The grave of the unknown soldier is not just a symbol but a real grave. It contains the remains of an unidentified soldier, brought during a special ceremony from the cemetery of the Defenders of Lviv.
Really good vlog. Beautiful views of Warsaw. Appropriate, true information. And good that You visited the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Thanks. By the way, about the uprising, it's true that it ended in the deaths of 200 000 of Polish civilians and destruction of Warsaw in over 80%. However, back then, after so many years of horrible, brutal German occupation and genocide, people really wanted to fight against Germans. And they wanted also to show Soviets that this is their land, their country, that they would fight for it's freedom (they remembered after all very well to which horrible atrocities Soviets are capable of, no better than Germans).
13:35 well, actualy, when Warsaw Uprising started, Soviet Army was on the outskirts of city... They stood there for 2 months and just watched as citizens of Warsaw were murdered... once 90% of city buildings were destoroyed, and German forces left the ruins... "victorius" soviet Army "captured" the city from Germany...
Totally wrong. When Uprising started, Soviet Army was still quite far from outskirts of the city. They didn't relax and Warsaw destroyed, in fact they were engaged in huge and bloody battle. Battle of Wolomin - Radzymin is regarded by military historians as 3rd biggest tank battle of WW 2 ( after Kursk and Falaise, but ahead of El Alamein ). During first days of August 1944 German forces launches vicious counter-attack and halted Soviet Army. Commander of 1st Byelorussian Front, marshal K. Rokossowski was in real trouble. He was ordered to seize Praga on eastern bank of Vistula on 2nd of August and enter centre of Warsaw on 6th of August. Instead his forces were in desperate defence. His main strike force, 2nd Panzer Army lost about 80% of tanks and finally had to be withdrawn for reinforcement. Several units were encircled and totally annihilated. German threw everything they had into the battle, including elite H. Goering SS Panzer Division moved in great hurry from Italy. There is a very detailed short film ( "Bitwy Swiata - Bitwa pod Warszawa 1944r ) by young vlogger Martinn showing battle in detail.
Continuation. It is really worth watching because all units are specified clearly with numbers and movements are shown on each day. East part of Warsaw, Praga, was finally captured on 13 - 14 th September by Soviet and Polish forces On 15th units of 1st Polish Army started crossing Vistula and formed 3 bridgeheads. All of them were destroyed during next 10 - 12 days. More than 3000 Polish soldiers were killed ( 3 times more than during famous battle of Monte Cassino ), about one third drowned in the river. Experienced city-assault units from Czujkov's army were to be engaged to follow the attack but due to Polish failure it never happened. Sadly such a biased view is presented in Warsaw Uprising Museum. You can hear museum lecturers talking to young audience (schoolchildren): Red Army sat on the other side of the river and just watched the dying city. Not even a word about extermination of Polish troops on the bridgeheads. There are very interesting memories from South African and British pilots, lucky survivors of Warsaw airlift but not even a word about such airlift ( much smaller, only after 17th of September ) performed by Red Army. Stalin was of course an enemy of Polish Home Army and was always trying to annihilate it but in fact he wanted to capture Warsaw in August 1944 ( and deal with Polish patriots later, as previously in Lwow or Wilno ).
@@OtharSmirnow Complete nonsense. Units of 1 Polish Army crossed Vistula after 15 September 1944, but Russians didn't shoot at them. They were decimated by German fire from west bank of the river; about 2500 were lost ( killed, drowned ) during following 10 days.
No chłopie za wiedzę o Polsce dostałeś ode mnie suba. Zaimponowałeś mi tą wiedzą. Niewielu obcokrajowców zna choć trochę historię Polski i ją jako tako rozumie. Przytłaczająca większość nie ma pojęcia gdzie jest i co widzi, a już na pewno nic z tego nie rozumie. Interesują ich tylko ładne obrazki i imprezowe knajpy.
Hmm, I think it's as beautiful as a "postcard beauty", and has lots of fascinating places. It also has a lot of various, large beautiful parks that have been created since the Baroque period, several of them are considered pearls of European parks (Łazienki, Ujazdowski, Skaryszewski), and one of them (Skaryszewski - created in the 1920s) was included in the top three most beautiful parks in the world by National Geographic. I love Warsaw.
17:35 Well, the main factor of Poland's fate and it's falling into Stalin's hands was conference in Jalta, when both, Churchill and Roosevelt, wiped out Poland from map of Europe. Sad but true

