if Witold Pilecki had been of the right nationality, Hollywood would have made a film about him a long time ago, but he was a Pole and a great Polish patriot, unfortunately currently various forces are trying to convince the world that Poles helped in the Holocaust, so the memory of Pilecki is very inconvenient for them. Hollywood made a film about the Bielski brothers ("Defiance" 2008) presenting them as great heroes and in fact they were war criminals, but they just had the appropriate nationality, so they could be made heroes, unfortunately the stories are written by the winner and in fact Poland lost the Second World War .
exactly, the talk of making a movie like this in Hollywood was already underway, but quickly ended. Producers suggested that Pilecki's nationality should be changed in the scenario to the "right" one, but as the Polish side did not agree, the matter was abandoned.
True, true. Then got the role of James Bond. You know who.
ok, my buddy is a close family to descendants of Rotmistrz Pilecki, the lad is kind of 'new leftie' politically, for no reason, so the story he told me is more believable (because he is biased in other direction). Daughter of Pilecki is his auntie, and she told him, she received a call from the 'West Coast USA' movie producer. They told her they want to make a film about her father, and asked for permission, but they have only one requirement - Pilecki's nationality and religion had to be changed for ... the 'righteous one', so she kindly rejected.
@@aakuku760 this is actually real story I heard from Pilecki's close family
@@pmbbmp Star of David rings your bell?
“Why isn’t there a major Hollywood movie about this?” Hollywood would be the last place that would make such a movie.
He should be a Jew so Hollywood will make a movie about him. lol
He was Polish. That's why...
@@ginterka381996 That is actually true story.
Witold Pilecki's descendants were contacted by some Hollywood fat cat, but they declined as screenplay twisted history - made Witold a Jew.
Of course family rejected Hollywood's offer.
Mayby beacose he isnt Jew but Pole. And would not like well.
And who would like Russians after watching how Russian inflence execute Polish Hero ??
After he escaped Auschwitz, he was taken by a member of the local resistance to meet the local resistance leader. By sheer coincidence, the local resistance leader was the man whose name Pilecki had been using as his alias for three years in Auschwitz, Tomasz Serafinski.
Wow
His book is amazing, unbelievable, and horrifying all at the same time and worse because you know his fate in real life after the war.
Some producers wanted to make a move about Pilecki, but his family didnt agree for at least one of the producers conditions. Producers wanted to say in the movie that Pilecki was a jew, family didnt agreed to this.
Calling Pilecki a hero just doesn't feel like it contains the power to describe of just what he did. It was beyond heroism, I don't know if there is a word with enough power to it that can describe him.
rather than a hero it feels more like ''ultimate sacrifice''
@William Woke that would require him to perform a miracle. He could be proclaimed as a martyr though.
@@walsjell in my oponion doing report about what happened in aushwits and getting it to wetsern authoroties was much. Sadly US dod not listen. Poland had many naive romantics, but I belove, he is not one of them
Saint? Or close to...
Probably because the word "hero" has been so watered down and lost it's weight in modern times. Now during the pandemic they're calling nurses heroes when they're just doing their job and getting paid. Admirable if you want to help people for a living, but that's not a hero imo.
He was a Polish cavalry officer. Going balls out with just standard operating procedure for them. These guys were raised on the traditions of the Lipka Tatars of the Golden Horde, the Winged Hussars, the Uhlans, Napoleon's Polish Lancers. Even the Father of the American cavalry was a Pole named Pulaski. What we consider brave was just another Tuesday for these guys.
My ancestors from side of my fathers was Tatars. Lipka is my surname. All best from Poland, Warsaw.
@@michalpanakamanana1048
Then You are Lipka/ Tatar.
Just like me, Sława Przodkom.
@@michalpanakamanana1048 I wonder if you know how come Lipka Tatars tied up themselves with Poland? All the best!
@@marcsaw03 pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatarzy_w_Polsce if you want to know you can try to translate it to english:)
@@michalpanakamanana1048 😀 I know very well how Tatars came to Poland. I was curious if you know it.
