I can't wait to see Indy explain how the Winged Hussars were a tiny proportion of the cavalry charge described in the song, and that most of the fighting was done by Imperial and Polish infantry. By the time the Polish Cavalry, including the Hussars, arrived to the battlefield, the Ottomans were already retreating under sustained fire, suffering massive casualties and wavering, on the verge of routing. The charge didn't turn the tide as much as deliver the coup de grâce. It never ceases to amaze me how the German and Austrian forces, who made up almost two-thirds of the army that beat the Ottomans and did most of the fighting, has been completely forgotten in the popular mind. Even the Polish Infantry, who thought like fucking lions for twelve hours straight against the Ottomans, have been erased from memory.
Jen'ari-asha well they weren't on the verge on routing. They were regrouping and preparing for an all out attack WHEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVE. And even then the Ottomans still held a numerical advantage. But I do agree that we shouldn't forget about the Austrians and Germans who also fought in the battle.
@@davyprayoga4276 Imperial forces had captured two key targets a full three hours before the charge, the villages of Oberdöbling and Unterdöbling. A combined assault from the three powers had taken the main Turkish fortification, the Türkenschanze. The Grand Vizier himself had been forced to abandon his position and retreat to his original headquarter in the camp since the Ottoman troops were getting pushed back so quickly that he would soon be in danger himself. A full two hours before the charge, Ottoman units were beginning to rout from the battlefield. Make no mistake - The Ottomans were losing the battle, and they were losing it with exponential speed as their frontline was being pushed back. They were exhausted, demoralised, and on the back foot. The cavalry charge didn't *turn* the battle, it *finished* it
Jen'ari-asha whether or not the winged hussars were there didn't change the outcome of the battle. Sure the Ottomans were losing but they weren't defeated. The winged hussars actually saved the lives of countless imperial and polish infantry. If the Ottomans were able to make an all out attack on the infantry they would still lose but the death toll would be a lot higher. So the winged hussars didn't really "end" the battle nor really "turn the tides" but merely accelerated the battle.
The Poles never gave up. Even while occupied, they secretly designed and mass-produced a sub machinegun. I remember reading that Polish lancers actually did make a few cavalry charges against the Germans, but only when it was appropriate (never against tanks - that one didn't happen) and usually very successfully. Some Polish pilots in France were given an obsolete plane (to be fair, the French also operated that design) that during the battle for that country, French command ordered those fighters grounded because they were so out-matched by German planes. The Poles flew them anyway, and still managed to knock German planes down. Do not tell a Pole he can't kill his enemy. He'll find a way.
Poles invented , improved anti tank gun , which was a great hit in the September campaign . There goes the story of Polish Ulans (Horsemen ) fighting against tanks ... It was a mobile Cavalry equipped with such guns , They made an escape , using flank fire against Panthers , passing by and bombarding with tank grenades . No one , with the right mind , charges against tanks ...
Pete Grusky Us Poles are crazy man... as a Polish American, 4th Generation, I’ll do something like that. Americans are crazy, Poles are crazy. Just a crazy combo.
Also the RAF Polish units, which were some of the most successful fighter units of the war. Poles fought throughout the war and they fought hard. There is very much a narrative of Poland rolling over to Germany which is just not true at all.
We Poles always sympathize with revolutions, uprisings... freedom. Even when Napoleon sent Polish troops to quench the uprising of French Haiti. Instead they joined the uprising and stayed. Fun fact: this is why even now you can find Haitian people who have dark skin colour but piercing blue eyes.
@@aleksanderczechowicz9155 Napoleon also sent his half Black General of cavalry to Haiti. Also Polish artesians arrived in the second year of the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia.
