A testament to our British shipbuilding prowess, and the braver of the Polish sailors.
Well said
Fun Fact: The commander of ORP Błyskawica, capt. Francki kept the destroyer armed in the docks which was against naval regulations. He was even officially denied his request to keep the vessel armed. He disobayed the regulations, good for the ship (which probably would be sank otherwise) and even better for Cowes.
my father served on the Burza than the Błyskawica. (engine room ) proud of my father and his ship...god bless both.
Amazing ship, sad that the Polish sailors instead of being treated like heroes were imprisoned and killed.
Or forced to live their lives in exile.
some of the most decorated soldiers were polish !!!!!
While blame that stupid Stalin
I hate ZSRR. PRL was the worst time of my country. Pole
The most inspiring thing is how well they keep her. They talk about the cleanliness when she was in service but even now she looks in excellent condition. It's sad to think of how the USS Texas is rusting away...If there were ever a serious attempt to crowdfund Texas' drydocking I'd invest.
Matthew Blom Texas is also well over 100 years old
It's also a freaking Battleship. Way more things than a Destroyer.
In Poland we strongly respect our history That is why Blyskawica is like a new ship. I have seen her - clean, not a smallest spot of rust, everything is in the best condition.
Matthew Blom. that's due to state government of Texas being cheap, gotta pay for those churches and republican rallies, if they wanted the hearts of the people restoring and keeping the ship up for state pride would be more effective. but hey ego is a big issue there and republican god wills it trump fuck yeah shit
Oh get lost you liberal troll. At least we are responsible with our money unlike debt ridden Illinois.
I could watch WG CG clips all day.
I wonder if we will see Blyskawica in the Dunkirk movie and too bad we cant use her in Operation Dynamo.
Poland got screwed HARD in WW 2 first the German invasion running around being Nazis then after the Polish fighters were run into the ground Stalin shows up. Lost sovereignty for decades to Soviet Union, but kept fighting and helped put a end to Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe. A lot to be proud of
Yeah well, we are the most stubborn people in the world. For good, and for bad.
Now if Putin would only give -Kaliningrad- Königsberg to Poland...
Putin may give you the one in Sweden if you ask nice
AltearexGamingYT Implying Königsberg wasn't German.
I am well aware it was German at one point in time. However, that land was controlled by Poland before Prussia was even formed. Additionally, the German government of today would never accept land because it "has German-speaking people" as that is exactly what Hitler did to gain land initially.
Nice video. Respect to Poland from USA. 🇺🇸❤🇵🇱
7:37 deputy director Trawicki says that Polish teritory was partially ocupied by Germans and partially taken by Russians, but Wargaming lector skips that part...lol
could you not make me cry ev3ry time I watch Naval Legends?
I learn more from wg videos than from history channel. good job wg.
I am very honored and grateful of my Polish ancestry. This is an amazing ship with an amazing history.
Wow, great mini-documentary guys, I really enjoy these! And I would LOVE to see her, with her current commander, in a Supercontainer. Just sayin'. :)
This is one beautiful Destroyer
I had no idea she was still around! I want this ship! It would look really nice to have in my port!
Your Port?
This ship is, and will be in Gdynia
Yeah you know how you get your own port to keep ships you unlock in game. It’s not an actual port lol
All hail WWII Blyskawica! Great ship, great crew!
Błyskawica is indeed a True Hero.
Awesome ship IRL. Awesome ship in-game. Love this ship
Huh. I'm considering purchasing this
Fine looking ship.
I love World Of Warships, :D
Fun fact: Błyskawica and HMS Cavalier are the last surviving warships that were built by the J.S. White and Sons shipyard in East Cowes in the Isle of Wight.
interesting fact: Blyskawica means Lightning in Polish. and it replaced HMS Lightning after it was sunk.
Well Błyskawica it mean Lightnig Grom " thet one whose was search and destroy mission on Bismark
Good thing no one will see this but I'm bad at botes
HMCS Haida please
Yet in game this ship's AA doesn't do anything versus planes.