Producers from Hollywood appeared in Poland a few years ago with a visit to Pilecki's grandson with a proposal to make a film about Pilecki, but they made one condition, they said that they could make a film about him if it was said that he was a Jew and not a Catholic, Pilecki's grandson he could not agree to such a distortion of history.
Sad
@@TouchyReactions sad but true
Where did you get that information?
@@Malgosia44 it is not a secret in Poland
@@dariuszsob9919 That's not an answer to my question.
Pileckis death highlights that even after the war the countries that "won" were still not free. Poland went from being occupied by Germany to being controlled by Russia instead and since Pilecki was fighting for Polish independent freedom he became an enemy of the new pro-russian communist regime in Poland after the war as well.
not Russia Soviet union. or as yanks would call them a GOD DAMN COMUNISTS!
@@Clonerro better dead than red
@@Clonerro Soviet Union was russia for all intents and purposes. claiming anything else is pure demagoguery.
@@Clonerro you seen the place? It’s still the soviet union, just without hiding the capitalism and corruption
I think you made mistake. Its actually Germany who won this War. On paper t hey lost. For future - they won.
Just to be clear - Pilecki was killed by the soviet controlled regime - NKWD. It was not the Polish court!!!
Another very important info - he was devoted catholic believer. His actions all the times were inspirated by faith.
Good point. Both points actually. Cheers from Wrocław!
no top sie popisałerś :D skazany do więźnia za polityczne sprawy skazany z 2 rozkazów nkwd i polski Pilecki był szpiegiem NKWD złapali go niemcy i był duublleee zero pracował na 2 światy w sumioe na 3 więc bochaterem nie był jednak 2 wyroki śmierci nazwały go nieznanym !
actually and what is sad IT WAS POLISH COURT, controlled by Soviets but polish. From where I know this? Because same court sentencedd my great grandfather to death by starvation.
@@fynchan11 Except, at least according to Żebrowski, a lot of those government officials were imported from the USSR, changed their names, then posed as "Poles" in order to pacify the population.
Which is something that the Communists were absolutely capable of doing. I am not saying that there were no Polish communists (though that, too, depends on your definition of "being Polish" - Lutosławski for example postulated that being Polish is a matter of cultural heritage, and not family roots, and by that definition, being communist automatically contradicts being Polish), but keep in mind that a lot of these top positions were filled by Soviets, pretending to be Polish.
Just to add to this, Pilecki had an opportunity to escape even before his actual escape. He just decided he had more to do inside the camp, so he helped the others with their escape plan (including stealing uniforms and an SS officer's car), then just. Stayed in Auschwitz.
The balls on this man.
I visited Auswitch two years ago. Our guide told us about Witold and what he did. Definitely a hero.
Good reaction and good to get the history behind the song in one video. Well done 👍 and greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you
Alsi interesting fact. When he was in Soviet captivity he spoke with his wife and said "Oświęcim was a child's play." (Compared to this) So yeah... Let that sink in.
Wow
Thank you from Poland for this reaction. He was a real superhero. And this song is one of my personal favourites.
First of all I recommend to check out very similar story of Jan Karski who brought to USA report about genocide of Jewish people in German concentration camps. Jan Karski presented the raport to Franklin Delano Roosevelt who also did not believed him. Or rather chose not to believe Jan. Because if Jan’s report would be considered true then the action would need to be taken. For example bombing railway tracks that were used to transport people to German concentration camps.
The explanation why there is no Hollywood movie or hbo miniseries about Pilecki is rather easy: Pilecki reported the horrors of Auschwitz not only to Polish Home Army but later also to Western Allies (while fighting in Italy) No one wanted to believe him. But now we know it was true. So showing in block buster movie how Auschwitz horror was ignored would put bad light on Western Allies.
Second reason Pilecki was sentenced to death by Polish court which at that time was under Soviet thumb. Poland was given to Stalin in Yalta. This decision was confirmed in Potsdam. Another hideous act by Western Allies.