Finland is also full of heroes and stories. It's impressive how you stood up to Russia during WW2, and Simo Häyhä is a legend. He is well known in Poland
Imagine being one of those 700 poles defending Wizna against 40,000 Wehrmacht Soldiers and holding on for 3 days with only 12 bunkers and a few pillboxes with little anti tank weapons and machine guns. Just imagine the bravery of those soldiers. To bad the officer there killed himself with a grenade I would have loved to hear his soldier but I think sabaton did a wonderful job at visualizing that
@@matthewr3584 thats only heresay and as Indy said its out of charactor for Guderian. It sounds to me like he was just a stubborn bastard far too proud to surrender
The poles were like the Finns, they got free after WWI then in 39 got invaded by their previous overlords again and fought back, both lost their wars. They both fought a war they could not win and both fought ferociously
Well, Poles defeated Soviet Russia back in 1920, but hey came back in 1939 to stab Poland in the back. Both Poland and Finland showed great fight spirit in face of overwhelming enemy force.
Polish fought bravely against overwhelming enemy like finns. Unfortunately they lost and were opressed by Soviet over 4O year. Great at one song can unite whole nation so strongly.
@@pacthug4life so, attacking in the middle of civil war despite gaining independence by soviet government for free is "Poles defeated Soviet Russia back in 1920", while reconquering lost lands with huge Ukrainian and Belorussian population is "but they came back in 1939 to stab Poland in the back"? The hypocrisy of poles and their sympathizers is ridiculously stupid.
@@s4le First of all, Poland gained its independence from Germany not Soviet Russia. Central-Easter Europe was under German control according to the Treaty of Brest. Soviet Russia could not give Poland independence, because it had no control over the entities that constituted reborn Poland: The temporary Kingdom of Poland, Republic of Lublin and Duchy of Cieszyn. Second, Polish-Soviet War started with Russian attack on Vilnius (04.01.1919), it was Lenin who stated that "The road for the revolution to reach the west leads over the dead body of Poland", "We must direct all our attention to preparing and strengthening the Western Front. A new slogan must be announced: 'Prepare for war against Poland". When it comes to Polish eastern border, it is much more complicated than that, Symon Petlura gave Western Ukraine or Galicia to Poland in exchange for help against Soviet Russia (the Kiev offensive).After Ukrainians gained back Kiev, they failed to construct any state or army structures that would help prevent Russia from taking Kiev back, they put little over 24 000 troops, while Poland in 1920 put almost 750 000. Most of major cities in eastern Poland, like Lviv, Grodno, Vilnius were in majority Polish, while the countryside was mostly Ukrainian and Belorussian, that created a situation where creating a ethnic borders was basically impossible, one village was Polish, next one was Ukrainian. To avoid instability, Poland resigned from taking any major cities without significant Polish population like Minsk. Third, Yes, Soviet Russia did stab Poland in the back, because it attacked Poland without a declaration of war, breaking non aggression pact, Treaty of Riga and many other international treaties. I would call Russian historical revisionism "hypocrisy" PS. Why do all Russians who I meet on the internet are insulting everyone they disagree with. Cant You guys have a normal conversation?
I already love history, and the dedication Sabaton has put to their lyrics to make it accurate and the melodies has rekindled the love of rock in my heart.
As a first generation Polish American….Thank you guys. You honor us. I will do the same for this one-of-a-kind band and their associates. Naz Drowie!!!
In my freshman year in the university a partner and I had to prepare an oral presentation on a historical event. Just imagine their faces when the topic we picked was the battle of Wizna and our musical accompaniment was 40:1 lol
I truly love to get to know more about Wizna. Never before has history learning been so fun and headbanging. I thank Sabaton for letting us know about these obscure battles and make history learning quite fun and metal. Sabaton truly are among the best metal bands to ever come out, and I feel fortunate to have known them since 2008. Greetings from Philippines.
Not a big fan of Sabaton's music, but I respect the ever living shit out of them for their passionate dedication to history and not only including history in their art, but really making it the focal point. We need more artists like this.