Her 7 120mm main guns were replaced by 8 102mm DP guns in a 1941 refit, and her 13.2mm guns were replaced by 4 20mm Oerlikons.
WOWs only shows her in her 1937 hull, not he 1941 hull. Some people have suggested to include it as an option, which would essentially make her a tier VII Akizuki.
Matthew Lum I think people like the 7 120mms more
I don't have much of an issue with them either, except for the huge OCD trip turret A gives me.
The 102mm guns would make her much more competent against other DDs, given their better traverse rate and much higher ROF. In addition with her high speed and excellent durability, it would make Blys one of the best DD killers at its tier. It would be lacking against BBs unless you pick the right captain specs, however, and range would likely suffer as I'm quite sure the 120mm guns had a larger caliber barrel than the 102mm guns. So it would be a matter of what role you want to play.
ORP Błyskawica (Bohater)
When Naval Legends in Wargaming Europe with polish subtitles?
That is one weird sounding trumpet...
God bless Poland
Well... as always DDs come out on top Their built for the Kill :3
She was truly a badass. Took way more punishment in her war service than many cruisers, and managed to stay afloat and answer back.
Oh hey look it's me :)
you have to do Averof battle ship in Greece it is a museum now
do you can put subs in spanish(Mexico) pls?
Does somebody knows titles or artists of music used at 2:50 and 9:17 ?
They are used frequently in these clips, but I never managed to find this out. :(
Szkoda, że zabrakło tu pełnego tłumaczenia tego co było powiedziane przez osoby udzielające wywiadu chociażby na temat agresji sowieckiej Rosji na Polskę i ważnych epizodów z przebiegu służby okrętu to raz, a dwa że okręt został odznaczony najwyższym polskim odznaczeniem wojskowym "Virtuti Militari", swoją drogą najstarszym na świecie odznaczeniem wojskowym przyznawanym do tej pory. Poza tym wszystko fajnie, ale jak zwykle pozostaje niesmak po tym co się słyszy w oryginale a tym co jest przetłumaczone i przeinaczone w wersji końcowej. Szkoda bo skoro okręt doczekał się specjalnego odcina jako "legenda" to powinno się to zrobić należycie, a nie omijać "niewygodne fakty historyczne" dla spadkobierców sowieckiej Rosji. Bo taki sposób przedstawiania historii jest po prostu żenujący.
So would you say this is the USS Missouri of the polish or the USS Texas?
It was older the the war and turned into one of the first museums for the Polish (like Texas for Americans) but it served long past the war like Missouri.
Vote now witch you think
"The "4th" is strong with this one......."
Could you do a something like say..... Old Ironsides?
what about canadian destroyer which was built in uk for the next naval legends
KidsFilms Melbourne when someone attacks Canada they attack America and then they regret it
any reason why the in game version is missing a gun on her A turret? doesn't make scene to me...
Because in-game Blyskawica is before modernization. In game it has 120mm swedish guns, after 1st modernization 102 mm british guns and after 2nd 100mm russian guns
PS. After 1st modernization they add one gun to A turret
Blysk entered service in 1937 with 3×2 and 1×1 120mm Bofors guns, in 1941 the Brits upgraded her to 4×2 102mm QF Royal Ordinance guns. Can't find anything on whether or not the Russians modified her 102s after the war or not.
Nice Blyat ship
Actually, Poland was attacked by both Germans and Russian however not simultaneously
the span is 16 days and you call it "not simultaneously"? German attack: 1st of September 1939, Soviet attack 17th of September 1939.
where the hell of naval legends for BIsmarck ???
+World of Warships North America How about a premium USS Houston? It could be a Cleveland with significantly increased HP and AA at tier 7
Ben Hamilton yeah, watch it go down with Perth
how about the błyskawica finding the bismarck?
It was Piorun!
@@danielsokoowski8013 no it was błyskawica
@@m_m_m_l_k6698 no
@@kv-2232 what no?
Polska!