249k Polish soldiers thought in Western army against Hitler, 144 Polish pilots defended Great Britain against German bombardment, (The polish pilots who defended GB were not allowed to participate in victory parade because at that time GB and USA were great friends with Soviets and uncle Jo Stalin.)
330k Polish soldiers were part of Soviet army that fought against Germans and part of Soviet troops that fist entered Berlin. 390k Polish patriots were part of Polish Home Army which was an underground resistance against Germans and Soviets.
But after 1945 Poland was under total Soviet influence.
Poland regained it’s independence in 1989 (first partially free elections)
For us II world war and occupation finished in 1989
I wander why “so called Allies" never apologized us for betrayal?
Or is it the same as lately with Kurds? You can bleed for us, die for us but when you are no longer needed get lost
In my opinion a false friend or ally is worst then a well know long term enemy whom you are ready to fight “with uncovered visor”
Słuszna uwaga Pani Olgo . Pozdrawiam
I believe there is one more aspect of the matter: Pilecki was Pole and he infiltrated German death camp. Telling this story to the world would "confuse" many westerners who associate this horror with Poles. Thanks to @Touchy Reactions the truth can reach many people.
Z punktu widzenia czysto wojskowego, udawanie że nie widzi się zagłady Polaków, Żydów, Cyganów i innych w obozach było po prostu w interesie Aliantów. Jeśli twój wróg używa ogromnych zasobów logistycznych i materiałowych, by zabijać własną siłę roboczą, to po co mu w tym przeszkadzać? Wiedzieli o tym bo poza Polskimi raportami musieli też dostać raporty własnego wywiadu, Istniały placówki dyplomatyczne krajów neutralnych itd.
I live in Warsaw. The prison in Mokotów is now a museum dedicated to people like Witold Pilecki. Glory to the heroes!!!
One of the many reasons I love Sabaton just stories that I have never heard of
It's the main reason I kept listening, every song was new facts for me. So cool
The good thing about Sabaton is that Sabaton knows it's world history. Also if you want to check out the final solution!
That is unquestionably a positive role that Sabaton plays in spreading knowledge (however fragmentary), but I always feel conflicted about their songs. As a grand-daughter of an Auschwitz prisoner I cannot escape the feeling that the song trivializes the unspeakable.
Wielki człowiek, patriota i bohater. Prawdziwy Polak🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱.
Considering his heroism and dedication, You should know that he made all this, while having a wife (married in 1931), son (Andrzej) and a daughter (Zofia)... I've been honored to meet mrs. Zofia Optułowicz-Pilecka for a few times and must admit that apples don't fall far from the apple tree... amazing person.
Grats for a good reaction videos.
This story is so heartbreaking at the end, how the politicians he fought to free ended up being forced to persecute him for treason because of the Soviet Union. Greetings from Iceland and happy new year.
Thanks
Yea, plenty of similar stories in from Romania also due the communist takeover...
@@metalassassin8841 Same in Czechia... the people who helped to liberate us from the wrong side ended rather badly:/
He actually wrote Witold’s Report on Auschwitz, also known as Pilecki’s Report, anticipating that he might be killed by the new communist government in Poland
@@NetAndyCzEven the Czechoslovak soldiers who fought on the eastern front were often treated badly.
People who fought to free the republic were ironically treated worse than scum collaborating with the nazis - they had to only switch clothes. Communists had no need for heroes.
Bohater całego świata dziękuję, jest Pan światłem w niebie dla Polaków wzorem dał przyszłych pokoleń patriotów polskich. Bóg Honor Ojczyzma
Yes he was a true hero.
Czołem Wielkiej Polsce.
Jak mieszkasz w pobliżu Ślęży to przy 1 schronisku jest obelisk Rotmistrza odsłonięty w 2014.Na odsłonięciu uświetnił mini koncertem pan Andrzej Kołakowski. Pozdro
After the announcement of the death sentence, Pilecki said: „I've been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy, than fear.“
Beautiful
@@TouchyReactions This is a quote from the book "On the Imitation of Christ" by Tomas à Kempis.