Just think about it. Left all alone, with two powerful military forces attacking from two sides, poor Poland, having only recently regained independence, had to stand at arms again. They fought bravely, until they couldn't fight anymore. One of the soldiers who fought in defence of Poland in September 1939 was lieutenant Franciszek Wacławik, my great great grandfather. Along with many other Polish soldiers, he managed to evacuate to France. He enlisted in the Polish Armed Forces in The West. He fought in the French Campaign and after France fell, he returned in 1944, taking part in Operation Overlord. He was promoted a few times during the war, making it all the way to colonel. The war was won, but my great grand father couldn't return to Poland. The newly installed communist regime considered the soldiers who fought in the name of the fatherland to be "traitors, western spies and enemies of the people". Along with many of his brothers in arms, he couldn't go back home, under the threat of imprisonment or even death. After Stalin's death, Poland declared amnesty for the soldiers who fought in the west and he finally returned. He spent the rest of his life hoping for his country to regain freedom, but passed away too soon to see Poland liberate itself from the communist rule. He was laid to rest in a suit, but his belt had a really peculiar buckle. It came from his field uniform and bore the words "Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna", meaning "God, Honour Fatherland". Rest in peace, Colonel. We will never forget our brave soldiers, our ancestors.
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Putting a name and a face on someone who took part makes it easier to remember the events that unfolded so many years ago. May his memory never be forgotten!
@@comrademcsalty7676 except it would have happened to czechoslovakia and inevitability poland after... you seem to think the soviets and nazi's could be satisfied with what they had but fail to realise it was their downfall and the whole point of their war intentions. Should be a good enough indicator that those evil cunts were going to be evil regardless and poland was always in both cross hairs. Seeing as how we live in a world where both lost their power, it could easily be argued that in the end it was a much better result than giving one or the other power which hypothetically could have aided their cause, keeping them alive today. Think before you speak.
I remember the 2008 when the song came to Poland ;) That was a great moment. You know. Poland this time was free for 16 years. Nobody knew about Poland. And then. Foreign band sings about Poland. Extremely good song. Even in Poland many people didn't know about a lot of Polish history acording to the fact that during the times of communist of occpation, it was strongly forbidden to say about that. You guys really helped us to learn more about who We are :) In the very entertaining way. Even my grandmother listens to you. ;) Parents and other as well. Since this time you became my top band :)
Spirit of Spartans, death and glory. Soldiers of Poland, second to none. 🇺🇸❤🇵🇱 Love your channels Indy, you too Pär. Can't wait to see you guys in concert again 🇺🇸❤🇸🇪
The poles were definitely one of the fiercest fighting forces of the second world war, even if they were outnumbered, outgunned, and didn't even have the proper supplies to defend against an invasion. Yet they stood, they chose to fight to the end and held the wehrmacht for 3 days. It's truly ashame that such a country was tainted by the lies that we bestowed upon them, as an american every polish citizen has my deepest respect. Especially to those who serve(d), I'm am glad you were on our side
I imagine you guys can't do a concert in Poland without Uprising either...anyway, an opening act of a full battle re-enactment, I honestly can't think of anyone else who deserved such a opener.
Oh my god, I had no idea it was the allies that created that false narrative. Always assumed it was German propaganda. Thank to people like Indy and Sabaton for educating about how heroic the Polish really were!!
I have so much respect for the Polish people, they are a people and a nation that larger, more agressive and repressive nations and empires has again and again tried to snuff out, trample and eradicate, at best these powers have earned a short reprieve as Poland and its people cannot be held down, like a phoenix they raise again and again! Glory to Poland and much respect from Sweden!
As a man of Polish descent, this song and Uprising never miss to bring a tear to my eyes. Thanks. And even without that, you are just bloody talented, so... well keep rocking!