That was really interesting and beautiful. I loved the editing in this one and the music you chose complimented the footage so nicely and gave that extra emotion for such an important and historic place
Great job Mate! You were very prepared and it was pleasing to listen to you speaking about history of Warsaw from you! We will wait for more videos like this! Have a good day!
We walk the streets of Warsaw, pass all these buildings, monuments... And we don't think about it, because we do it every day. It was great to see it all through your eyes.... Warsaw is a beautiful city. Thank you Rob.... What song is this 7:15
,to jest piękne miasto, mimo tego co przeszło. Jak Feniks z popiołów . Nie mieszkam w Warszaszwie, ale doceniam bohaterów, dziś wiemy że.... Sami się doszkolcie
Thanks Rob! What amazing video. Definitely the best video that l watched made by you. Even polish people won't to make it better. I watched with curiosity. Very interesting. Congratulations Rob. We appreciate your efforts.
Beautiful drone shots, great editing and very informative for such a short format. On whole another level. Amazing. Looking forward to more. Thank you. Moreover, thank you for calling Germans for what they really were at that time. And special thanks for correctly respresenting the truth about Russians as backstabbing oppressors and not our allied saviours. I understand things have changed since but history is history, let's not change it in the name of political correctness. Mad respect. o7
In 10:52 you are passing the street where I used to live :) And just when you filmed the granite wall at the back of Warsaw Upraising Museum please remember the names which are graved there are the names of fallen Upraising soldiers who gave their lives in this fight. There is a name of my auntie there, her name was Henryka Barbara Żylak. She, among so many others gave her life for our freedom. It is easy, when you want to find a person on this wall you just need to see at the book, which is in front of the wall, and when you know the name you can easily locate the person on the wall. And thanks!!! it's so great you came to Warsaw, finally. And thanks for such beautiful pictures of my bellowed city!
Beautiful pictures of Warszawa, Rob. I live by the seaside and haven't been there for 14 years. I think it's time to take my kids for a trip to meet the capital.
6:32 that ice skating ring is there only for winter... other times, you can easily take yourself a photo with that mermaid in center ;) Also whole that square is usually taken by nearby restaurants, who set up ubrellas and tables for their guests there.
Mała korekta do stwierdzenia, że polski rząd był w podziemiu. W podziemiu było kilku wysłanników i zwykli ludzie, natomiast polski rząd już w połowie września 1939r uciekł i zostawił nas na łasce i niełasce okupantów. I to samo nam teraz szykują, ustawa wprowadzona, złoto wyprowadzone, apartamenty przygotowane i znowu będą dzielnie nas bronić, wcześniej wpychając nas do wojny.
18:50 fun fact about that place -> it used to be Paint factory, but few years back investor took the land, build additional ceiling above original buildings. You cans till see original factory buildings, railroad tracks, or machines that were used in factory.
Thumbs up for actually caring for our history and appreciating it! Will you try more "natural" side of Poland as well? If so, please, visit Poland in October when everything is beautifully colorful and happy looking :D I especially recommend mountainous regions, like Pieniny (absolutely stunning during autumn), Bieszczady (called the most wild polish mountains) and my beloved Tatras (if you're up for a little more difficult hiking, but there are also some easy trails) The mountains have plenty of legends and history as well, regional clothing and cooking, and of course amazing wildlife
About 10 years ago I saw a fantastic documentary about Warsaw's old town, produced by the BBC. It's worth watching. I especially recommend it to foreigners.
The Warsaw Uprising (it seems to be the largest battle of World War II, or one of the largest) in the summer of 1944 - initially victorious, but the Russians allowed the Germans to return to Warsaw (basically encouraged them) and suppress it after more than 3 months of heavy fighting. Earlier, the Poles (Polish resistance movement - Home Army), as part of the Storm Plan (Plan Burza), liberated (as the decisive force) what is now southern Lithuania, western Belarus and western Ukraine (at that time these were the eastern parts of Poland). It is worth recalling that the Soviets invited the commanders of these victorious troops of the Home Army to a party in Lviv (practically liberated by Poles) to "celebrate the common victory" that moved the eastern front significantly forward. Polish officers, thinking that it was a celebration prepared by the Allies for the Allies, came to the party, where the Soviets arrested (and later - shot them after torture). They also started hunting down the Polish anti-German resistance movement and killing its members. The Warsaw Uprising was supposed to be an element of the same Storm Plan (at that time, the still successful). The Soviets could have easily advanced into Poland already in the summer of 1944. But they preferred to kill Poles at the same time, pretending to be friends, in order to pave the way for the communists brought from Moscow. This is actually extremely disgusting, but typical of Stalin.