Captain Witold Pilecki, imprisoned on Rakowiecka, ordered his wife and children to read: - He encouraged us to read it every day. I inherited it from my mother, but it is very damaged - said Zofia Pilecka-Op Titowicz in the book “My Father. Memories". However, in an interview in the publication about the Field "Ł. Freedom is bulletproof", when asked what the Captain had left for us, she added: - He once told my mother to read for ourselves and to us children every day "On imitating Christ". He even told mom how to read, “You don't have to look for anything. Open it at a page where it is convenient for you. " This little book went around the world. She helped many people. She gave him the strength to die with the visor open - she said.
Pilecki's generation was brought up in the spirit of love for the liberated homeland. The Polish poet of the Romantic era, J. Słowacki, wrote in his poem "My Testament":
"But I implore you: do not let the living lose their heart
And they carry a muzzle of education in front of the nation
And when it is necessary, they go to death one by one,
Like stones thrown on the rampart by God! "
Honor and glory to the heroes, eternal memory of the fallen
👍
To be correct - not muzzle (kaganiec na pysk) but oil lamp (kaganek) :D
I think the role of Pilecki in the Warsaw Uprising is underestimated. He was lucky escaping Auschwitz, however, 200 000 citizens were killed in the uprising (3k a day on avarage). He survived despite being directly involved in combat. And the war did not finish for him in 1945, this was just the beginning of the new war. Heil and glory to the heroes!!!
Thank you for your reaction! The song is beautiful. Witold Pilecki is undeniably a hero.
After the gaining the independance of Poland which returned as a country on the map after 123 years of other countries pressure, the Poles were enthusiastic to build the country. In 1920 the Bolshevic war even strenthened them. There were a lot of great patriots, dedicated people: children, young ones and others all loved the mother country and sacrificed . We know hundreds of stories of them and their great deeds: great ones on the scale of the country and the smaller ones - known only for families.
In the concentration camp Oświęcim/Aushwitz there were many Poles first, like they mentioned - Polish intelligensia, among them in 1941 - the Franciscan, Father Maximilian Maria Kolbe, where he was given camp number 16670. He voluntarily chose death by starvation in exchange for a convicted fellow prisoner Franciszek Gajowniczek (camp number 5659), who was in a group of 10 prisoners sentenced to death for escaping from the camp (block 14A) of one of the prisoners. He's the hero all know in Poland, Witold Pilecki was unknown for a long time due to political reasons.
In 1946 and 47 Witold Pilecki often prayed in the church of St. Savior in Warsaw at the altar of St. An expedite who is a patron of urgent and hopeless matters. Mr. Andrzej Pilecki also emphasized that his father prayed for the conversion of his enemies and did not harbor hatred. "I know that he managed to convert at least one man," these words were the captain's son's commentary on the frequently quoted story of a converted criminal who was in prison on ul. Rakowiecka, he distributed food to other prisoners. Years later, Andrzej Pilecki met this man: “He told me that when he was bringing a meal to the captain, he was immersed in prayer so deeply that he did not even notice it. My father's religious attitude influenced this criminal so strongly that after leaving prison he abandoned his current way of life, became a believer and decided to help others ”
According to Pilecki's children some Hollywood's movie makers already approached them and wanted to make movie about Pilecki. However, movie makers planned that in the movie, Pilecki would be a Jew, not Pole. Pilecki's family obviously didn't agree to such thing.
You are dead on with your interpretation.
Witold Pilecki volunteered for a mission into Auschwitz, essentially going in alone with no help, he in secret documented the crimes of the Nazis and did escape with a few others, informing the Polish government in Exile, in Britain of what the germans were doing, afterwards he joined in the warsaw uprising, after the Soviets installed a puppet regime in Poland(The official government never returned to Poland after the war, as they rightly held the assumption all of them would be executed by the soviets), and the new puppet regime found him guilty of treason against the Polish communist government(which was originally established in the USSR during the war).
It's a tale that sadly isn't uncommon with the propped up regimes the soviets backed after WWII, as there was another man who fled to Britain, from Czechoslovakia, Karel Janoušek, he became the air marshal of Czech air forces operating under the RAF, though he didn't meet the same fate as Captain Pilecki.