Heavy Metal and History!!! That’s why I LOVE Sabaton!!! Also: The polish call this their version of Thermopylae? I’m now envisioning the Polish Captain all like: Captain Reginas: Madness? THIS! IS! POLAND!!! (Pulls Grenade)
Germany: *Takes over Austria* Allies: 😴 Germany: *Takes over Czechoslovakia* Allies: 😴 Germany: I am going to invaded Poland! Allies: What! No Poland for you! Germany: *Invades Poland anyway* Allies: 😰
This is so awesome!! Really love to here the stories behind the songs.. And about the Polish, they even helped liberating The Netherlands after what they have been trough. So thank you Polish soldiers, so much respect for you!
In my high school history class, even our damned textbooks perpetuated the lie about "the last of the Hussars" charging tanks they thought to be make of cardboard. It is DISGUSTING the disservice heaped upon Eastern Europe in World War 2 in the United States. I'm of Polish decent and even I didn't know the truth until I came of age and found out for myself! Thank you, Sabaton, for what you do!
Sabaton, you my Swedish Friends (i'm also from sweden) have the greatest music in the world!!! Never quit! I've bought every album of you and i can't wait till the next album!!! The best song i know is Gott Mit Uns 2nd is Carolus Rex! I know most lyrics of the songs! Wished i could come to a live concert! Saving up for one so i can go to it in 2020/2021! Have a great time! love you Sabaton and Sabaton History! - Michael Ulvsax Roslund!
Loved this!!!! We need way more historical perspectives like these shared. Poland has a long history of protecting Europe from foes both from the East and West. Also, solid Christian defense history. Grew up with many Poles. Love Polish history and people.
I know it's not as cool as an arch bishop, but when they played in GR, Michigan they got awards from the governor of Michigan for keeping alive the history of the great war
I realy hope, that Sabaton will write song about Westerplatte. Polish Military and Custom Repository, maned by company of 120 soldiers and officers. They deffended in tho lines of deffance, first with trenches and pilboxes and second made of 5 reinforced bunkers-guardhouses, behind them was the main building of barracks with commandpoint in it. They deffended the lines for 7 dayes and nights, even from strongpoints destroyed by Stuka bombers and under fire of battleship. The Repository was designed to hold up to 12 hours, but it did for a whole week. Every day Polish Radio in Warsaw sended a message to the whole nation and the world: "Westerplatte still holds! Commander in Chief salutes brave deffenders!" After most of ammunition was spent and no meds lesf, commanders: Mjr Sucharski - overal commander (during battle struk by illnes and unable to command for some of the time) and Cpt Dąbrowski - designer of the deffences and battle commander (took over command when needed) decided to surrender. When Mjr Sucharski negotiated capitulation, Ctp Dąbrowski orginized what left of the troops and led them to the meet the germans. It is said, that among those soldiers have been some of the best in the whole riffleman, machinegunners, enginners, mortarers and granade trowers in the whole polish army, some of them prized highest scores in military competitions. Yes, this is another battle, where facts mixes with legends and sometimes facts are unbelivebla. Like mortar barrage accurate since first salvo with no actual training on Westerplatte, or a soldier digginng up gun ports of a bunker, covered by sand from bombs and battleship fire, during infantry attack, or soldiers holding ruins of a bunker while lying next to corpses of their comrades smashed by rubble.
I love the scene of 700K Poles singing Hymn Polski back at the band after this song. Great presentation and collaboration! I want to take my VIS 35 out shooting now 😀.
This was actually one of the few Sabaton songs i didnt know the story behind. Its a brilliant story really does justice to the bravery of the polish army. Also the uniforms and set is sooo cool Astrid did a great job with it.
Nie ma słów, które by oddały wdzięczność jedynemu w swoim rodzaju Zespołowi Sabaton za pamięć o tych wszystkich tragicznych momentach, które zgotowały całemu światu obie wojny światowe. Nigdy więcej! Pozdrawiam Was serdecznie. Powodzenia!

@@SabatonHistory I had similar expectations and i thought that it will be cringy. But after seeing this i am super happy how it went and exited for new videos.