Good, true comment about how this so-called "liberation" by Russians looked like (and always looks like this). In fact, they were doing the same, or even worse things, that Germans did.
Just back to UK from Poland, it`s great that the Poles are very patriotic & love their country, if you are like that in the UK people call you "far right".
Tekst tłumaczenia With those drone shots, your vlogs Rob, it's a whole other level of presentation of what you want to show. Plus the music and narration about the history of the different places you visit. Congratulations, you are making great progress. I look forward to seeing a video like this from the City of Kraków. Greetings from Krakow!
Thank you! Appreciate it 😁 I have done lots of vlogs from Poland now and 4 from kraków. th-cam.com/play/PLw4JaWCFm7FeHG7Ad5PtaZzoYd1Vq5EXW.html&si=0pQvDZTHb1iyCa-s
Beautiful movie bro. Beautiful content Rob. Best places in lovely beautiful Warsaw to visit is definitely Warsaw 1944 Rising Museum. Definitely best place in Warsaw. After Old Town Warsaw. Castle in Warsaw bro. Afer that is museum of Legia Warszawa stadium. Gift of rub.... stalin for Poland.Metro in Warsaw definitely visit. No more others Polish cities. Only lovely Warsaw. National stadium in Warsaw Poland in Prague. Did you been in Castle of Warsaw bro?? Did you see sala of Hans Frank in Warsaw rising museum??? Did you see soviet sala in Warsaw rising museum??? Amazing. All the best for you Rob. PS. 1.8.1944 We remember RIP 🙏 [*]. WARSAW THE CITY THAT SURVIVED ITS OWN DEATH. Take care Rob. Enjoy in lovely beautiful capital of Poland 🇵🇱 ❤️ Warsaw. Godbless. Greetings from Leicester. All the best.
Fine vlog :) I like how you present Polish history. One thing: barbakan is only the big round gateway leading to the Old Town. There are still such constructions in many Polish cities, like Cracov and Warsaw. The city walls are called mury miejskie.
Just discovered this channel, and i have to congratulate you on the way you narrated your visit to the Warsaw uprising museum. My girlfriend is Polish, from Lublin, and i have visited the Majdanek concentration camp and the Zamek were prisoners were held by the Russians. Seeing all this history affected me for weeks. I could see that you were affected in the same way. Cheers!
Lublin person here. I'm in awe that you mentioned my city in the context of WW2. Not many foreigners even know about its existence, let alone any historical knowledge.
I've been living in this city for so many years and I know all these places, but after watching your video I feel like putting on my shoes, grabbing a backpack and visit them again ❤
@CharlieandRob That's not a problem for me. I'm used to long walks. Recently I'm working overtime and I'm too tired when I get back home, but spring is coming, so I guess it's high time to move more 🙂
Waiting for part#2 until, i flood you with recommendations of places you should visit in Warsaw next time: either by yourself or with Charlie (like garden on top of Warsaw University Library... with looks amazing in spring/summer)
My grandfather took part in the uprising defend the oldtown. That’s what the Warsaw uprising meusium . Told me they even told me what sewer he escaped through
Good movie. I've been in Warsaw not so long ago. If you get lost in tiny streets between the Old Marked Town and the Barbakan you could find the house of former city mayor from 17 cent Alexander Chalmers. He was Scottish from Aberdeen - Dyce.
The Old Town also includes the so-called New Town, which has its own Rynek. The New Town Rynek looks completely different from the Old Town Rynek (Rynek Nowego Miasta), but it is also nice. Near the New Town Rynek (New Town Square) there is the oldest brick Gothic church in Warsaw.
My family survived. Survived the Wola Massacre and what came after. Came back and rebuild
A well-told history of Warsaw. Poland needs ambassadors like Rob. Good job
Fajnie, że są ludzie co nie przylatują tylko się napić i dobrze zjeść, ale poznać historię Warszawy. Pozdrawiam
There is certainly a lot of history to learn about!
The grave of the unknown soldier is not just a symbol but a real grave. It contains the remains of an unidentified soldier, brought during a special ceremony from the cemetery of the Defenders of Lviv.
Są tam pochowane prochy niezidentyfikowanych żołnierzy z wielu pól bitewnych a to robi różnicę 👋
Wielki szacunek Rob za to, że chcesz poznawać historię Polski i jak trafne wyciągasz z niej wnioski.
Dzięki za ten film.Uświadomisz Brytyjczykom prawdziwą historię Wojny Światowej .Pracuj tak dalej.
Fajnie, że odwiedziłeś to ważne muzeum👍🙂
Good job Rob. You have to watch City 44 ( Miasto 44 in polish ). This movie is about Warsaw Uprising and how Warsaw looked like ;)
„Warsaw 44” is the english name.