Another ”darkest side of humanity” song, but with a spark of heroism overcoming brutality. Like on Price of a Mile, Sabaton isn't always fun/uplifting/entertaining. But we can't afford to ignore the darkness in favor of fun. That all men were so willing to lay down their lives in the name of freedom.
I think if Witold Pilecki was American ..then We'd have a great movie from Hollywood about him.
Czesc i chwała Pileckiemu💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks ever so much for reacting to this important story..
Also, your way of doing it is so great and I'm thankful that I stumbled upon your channel.
I love the marching beat in this, but Joakims voice is so haunting and sad, so one cramps up inside. A man with a mission that wanted to reveal the horrors, willingly exposing himself to hell to be able to tell the truth to the world. And the thanks he got???
Thank you too!
Pilecki was a polish soldier who go to auschwietz because he wanted to tell the world about what germany doing there
A true hero
12:18 Not only polish or german cryminals were kapos. They were often Jews. Even in the photo in this video, there is a kapo who is Jewish because on his coat he has a hexagram with the word "Jude", which is a Jew in German.
Yeah they missed this. Actually it was almost always them.
He was arrested after the war by the polish Ministry of Public Security and he described what he suffered in Auschwitz as playground in comparison what was done to him in communist prison.
Disgusting
Just because it's not a well-known story or a often-played song, you should do Sabaton's song Smoking Snakes. Most people don't know that Brazil even participated in the ETO.
A chilling story about a very brave man.
"kapo" were mostly jewish prisoners actually... also Police in ghetto such as warsaw ghetto also was made of jewish
In fact i heard rumors that there was plan to make movie about Pilecki. But family did not want it. Script omitted one crucial to this man trait. He was devoted catholic and Hollywood does not like that.
Był plan pod warunkiem,że rodzina wyrazi zgodę na zmianę narodowości polskiej rotmistrza na żydowska.Bezczelnosc pejsatych nie zna granic.
Witold Pilecki this is amazing story great to hear that you are trying to popularize it
Just gonna put this out there: I don't really think (or hope, for that matter) that anyone got the "4859" tattoo. Because, well, if I remember correctly, the nazis would tattoo the numbers of the inmates on their forearms to keep track of them and to see who's who.
So getting the tattoo could be seen to equal as you saying "I am getting a tattoo people got in Auschwitz", which I don't think a lot of people would be proud of having tattoo'd on them.
I get that. I just thought that that number would be a sign of pride in the Polish community.
for a thousand days he leads a conspiration in hell, takes notes describing the evil and runs with the report.
That is why i love Sabaton, 100% Respect guys , thank you forever!
Stories like this make me respect Finnish war veterans even more, without them Finland would've ended up like the rest of Eastern Europe after world war two.
Agree. But we should also keep in mind that countries like Poland and other Eastern European countries didn't have much choice. Finland seemed to have all the stars aligned even if they had to sacrifice a whole generation. Too bad Russia wants to keep the Cold War alive, nothing good will come of it.

Mostly of " Kapo" was Jews not Polish like he said in video
Nice to meet a fellow SABATON ! Bought 2 of their albums today, The Art of War, and Carolus Rex (Swedish version).
Can’t believe this just goes over so many people’s heads. It’s such an amazing story of heroism and guts.
Another story I was surprised I hadn’t heard about before hearing sabaton’s song is ”We burn”. Almost like a mini-holocaust.
We burn is during the genocides in the Yugoslavian civil war IIRC.
Robert Decker yeah, weird that they fidn’t mention that in history class
This is how Poland was destroyed. Not only by the war but also by the Stalin's regime that came afterwards. We are unable to give enough credit for our fallen heroes. Noone want to listen us. People of other nations doing far better job at telling our, at times beond horryfying history.
Noone will make a film out of this story. People, just like at war, would not belive it happend!
Cieszę się, że tacy ludzie jak TY odpowiadają na YT w języku angielskim. Ja niestety nie znam angielskiego. Życzę powodzenia.