Congratulations! This was so good and this channel will be one of my favorites, of course (metal music + history is the perfect combination!). As a brazilian, I can't wait for the "Smoking Snakes" video! 40:1 is one of the best songs from Sabaton, and the whole history of Poland is so great! Greetings from Brazil!
I wish they could do a song for either the battle of Puebla in Mexico or for the mexican 201st esquadron that fought with the Americans during the battle of the Philippines in ww2
Super Ruski, as much as the last dying breath feels like the attack of the dead men, it's not. It's about these bunch of Serbs who are at this tower lookin area, grossly outnumbered fighting tooth and nail to survive.
My mom is confused why am I always talking about history and listening to Rock. It's very worth it listening to you I learned a lot and I love rock now.
One other thing to note about the Polish defense against the Third Reich: It did not end when Poland fell. Hundreds of pilots went with that retreat to Bucharest, and they eventually found their way around to France and Britain. 145 Polish pilots served in the RAF during the Battle of Britain, and by the end of the war, 19400 airmen served in the Polish Air Force operating out of Britain alongside the RAF. That's a substantial chunk of the total British air power. And then the war ended and everyone got sent back home to the other side of the Iron Curtain. That's the bad part of the story.

When it comes to Polish eastern border, it is much more complicated than that, Symon Petlura gave Western Ukraine or Galicia to Poland in exchange for help against Soviet Russia (the Kiev offensive).After Ukrainians gained back Kiev, they failed to construct any state or army structures that would help prevent Russia from taking Kiev back, they put little over 24 000 troops, while Poland in 1920 put almost 750 000. Most of major cities in eastern Poland, like Lviv, Grodno, Vilnius were in majority Polish, while the countryside was mostly Ukrainian and Belorussian, that created a situation where creating a ethnic borders was basically impossible, one village was Polish, next one was Ukrainian. To avoid instability, Poland resigned from taking any major cities without significant Polish population like Minsk.
Third, Yes, Soviet Russia did stab Poland in the back, because it attacked Poland without a declaration of war, breaking non aggression pact, Treaty of Riga and many other international treaties.
I would call Russian historical revisionism "hypocrisy"
PS. Why do all Russians who I meet on the internet are insulting everyone they disagree with. Cant You guys have a normal conversation?
Ah man my favorite band of all time and my favorite TH-camr colaborating is just ah so amazing.
Your band has sparked my son's interest in both Heavy Metal and history. You guys are amazing. Love from Denver, Colorado in the USA.
Awesome! I hope he likes our videos then! Love from Europe!
I already love history, and the dedication Sabaton has put to their lyrics to make it accurate and the melodies has rekindled the love of rock in my heart.
yay another denver fan
As a first generation Polish American….Thank you guys. You honor us. I will do the same for this one-of-a-kind band and their associates. Naz Drowie!!!
Thank you for supporting us Richter
Im not even polish and the song gives me chills
@Jörmungandr Nice name bro xD
Yeah. It gives me so much Polish pride, even though there's not a drop of Polish blood in my veins. O.o
I wish they did something similar for the French. A very strong song could be made for the Defenders of Normandy.
Finally. Time to enjoy some good history and good music.
In my freshman year in the university a partner and I had to prepare an oral presentation on a historical event. Just imagine their faces when the topic we picked was the battle of Wizna and our musical accompaniment was 40:1 lol
@Nikolado - visualizing that puts a big smile on my face!
@@shawngilliland243 haahaha it was one hell of an experience
Big cred to Poland, your proved yourselves in Vienna and alot of battles, and now this also. Respect from Greece.
Funny enough how emotional this song now appears to me, much love from a sister country, Croatia🇭🇷
I truly love to get to know more about Wizna. Never before has history learning been so fun and headbanging. I thank Sabaton for letting us know about these obscure battles and make history learning quite fun and metal. Sabaton truly are among the best metal bands to ever come out, and I feel fortunate to have known them since 2008. Greetings from Philippines.