If only they can predict the future
2:18
the guns look different then in wows, and all the guns on the real version is 2 barreled! our blyskawica have a 1 barrel gun instead on front
The in game version is before they changed the guns
naval legend musashi pls T_T
"You have not proved yourself in this battle"
In fairness, that could be extended to the Yamato just as easily, or the Tirpitz for that matter, though the Yamato and Musashi never really did much to act as a fleet in being great enough to preoccupy an entire nation like Tirpitz did.
no... i just want to see beautiful battleship in CG ....
wtf is with the fake trumpet at the start? the dude isn't even playing it...
hello im from poland
Porque no lo traducen a español?
That guy isn't even playing the trumpet
Fake trumpet player at the start.... why??
Why are they now listing mine and asw equipment
They typically did in the past for destroyers. I think the PLAN destroyers had it as well.
oh, ok
That horn playing was faker than Top Gear
That dude was totally playing an EDM trumpet.
UltimateMcNasty
As someone who plays the trumpet, I was listening to that part thinking "What the heck is that horrific sound."
Poor little guy... look at what you have become...
He don't translate about Russian army acupat with German Poland
BLYATSUKAWIKA
ahh right, that's how its pronounced ...
This is bullshit man. My Blyskawica has only 7 guns :(
Most p2w ship
This isn't Belfast.
after patch in march 2017
First? I don't care actually.
How the hell is this a naval legend?
A ship from POLAND?
Now what lets do a naval legend from argentina?
Ffs do some actual naval legends like littorio or some german ships.
dariomasi9 fuck you it's a ship from ww2, that's enough to call it a naval legend!
Then i mean, dunquerke is a naval legend beacose shes from ww2?
Even tho she was scuttled the first day of ww2?
Your argoment isnt even an argoment lol
Also what a naval legend, from a country wich surrended in 1 week, then cowardly left her homeland to fight the germans later on instead of defending her city to the very end
So legendary am i right?
Are you trolling?
She left Poland to preserve her to make contributions later on in the war, making her an important gain for England's fledgling escort force in 1939.
You argue that she did not defend her home town, which is correct, but she did defend her birthplace, shooting down several aircraft and forcing the rest to stay higher. In total, she expended over 10,000 20mm rounds and over 2000 40mm rounds. While the damage sustained was heavy, the town surely would have been destroyed had it not been for the lead curtain and the smokescreen that Blyskawica put up, not to mention the fact that he crew helped to douse the fires started by the incendiaries dropped by the German bombers.
She also lays as a testament to the Allied convoy effort in the Atlantic, escorting 83 convoys and damaging 3 U-boats. She also had a hand in the sinking of two warships
Because he did more to help Britain than to be destroyed by battleships that attacked Poland. Polish ships did not have a chance with the Germans.
dariomasi9 I mean if a ship fought against the enemy, also if she had stayed in Poland she would be destroyed immediately.
And they surrendered because the Germans streamd in dumbass
Blyskawica, born in England, raised in Poland.
Similar to Mikasa. Born in England, raised in Japan
As a Hungarian... I feel like its sort of duty to buy this ship ingame :)
Jako Polak muszę podziękować koledze i wszystkim Węgrom za braterstwo.
We love you guys so very much, it’s hard to wrap up with words. I salute the Hungarian Nation, the British Nation, the American Nation, and the French Nation. To your bravery, your fighting prowess, to your unshaken morality and in the name of our everlasting friendship.
HAIL HYDRA!!
@@bratbrata4974 Ja też jestem Polakiem.
Shut up nazzi bootlicker
I like how the museum director mentions Poland being partitioned between Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, but they totally skip that part. #RussianBiasStronk.
(around 7:40: "...kiedy Polska była już pod okupacją niemiecką, zajęta częściowo przez wojska rosyjskie..." - "...when Poland was already under German ocupation, partially occupied by Russian forces...")
It's nice to see that Polish sailors fighting alongside the Royal Navy are finally getting a little acknowledgment. Their sad situation at the end of the WWII is best summed up by the speech of their commander-in-chief Vice-Admiral Jerzy Swirski, given on the 24th September 1946:
"In the war we were the first to stand at the side of our British Allies and it was with complete confidence that we gave all our moral and material help. We fulfilled our duties faithfully, as allies to the very end. The personnel of the British Navy, who were our trusty comrades and on whom we could always rely in all operations and circumstances, are witnesses to this. But the battles and hardships have not given us the results which we expected from this war. Our Country continues to remain in a political situation which prevents the majority of us from returning to Poland.