Ta, ode mnie tez, lezka w oku sie zakrecila. Thanks Rob 🌷I hope there's more to come.

G'day robbo just wanted to say I'm really enjoying these videos on Poland very interesting
That's great to hear. There is a crazy amount of history!
Nice to see a review form the foreigner who UNDERSTANDS... respect for diving a bit deeper than the others.
My pleasure!
Warszawa na przełomie zimy i wiosny jest straszna. Przyjedż tu w misiącu maju. Wszystko wtedy kwitnie i pachnie. Wtedy jest pięknie i charm.
Warsaw is a grate city. It may not be so much post card beauty, but its most vivid, inclusive, modern and cool place. Enjoy!
Hmm, I think it's as beautiful as a "postcard beauty", and has lots of fascinating places.

This is actually extremely disgusting, but typical of Stalin.
Good, true comment about how this so-called "liberation" by Russians looked like (and always looks like this). In fact, they were doing the same, or even worse things, that Germans did.
Just back to UK from Poland, it`s great that the Poles are very patriotic & love their country, if you are like that in the UK people call you "far right".

With those drone shots, your vlogs Rob, it's a whole other level of presentation of what you want to show. Plus the music and narration about the history of the different places you visit.
Congratulations, you are making great progress. I look forward to seeing a video like this from the City of Kraków.
Greetings from Krakow!
Thank you! Appreciate it 😁
I have done lots of vlogs from Poland now and 4 from kraków.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the videos
Fine vlog :) I like how you present Polish history.
One thing: barbakan is only the big round gateway leading to the Old Town. There are still such constructions in many Polish cities, like Cracov and Warsaw. The city walls are called mury miejskie.
I’ve actually been to that museum …wow brought back so many memories
Dziękuję 👍
Welcome to Poland Rob, you are truly a friend of Poland. Jestes Warszawiakiem (You are a Varsovian).
Thank you :)
Dziękuję kolego😊
w oczekiwaniu na wiosnę ;D
Rob, dziękuję 🥹🫡
Just discovered this channel, and i have to congratulate you on the way you narrated your visit to the Warsaw uprising museum. My girlfriend is Polish, from Lublin, and i have visited the Majdanek concentration camp and the Zamek were prisoners were held by the Russians. Seeing all this history affected me for weeks. I could see that you were affected in the same way. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed the vlog. Hope you will stick around for more :)
Thank's Rob for your informative guide to Warsaw.
Piękny materiał, dzięki.

Good job Rob, as always. Nice to see you in Poland again. Good luck and "życzę smacznego" ;)
Thanks for another exciting and informative tour!
Enjoy and I can’t wait for the next one 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great Job, Rob. Now You must watch Sabaton "Uprising" - official video - NOT live in festival, when You can watch oryginal pictures of Warsaw 1944
Royal Castle is about 50 years old. it was rebuild, before, after the war for 30 years there was only one wall left of it.
Great PLUS and RESPECT to you Rob for calling things by their names and knowing (some of the) Polish history!..
Forgive, but no forget!
Thank you!
Thank you❤
Thank you Rob
Lublin person here. I'm in awe that you mentioned my city in the context of WW2. Not many foreigners even know about its existence, let alone any historical knowledge.
Its on the list of places to come to :)
@@CharlieandRob Feel free to hit me up for recommendations when the time comes, I actually work in a tourist information centre here ;)
I've been living in this city for so many years and I know all these places, but after watching your video I feel like putting on my shoes, grabbing a backpack and visit them again ❤
Watch out as I did a lot of walking!
@CharlieandRob That's not a problem for me. I'm used to long walks. Recently I'm working overtime and I'm too tired when I get back home, but spring is coming, so I guess it's high time to move more 🙂
Thank you, Rob, for how you show Poland in your vlogs. Respect, often admiration, but honestly, without sucking up. Cheers good job mate.
Thanks Piotr. I am always honest and first to say when I don't like something. 😊
Waiting for part#2 until, i flood you with recommendations of places you should visit in Warsaw next time: either by yourself or with Charlie (like garden on top of Warsaw University Library... with looks amazing in spring/summer)
Rob, simply, I like you.
Thank you 😊
Very nicy vlog and by the way you put awesome music to his video.
We love You both (You and Charlie)
Thank you 😊

Beautiful video.
Thank you :)
It was śmietana at the end 😀
Dzięki za fachowość
My pleasure
Good movie. I've been in Warsaw not so long ago. If you get lost in tiny streets between the Old Marked Town and the Barbakan you could find the house of former city mayor from 17 cent Alexander Chalmers. He was Scottish from Aberdeen - Dyce.
Have You seen VR film about 44 Uprising („Kartka z Powstania”) in Hala Koszyki ? Got to !
Good job
Nice video with the touch of history.
The Old Town also includes the so-called New Town, which has its own Rynek. The New Town Rynek looks completely different from the Old Town Rynek (Rynek Nowego Miasta), but it is also nice. Near the New Town Rynek (New Town Square) there is the oldest brick Gothic church in Warsaw.
Ha, ha, you were on the Market Square, about 100 meters from the museum where I work :)
Uwielbiam Twoje filmy
Well done.