What about Inmate 4859? ^^ Witold Pilecki is a badass

Not a big fan of Sabaton's music, but I respect the ever living shit out of them for their passionate dedication to history and not only including history in their art, but really making it the focal point. We need more artists like this.
I used to be like you. Then i fell in love love with the music as much as the subject matter
Epically matches emotions to events.
History bridged to evocative human experience.
Innovation within storytelling, truly remarkable.
So the meme is true. We learn more about history from Sabaton than we ever did in school \m/
Just think about it. Left all alone, with two powerful military forces attacking from two sides, poor Poland, having only recently regained independence, had to stand at arms again. They fought bravely, until they couldn't fight anymore. One of the soldiers who fought in defence of Poland in September 1939 was lieutenant Franciszek Wacławik, my great great grandfather. Along with many other Polish soldiers, he managed to evacuate to France. He enlisted in the Polish Armed Forces in The West. He fought in the French Campaign and after France fell, he returned in 1944, taking part in Operation Overlord. He was promoted a few times during the war, making it all the way to colonel. The war was won, but my great grand father couldn't return to Poland. The newly installed communist regime considered the soldiers who fought in the name of the fatherland to be "traitors, western spies and enemies of the people". Along with many of his brothers in arms, he couldn't go back home, under the threat of imprisonment or even death. After Stalin's death, Poland declared amnesty for the soldiers who fought in the west and he finally returned. He spent the rest of his life hoping for his country to regain freedom, but passed away too soon to see Poland liberate itself from the communist rule. He was laid to rest in a suit, but his belt had a really peculiar buckle. It came from his field uniform and bore the words "Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna", meaning "God, Honour Fatherland". Rest in peace, Colonel. We will never forget our brave soldiers, our ancestors.
Thanks for sharing your story with us. Putting a name and a face on someone who took part makes it easier to remember the events that unfolded so many years ago. May his memory never be forgotten!
Chwała bohaterom
Now if only Poland didn't prevent the Soviets from protecting Czechoslovakia, all of this shit could have been avoided.
@@comrademcsalty7676 except it would have happened to czechoslovakia and inevitability poland after... you seem to think the soviets and nazi's could be satisfied with what they had but fail to realise it was their downfall and the whole point of their war intentions. Should be a good enough indicator that those evil cunts were going to be evil regardless and poland was always in both cross hairs.
Seeing as how we live in a world where both lost their power, it could easily be argued that in the end it was a much better result than giving one or the other power which hypothetically could have aided their cause, keeping them alive today. Think before you speak.

I remember the 2008 when the song came to Poland ;) That was a great moment. You know. Poland this time was free for 16 years. Nobody knew about Poland. And then. Foreign band sings about Poland. Extremely good song. Even in Poland many people didn't know about a lot of Polish history acording to the fact that during the times of communist of occpation, it was strongly forbidden to say about that. You guys really helped us to learn more about who We are :) In the very entertaining way. Even my grandmother listens to you. ;) Parents and other as well. Since this time you became my top band :)
Sorry, son, but the really important things you will learn from Grzegorz Braun!
My family comes from the village of Wizna. I recently returned there the first person in my family in 115 years. ♥️ Wizna
Spirit of Spartans, death and glory. Soldiers of Poland, second to none.

Love your channels Indy, you too Pär.

The poles were definitely one of the fiercest fighting forces of the second world war, even if they were outnumbered, outgunned, and didn't even have the proper supplies to defend against an invasion. Yet they stood, they chose to fight to the end and held the wehrmacht for 3 days. It's truly ashame that such a country was tainted by the lies that we bestowed upon them, as an american every polish citizen has my deepest respect. Especially to those who serve(d), I'm am glad you were on our side

Oh my god, I had no idea it was the allies that created that false narrative. Always assumed it was German propaganda. Thank to people like Indy and Sabaton for educating about how heroic the Polish really were!!