We shall shortly cease to be a Navy, however, the knowledge of the complete fulfillment of our duties towards Poland as well as towards our Allies brightens the bitterness of our reality. We are not the debtors, as will be seen when the Allies close their accounts.
Continuing to be united by a strong ideological tie - we, the naval family will continue to live and work for Poland, believing that in the end we shall regain our Country and that the majority of us will offer their services to the navy in a free Poland. At present, we are temporarily living through the end of our naval activity. May the good God take care of us all and may He spare us suffering and disillusion and may He lead us back to a free Poland. Long live Poland!"
Few of them lived long enough to see free Poland.
Salute to you, Poland.
Orcas 101 thank you
Love from Poland ;]
🙂👍🏼
Thx
And remember their Contributions to the War Effort,the Polish Troops that managed to escape to Hungary and Romania would end up fighting with the British,when the Soviets entered Berlin,the Polish were with them,the Tank Division that Duked it out with the Soviets with 14TPs(I think?),would end up on Normandy,in Shermans,the Polish Sailors the Polish Warships(Błyskawica,Burza,Orzeł,and another ship I forgot)that managed to escape to Britain would serve valiantly,the Warsaw Uprising where Warsaw was raised,the Polish Squadron that fought at the Battle of Britain,and so much more
Yes Poland is the best niech żyje Polska
don't forget Poland was also attacked by the soviets, wargaming
They cant say it
Putin would get them shot
XD
stfu hamburger
WG won't mention that. It would make their Russian overlords look like the bad guys. Which they were.
lanefamily0508 Wargaming is a Belarussian company
This has to be my favorite Naval Legends of all time. During the War, these ships were independent Poland and during the attack on her shipyard, she stood firm and defended her independence. There's just something heroically poetic about that whole sequence of events. Just astonishing, amazing!
Alex Smith you can say that this is Poland in nutshell
Alex Smith 1000 times better than Mikhail Kutuzov naval legends, like that thing had no history and I didn't even know it existes
@Alex Smith For more poetry, I advise to study more of Polish history ;)
At long last...I know how to pronounce it's name.
yep same
Ahm, well, not exactly... they mispronounced it. Although it was more to do with accent than anything.
Don't feel bad though, Polish is a b*** of a language even for those who speak it.
(Silent b)wis-Ka - wis- ka
Canadian Explorer well I don’t speak polish at all but I do know that the Ł is pronounced as a W.
Alex Klyce oh yeah your right!
7:35 you forgot to translate part of the sentence where guy speaks about German and SOVIET occupation. You chose to translate into English only part about German occupation. Interesting... :)
Yea...
Interesting
*9:16** Best moment*
HMCS Haida was in the same flotilla as Blyskawica. It would be nice to see a video and a premium ship for sale in WoWs honoring Poland's Canadian comrades in arms... ☺
Wargaming is currently filming a Naval Legends episode for HMCS Haida and it's likely she will be a premium, so don't worry.
RelativeGalaxy7 oh Yeah? How did you learn this?
Got any links to share? I'd love any news you're willing to share ☺
ElectroVeeDub that would be awesome WG! also, great idea m8! give the man a pancake and some maple syrup!
I’m waiting for this ship man! How immensely awesome will it be to finally sail both of them in a team. Those two are meant to be together, at last!
Canadians including Haidas Crew Pronounce Blyskawica's Name as Bottle of Whiskey
Forgot to mention that Poland was also attacked by the Soviet Union forcing Poland to attempt a defense on two fronts, something France did not have to deal with.
Russian torpedos in polish ship... Lol
That's why the jokes are always about the French surrendering and not Poland.
No. You forgot to watch to watch the whole thing before commenting. It is clearly said that at 12:47 that some of the officers were send to Siberia. How could the Soviets send Polish sailors there if they didnt invade?