A very interesting reaction. One of the best on YT. Greetings from Poland.
You rock man! Another great one!
Your reaction videos mean a lot. All from 82nd all the way to the Price of a Mile. None more important than the other.
Thanks
All Aushvitz prisoners were tattooed that way. There was to many people in there to learn their names. Besides, they were eventually exterminated, so why bother. Pilecki was a patriot and a man of great integrity, a hero.
Imagine this a guy that volunteered to go to hell on earth
I have heard that people from hollywood visited son of Witold Pilecki. They asked him if he agree to use his fathers name but with one condition -in this film Witold Pilecki will be a Jew. A son refused.
7:59 that last Joakim was a great scandinavian pronunciation (if said with a more normal tone ofc)😄
HERO
Thank you.Poland.
Agreed
dziękuję
The Balls to intentionally get captured into the unknown.
the correct pronunciation of his name would sound like "Vee-told Pee-let-skee"
Too late now...but thanks for the help

Thanks

Another tough one to listen to is final solution
Since most of all soldiers don’t actually want to kill there are so many stories about this type of heroism
this song is giving great vibes
Thank you for listining to this song of a untold hero.
this man is a real hero
Auschwitz prison tattoos are not really appreciated as a sign of respect in Poland - at least that's my observation. Especially among veterans and people who went through that madness and understand the original meaning of that tattoo. You don't want to show respect to a person by doing voluntarily things that have been done to that person by force, it's some kind of contradiction. In this case this tattoo is a reminder of the true meaning of the number, it's dehumanizing role and horrible past locked within.
So many heroes from just one forgotten country..."Bijcie się twardo, ale po rycersku"
Thank You for that beautiful video! People need to know the truth.
As a Pole I'm really sad there's propaganda going on in the world saying that Poland is responsible for starting a war and for concentration camps. I don't really know why, but someone wants to rewrite history. Poland has always been a target and an unneeded country for germans, russians even jews. It has always been like that and sadly still is. My ancestors, Poles, saved countless lives during the war, knowing that their whole families could have been killed if germans would find out. To this day my country is under disgusting and arrogant propaganda attack from a nation that started a war and a nation that we've tried to save. There's whole different story about ukrainians but I'm not going to get into that now. It sounds ridiculous but it's true.
Thank You once again for spreading knowledge about Polish heroes! Cześć i chwała bohaterom!
Poland - like any other country - has it bright sides and its dark sides. To suggest otherwise is dishonest. We have had our share of heroism and our share of shame. No nation is made solely of heroes and Poles are not a nation of Pileckis.
you don't know who wants $ from Poland? do you live under a rock??
@@sebastianrutkowski7316 447
If you want another really deep story from Sabaton, No Bullets Fly is a very emotional one when you dive into the story of the song.
I have done it already. Some say it's my best reaction video. You can find it on my channel.
Część i chwała bohaterom spoczywaj w spokoju rotmistrzu pamiętamy
You are doing great job. Thank you very much. I`m a Pole, a historian and I`m realu appriciate that what are doing. Pilecki was a real hero, but there was no happy ending. The sades part of his story was that he was sentenced to death by redPoles...
Thank you so much Man. Show to the people the Real history of Poland. One more thank you
Thanks for a great reaction!!
After you started to reaction to the history episodes I've started to check them out and this story....... Mindblowing!!
I would really appreciate if you could react to "Far from the fame" from the same album as this song (Heroes)!
What we can often see in mainstream is how Allies bravely fought Axis. How many action movies or games show heroic battles that historically took place. Issue with them is that somebody forgets to mention how huge impact Poland had in the war. Mostly not even single polish surname is mentioned, no polish army - just allies ( either US,Canada or GB ). To see a person that is definitely Pole (especially as an trustworthy ally) is like a miracle. What's more sad is how far can some lies go,trying to convince the world that Poland is meaningless good-4-nothing country.
Few ywars ago some guys from Hollywood comed to Poland and wanted to make movie about Pilecki... problem is that they wanted Pilscki to show as a Jew (he was Polish patriot and christian), family didnt agree ... thats why there is no Hollywood version. If i know today 2 movies about Pilecki are comming.
