on the TV, she would immediately turn off TV.
She had this nightmare on her mind for the rest of her life.
If you want a very good source of more detailed informations about the uprising of Warsaw I think the best thing is the book by Norman Davies "Rising '44". Norman Davies is a British historian that in this book has really deeply analized the history of the Warsaw uprising since the prodromes 'till the sad end of the story. Furthermore another thing I remember my grannies always used to tell me about this story is that the Russians not only stayed at the outskists of Warsaw waiting that the uprising would have been struck down but they killed everybody that was trying to escape throught the Vistula river to reach the eastern shore (where the Soviet army was) to escape the nazis. And that hurts. We had no allies for our fight for freedom and those who were closest to the city, strategically, have betrayed us. And the few supplies thate the allies (U.S and U.K.) have parachuted on the city for the rebelliants were so poorely protected in an adequate way that they could not be used for the fight once they reached the ground from the planes. Really a sad part of our history, but nevertheless a great proof of what does it mean fighting for your freedom, even in despair and whithout the help of anybody. Warszawo walcz!!! I'm not a nationalist, but just proud of my city and thankful to be born in a free place thanks to those heroes that gave their lives so that i could enjoy my beloved city free again. Cześć i chwała Bohaterom!
very god damn time i hear this song i start tearing up
Polish insurgents waited impatiently for the day and hour of the uprising. Not paying attention to whether any of the allies will help. They even prepared themselves in small things, such as sewing the Polish emblem to a hat or sewing an armband with national colors. I am reminded of the story of our poet Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński, who at that time was 23 years old. He ran so fast to the uprising, because the appointed hour was approaching, that he almost lost his shoes on the stairs. He died in the uprising. One of the popular poems he wrote in March 1944 is
"Elegy about a Polish boy":
They separated you, my son, from dreams that tremble like a butterfly,
they embroidered sad eyes with red blood, my son,
they painted landscapes in yellow stitches of fires,
they embroidered the flowing sea with hanging trees.
They taught you, my son, your land by heart,
when you cut her paths with iron tears.
They raised you in darkness, they fed you with a loaf of fear,
you have blindly traversed the most shameful of human ways.
And you left, bright son, with a black gun into the night,
and you felt it bristle in the sound of minutes - evil.
Before you fell, you crossed the ground with your hand.
Was it a bullet, sonny, was it a broken heart?
6:06 Churchil knew. Polands fate has been already sealed in Teheran and Yalta.
So, I guess the end of the video means you're reacting to Aces in Exile soon?
I visited Warsaw and decided to go for a walk along the Vistula River east of the Old Town. The Soviets could've easily helped the Polish Resistance if they really wanted to, however they didn't want the Polish to liberate themselves, Stalin wanted to be seen as the one who liberated Warsaw. Poland were fucked from every direction, but as Joakim said, "They never lost their faith". I really loved my time in Poland (Australian).
My granddad survived the uprising.His twin sister died in front of him by german soldiers. 40 yers later he still had drums filled with sand in hus garage, and firearms in oil rags inside. Just in case.
You are a very good youtuber and make good for the world
Did you check out this song, and 40:1 at the woodstock concert in poland? the crowd adores them for these songs
I read somewhere that the Polish Independent Para Brigade were willing to land to support the" home army", but the Dakota's did not have the range to do it without landing in soviet zone and Stalin refused to allow it.
Good work but just a note here, in 2:55 you said the start of ww1 but its ww2
Did I? Oops! Definitely meant ww2.
@@VloggingThroughHistory blunders happens you said 1939 so all is good=)
its kinda awesome that Sabaton got Peter Stormare for this video.
The live version is awesome with the entire croud singing along
Just watched it. Awesome!
They should have recommended to you the 2019 live version, where they sung it in Warsaw. It is quite something else.
As a Pole I can say that people in Poland are still unnecessarily and disrespectfully discussing whether the decision about Uprising was good or bad choice. If someone is interested how Warsaw looked like after the Uprising there is acctualy a reconstruction of the destroyed city from the airplane view. The short film is called "Miasto Ruin" ["City of Ruins"] but I don't think you can watch full version of it anywhere in the Internet. For even more fascinating stories and informations you can visit Musem of Warsaw Uprising in Warsaw it's worth it to come here. But if someone have questions about polish history or less famous stories of Uprising or you are just interested about something I can tell you some things or just can help to find some good sources to take from.
Love from Poland and stay safe!
Thanks for your reaction. I like your comments , I appreciate your knowledge about our great country.
Sadly, the number of casualties on the polish side was 260,000 and not 20,000 :(
It makes me proud of being polish and that my nation never gave up, kept on fighting even though they had nearly nothing to lose.
Nice touch at 2:05 with Joaqim waving the flag
Joakïm?
Joaqim?
Idk
@@thedyingmeme6 close enough

You ask how those events are remembered today. Well, I've come to learn about Poland history and culture more and more. And I am truly amazed at how alive those memories are, even with the younger generation. The suffering experienced by the nation during this period (among others) has left very strong marks that sustained the passing of time. You just have to see the importance of the commemoration held every year on August 1th to convinced yourself of that. The halt of most activities and the deafening sirens are really gut clenching. There are numerous videos showing that
Who else wants a "To Hell And Back" reaction?
you should listen to aces in exile, it's about 303, 310 and 401 squadrons
the fun thing in the video they got Peter Stormare to play the SS general
My grandfather was 14 during the invasion, he was Jewish and his father sacrificed himself to save the family, buying them critical time to escape when the Nazis showed up at their door.