I have so much respect for the Polish people, they are a people and a nation that larger, more agressive and repressive nations and empires has again and again tried to snuff out, trample and eradicate, at best these powers have earned a short reprieve as Poland and its people cannot be held down, like a phoenix they raise again and again! Glory to Poland and much respect from Sweden!
As a Pole let me say THANK YOU!
When you learn more in a 16 min vídeo then actual history school classes. Thank you all for making this god sent channel.
As a man of Polish descent, this song and Uprising never miss to bring a tear to my eyes. Thanks.
And even without that, you are just bloody talented, so... well keep rocking!

Rewatching this to show a friend, and I don't think any other band has ever evoked such respect and admiration and crying from me. I adore you guys.
Thanks! That means a lot
This is so awesome!! Really love to here the stories behind the songs.. And about the Polish, they even helped liberating The Netherlands after what they have been trough. So thank you Polish soldiers, so much respect for you!
In my high school history class, even our damned textbooks perpetuated the lie about "the last of the Hussars" charging tanks they thought to be make of cardboard. It is DISGUSTING the disservice heaped upon Eastern Europe in World War 2 in the United States. I'm of Polish decent and even I didn't know the truth until I came of age and found out for myself! Thank you, Sabaton, for what you do!

@@HALberdier17 thank you
@@elcoyotedesanluis9931 thank you
I realy hope, that Sabaton will write song about Westerplatte.
Polish Military and Custom Repository, maned by company of 120 soldiers and officers. They deffended in tho lines of deffance, first with trenches and pilboxes and second made of 5 reinforced bunkers-guardhouses, behind them was the main building of barracks with commandpoint in it. They deffended the lines for 7 dayes and nights, even from strongpoints destroyed by Stuka bombers and under fire of battleship.
The Repository was designed to hold up to 12 hours, but it did for a whole week. Every day Polish Radio in Warsaw sended a message to the whole nation and the world: "Westerplatte still holds! Commander in Chief salutes brave deffenders!"
After most of ammunition was spent and no meds lesf, commanders:
Mjr Sucharski - overal commander (during battle struk by illnes and unable to command for some of the time)
and Cpt Dąbrowski - designer of the deffences and battle commander (took over command when needed)
decided to surrender.
When Mjr Sucharski negotiated capitulation, Ctp Dąbrowski orginized what left of the troops and led them to the meet the germans. It is said, that among those soldiers have been some of the best in the whole riffleman, machinegunners, enginners, mortarers and granade trowers in the whole polish army, some of them prized highest scores in military competitions.
Yes, this is another battle, where facts mixes with legends and sometimes facts are unbelivebla. Like mortar barrage accurate since first salvo with no actual training on Westerplatte, or a soldier digginng up gun ports of a bunker, covered by sand from bombs and battleship fire, during infantry attack, or soldiers holding ruins of a bunker while lying next to corpses of their comrades smashed by rubble.
I love the scene of 700K Poles singing Hymn Polski back at the band after this song. Great presentation and collaboration! I want to take my VIS 35 out shooting now 😀.
I'm American, and that still gives me goosebumps.
Hey, Mike, seeing ya around again.
Perhaps the most surprising and greatest collab in history?
This is my fav Sabaton song and I am German :) ... great tempo, chorus, lyrics

This was actually one of the few Sabaton songs i didnt know the story behind. Its a brilliant story really does justice to the bravery of the polish army. Also the uniforms and set is sooo cool Astrid did a great job with it.

This way of looking at war helps me to not instantly crying but in a way caring about the soldiers and people who died
One other thing to note about the Polish defense against the Third Reich: It did not end when Poland fell. Hundreds of pilots went with that retreat to Bucharest, and they eventually found their way around to France and Britain. 145 Polish pilots served in the RAF during the Battle of Britain, and by the end of the war, 19400 airmen served in the Polish Air Force operating out of Britain alongside the RAF. That's a substantial chunk of the total British air power.
And then the war ended and everyone got sent back home to the other side of the Iron Curtain. That's the bad part of the story.