@@Paciat they know but they don't wanna mention it and acknowledge the fact that they made an alliance with the Germans.
@@SebaX92 Just as Britain dosnt want to mention 20 years of appeasement politics towards Germany. When after WWI Poland wanted to get ethnically mixed rich in coal parts of Silesia, Loyd George said "Giving it to Poles is like giving a gold watch to a monkey". And they created a myth that French want reparations just out of revenge for the previous war.
It's funny when you hear people say one thing while being translated into another :P
It's very surprising that 'polish' government didn't turn her into razor blades, but instead turned her into a museum ship. Very surprising.
meanwhile ingame, the AA is so INEFFECTIVE to shoot down any planes at all
Po raz pierwszy zobaczylem ORP "Blyskawica" kiedy mialem jakies 10 lat, moze mniej. Teraz ogladajac ten material zadaje sobie pytanie jak ten czas szybko przeminal. Ja mam juz 37, siwizna sie pojawia a "Blyskawica" lsni nowoscia w swoich 82 latach historii. I dziekuje panu Boguslawowi Woloszanskiemu i kazdemu, ktory przylaczyl sie do jego apelu o ratowanie "Blyskawicy" wtedy i dzis, azeby ten piekny okret i piekna jego historia pozostala jak najdluzej zywa. Dziekuje Wam!
Can I just say that I absolutely ADORE the fact that you're going to such great lengths to honour the memory of these ships and their sailors? And all of this from a Game Developer? I've learned more about Warships from your channel than I have in the entire rest of my life. Thank you!
Except the moments where they ignore russian participation in the war...or elevate the "Glorious soviet shipbuilding" without mentioning that they couldn´t even make armor plates for their battleship projects
Heartbreaking to hear how Stalin murdered some of these heroes.
Nicely avoided facts that USSR also occupied polish territory.
Be proud Polish navy this was a great learning experience for me. I truly love learning about other naval powers.
finally Metric system
Weird since the British used Imperial at this time.
i meant in the videos
Also strange of you to mention since this is the NA channel and there is an Eu channel that uses metric exclusively. (I know other countries exist in the NA region besides the US but my fellow Americans would've probably thrown a hissy fit if the American ships were done in metric, thus why WG used the Imperial system here until now).
so fuck us rest of "America" right? good job there
I use "America" as a shorthand for the USA, if it bothers you South Americans that much, then why don't you join us and overthrow those evil dictators (That we put in power)?!?
In all seriousness, lighten up, it's a the easiest way for my countrymen to refer to themselves instead of saying: "Citizens of the U.S."
As a brit I am honoured to have supplied a ship to such brilliant sailors.
Fun Fact:ORP Błyskawica was the very same Destroyer that trolled the Bismarck(you know,that Polish Destroyer that signal-lighted
" *I AM A POLE* " at Bismarck while she fired)
:) no Błyskawica but ORP Piorun another Polish destroyer found Bismarck and led the British fleet at him
They were also fighting against the evil forces of Stalin's Communist invasion. 17 September 1939.
yay, metrical system!
D Stevens couse metrical is better
This ship has a very special place to the people in the town nearby - Cowes - after it's defence of the town against a German bombing raid in 1942.
I bought it to honor those who crewed her. She’s a cool ship but stands for a lot more than just decent in game play. She was allowed to have Polish crews, with a Polish captain while fighting the Nazis along side the allies. Pretty awesome if you ask me. I’m Slovenian so I’m not sure that counts lol
The Germans may have taken their country but that only made the polish fight harder. If I was in a fight I would love to have a polish next to me
This thing is quick, seriously quick. Still quick by today’s standards. A proper destroyer.
The German bombers at Cales:
Omfg DD AA OP plz nerf wtf
Blyskawicas perhaps finest hour, when she charged Bismarck sending light (morse) signals "I am Pole". Respect.
Is that trumpet playing a midi file? That thing sounds like a 90's website
Question - Boilers temperature is 200 degrees, Celsius or Fahrenheit?
N4Destruction Celsius
I could make a very nice pizza in there
The polish version of the Last Ship
Fun fact błyskawica means Lighting in polish
