- 04.07.1940 camp Douglas, near Glasgow (Scotland)
Obrazek tytułowy: SBSP w Norwegii, Niemiecki znak z napisem: "Polscy żołnierze: Chcecie wy nadal za Anglię bez znaczenia krew waszą przelać, przyjdźcie bez broni donas, droga do Warszawy jest wam otwarta"
Title board: Polish Highlander Brigade in Norway, on a German sign in Polish (poorly translated) "Polish soldiers: would you still bleed for England meaninglesly, come to us without weapons, the road to Warsaw is open for you"
Polacy po przybyciu do Brytanii, zostali skierowani do Szkocji, gdzie w pobliżu Douglas, Biggar i Crawford założyli obozy.
Every single one of those Poles had an amazing story just to GET to england, then they turned around and joined a Polish Unit to fight their way back into Poland, then they had to wait 50 years of Soviet Domination to get their country back.
I hope some are still alive to see it.
My father was perhaps one of them since he was there during the war. He was a polish submariner and he married in Glasgow :) Thank you for the viewing
My granddad was Polish I think he came from Warsaw and I think his unit might have been in Scotland though I am unsure because my granddad died before I was born. He was in the Polish Cavalry then I think his unit was disbanded and he joined the Polish Infantry while serving in Scotland he met and married my granny and my granddad settled in Edinburgh where he went to become a chef working in a restaurant called The Beehive in the Grassmarket in Edinburgh he worked there until he retired.
nice; if only Polish were so easy to learn lol :)
btw, I am not looking to learn Polish, I just read some Swedish and Finnish for genealogy purposes...tack :)
Cute. Being from Scotland my self, it caught my interest.
I like how they said "good evening" at the end of the clip, they sounded tired, that English lesson might have been pretty long.
How on earth did they manage to escape the country?
its is indeed very likely to be Douglas where the poles were stationed soon after landing from France, still equipped with french uniforms before the issue of british battle dress uniforms.It is however condemning of the English press to describe it as England when indeed it is Scotland... or at the very least Britain. It simply tarnishes the memory of all the brave Scots servicemen man and women who served Britain in the cause for freedom in WW2.. NOT England .1st-mac.com ( polish tribute )
Hitler told Gobels in an off hand jest that shows some insight to the fortitude of the polish soldier of ww2;::'Give me Polish soldiers and German technology,and I'll conquer the whole planet.
Skomentuj ten film... Zgadza sie! Na zamku w Edynburgu jest nawet gablota z polskim mundurem i adnotacja, ze Polacy byli lubiani ;)
We have to remember that back in the day 'England' was used, and accepted, as a shorthand for the UK as a whole (however jarring now), without any particular disrespect intended; plus, it might just be a statement of misinformation for any interested parties trying to locate Polish forces within the UK . . .
Wotjek bear :D
@boxermacy oh yes you are...
It was there is a Polish garden to remember the brave
Musieli być niedawno ewakuowani, gdyż umundurowani są jeszcze w mundury francuskie.
W Szkocji czy w Angli?
@kashoob2123
I think you have to go a Loooong way to claim the Yanks sold out the Poles at
Yalta. Poland WAS after all, between Germany and Russia, and 2,000 miles
from Britain and 12,000 miles from America. How exactly was the west
supposed to win there, and save Poland?
And yet again, ignorant english people over look the efforts of Scotland in the war, how dare they refer to the United Kingdom as "england" all the time. Do they not know what "UNITED kingdom" means?.
@Hexe486 kogho obchodzi twoja opinia o UE dla Anglii i Szkocji? przestań najebanym przesiadywać na YT bo tylko sobie siare robisz..wracaj pucować sie kolegom z UK.'pozdrowienia' ?? muahahha jaki mosiek :)