He never told me much about his time besides that, it wasn't until after he died that we discovered he had kept journals of what his life was like living in the polish wilderness.
Near the end of his life he and I listened to this song and it was the only time I ever saw him cry. He wasn't physically in Warsaw for the uprising but his spirit was.
Greetings from Poland.🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
5:23 85% buildings in Warsaw were destroyed.
"Help that never came", because they were expecting Soviet attack which could help a lot, but USSR was waiting till the end of the uprising cause it wasn't a communist uprising - The Home Army (Polish: Armia Krajowa) wanted democracy and capitalism in Poland
Greetings From Poland :)
wonderful with an American who knows his history. There are so many people on utube who watch videos and have zero clue. I think you got most of it. I can recommend Polish museums if you have the opportunity to go to them. Greetings from Sweden
Someone already told you to react to aces in exile so I will ask you to react to winter war by sabaton. I like your reactions because you know about the subject in general. Keep it up!
5:58 Russians had airport but they haven't borrowed it to allies.
You want to know how Warsaw Uprising is remembered in Poland?
Have a look here:
th-cam.com/video/ykBTvP6ZX9s/w-d-xo.html
😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏 chwała bohaterom!!!!!
Wolność mierzona jest krzyżami na cmentarzu historii. Dużo tych biało-czerwonych. Zawsze powtarzam sobie, że prawdziwi bohaterowie umierając nie tylko walczyli o naszą Wolność,ale woleli umrzeć niż żyć pod jakimkolwiek butem. Chwała bohaterom!
Fun Fact: Waldemar Skrzypczak, actual Polish general, is in this video playing one of the leaders of the resistance.
There's a joke I've seen, rather dark humor, that sometimes seems to sum up Polish history. The Polish flag is Red for courage, white for honor, and blue for reliable allies. :(
There is a movie City 44 which shows how it looks like that time
In Poland we have this frase: For Freedom yours and ours. And always our freedom is at the end. We must have always to be free.
you should see the live in warsaw recording from their concert there its intense
Sabaton 40:1
About a polish soldier numbering 720 defending wizna against the germa. In ww2
Miasto 44 is a great film about the Warsaw Uprising. There are a couple of scenes in the film that are hard to believe but actually
did happen during this fight.
LOVE Sabaton 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I hope you can do the sabaton history episode of this song, it's one of my favourite episodes
As for how it's remembered in Poland, it bacame somewhat of a symbol of Polish resistance during WWII, 1st of August in now a national remembrance day, people go out into the streets and city centre and every year at 5pm on 1st of August the whole Warsaw and with it the whole country stops to remember what happened that day.
We are not tought about WWII untill quite a late stage in our education (clearly a faulty education system) so what people know about it they tend to find out on their own and people tend to know a good amount, even those who did not go into higher education. We are tought about the Warsaw uprising though fairly early and those schools who are able to often wisit Auschwitz in the final year of high school (so at around 16yo)
9:53 they have a song about them. Try aces in exile for a song about the polish and French pilots in the RAF
5:20 maby a quarter of the building had their basments still intact xd. I think 80 to 85% of buildings in Warsaw (the whole city not just the centre) were destroyed
According to British historian Norman Davies ("God's playground" and "Rising '44: The Battle for Warsaw"), the tradition and spirit of the Warsaw Uprising, helped Poles to survive the next 45 years of Russian occupation, that followed the uprising in Warsaw and was in the roots of anti-communistic "Solidarity" movement, that broke communism and the Warsaw Pact from inside.
Aces in Exile next!! It’s about the fighter squadron you were taking about!!
Sabaton - Inmate 4859 about Witold Pilecki, you should watch this.
Remember that, Red Army didnt attack Poland when Nazi did it, but USSR attacked Poland in 17 September, so allies could help Poland in the first days of WWII
All buildings in Warsaw was destroy more than 90% of city
look real photo ;) Peace from Poland !
Soviet soldiers: So ummm should we help the Poles?
Stalin: Nope. Cause you might be fighting them in the future.
Watch some of the IPNtv videos, the best one is Unconquered :)
that is why poland is one of the very few countries in Europe that have not succumbed to the silly notion of open borders, they have had both fascists and communist controlling them and "never again" still mean something in poland today
Can't help but to think of modern day when seeing this video. Is Ukraine the new Poland, where we in the west just sit and do nothing?
5:23 not a quarter but about 80% of Warsaw was destroyed and when the war ended the new comunist government didnt wanted to rebuild Warsaw but the people that lived in Warsaw and the people that fought in uprising rebuild it them selfs some times without any help and today there is old museum that used to be a bank before the war that survived the uprising and there are still bullet holes and artillery shels in it
I will sub
2:53 o shit dident know that the natizs existed in ww1
The reason Stalin stopped outside the city was that he didn't want to endanger his own troops and wanted the uprising to not only cause severe casualties to the Germans but also to be wiped out as there would the be less resistance with his occupation
Not defending his actions by any means but I'm 99% sure that's what his reasons were
Also, Stalin had a personal hate for the Poles, due to his defeat in the Polish-Soviet War in 1920.
5:29 it was actually like 80% of Warsaw that was destroyed during and after uprising. Only part that remained was the part that was took by Soviets.
Add this to the many reasons to despise the Soviet Union and Communism.
dude, imagine an Assassin's Creed game in WW2 Warsaw
Glory to the hero’s of the Warsaw uprising!