I call bullshit on your story bro, absolute bullshit.
@@piotrcieplucha4405 i call it your ignrance bro. Here is part of arcicle in tvp, but there are more sources, unfrotunately in Polish, there is great affort to change Pilecki to Jew. In many oficial sources Pilecki is Jew, Poliosh ambassy or historian have to protest:
"
-Biografia Pileckiego to właściwie gotowy scenariusz na film. Dlaczego, pana zdaniem, amerykańscy filmowcy z Hollywood nie nakręcili takiego filmu? Dlaczego woleli zobrazować opowieść pt. „Opór” o zmyślonych bohaterskich wyczynach żydowskiego oddziału partyzanckiego Tewjego Bielskiego?
-Rzeczywiście, film, o którym pan mówim był wyjątkowo tendencyjny i fałszywy. Jednak pamiętam, że dwa-trzy lata temu w muzeum pojawił się przedstawiciel Hollywoodu, który chciał nakręcić film o Pileckim. Już mieli napisany scenariusz, przetłumaczony na język polski. Koniecznie chcieli, żebym ja to opiniował i pozytywnie się wypowiedział. Przeczytałem ten scenariusz i włosy stanęły mi dęba. Były tam różne przedziwne, sensacyjne i fikcyjne wątki. Na przykład według tego scenariusza Pilecki miał kontakty z Gestapo, przychodził do willi gestapowców i sobie z nim rozmawiał. Pojawiało się tam wiele tego typu bredni. Jeśli miałby taki film powstać, to lepiej niech nie powstaje. I tak też się stało. No, po prostu to były głupoty.
-Pytaliście filmowców z Hollywood, dlaczego chcieli w taki sposób ubarwiać życiorys rotmistrza?
Nie, widocznie ten prawdziwy wydawał im się za mało atrakcyjny. Zresztą, jeśli chodzi o rozpowszechnianie biografii Pileckiego, możliwe, że odgrywała tu rolę jeszcze inna delikatna kwestia. Na okładce książki Garlińkiego, o której wcześniej wspominałem, przetłumaczonej na angielski i francuski, jest informacja, że Pilecki był pochodzenia żydowskiego. To nieprawda, nie był. Akurat tak się złożyło, że nie miał żadnych korzeni żydowskich, ale gdyby je miał, to możliwe, że filmowcy z Hollywoodu zainteresowaliby się nim bardziej. Sam Garliński mówił, że gdy jeździł do Stanów i tamtejsi Żydzi widzieli na jego ramieniu numer więzienny, to mówili, że musi być Żydem. Gdy zaprzeczał i dodawał, że jest Polakiem, dziwili się, bo, ich zdaniem, Polaków w Auschwitz w ogóle nie było. Takie jest wyobrażenie na Zachodzie. A przecież to był obóz założony dla polskiej inteligencji. Po Żydach Polaków zginęło tu najwięcej. "
@@blurrpp314 TVP is your source? That explains everything.
@@piotrcieplucha4405 there are more use google :), any way interview is witch dr. Adam Cyra staff member of the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum, who spand life studying Pilecki and Aushwitz. He i s expert in this topic and is involved inmany projects one of it was Hollywood movie about Pilecki.
@@blurrpp314 You are absolutely wright.
Fun Fact: The scenes of sabaton playing the song in this video was actually from "to hell and back"
Nikomu nie jest na rękę żeby polacy byli bohaterami
Bohaterami mają być Amerykanie, Anglicy Rosjanie .... Kolejność nieprzypadkowa ....
Many words were said about Witold, and it is not my intention to repeat them again. I just wanted to emphasize that finally he survived WWII, but was killed by polish collaborators serving soviet occupant. In 2009 there was initiative in the European Union Parliament to make Witold Pilecki a patron of the victims of totalitarianism. Unfortunately this idea collapsed. It is very sad that 22 polish UE parliamentarians voted against it.
Despicable how he died. So sad.
humans aren't monster's they are still human and that's the most terrifying thing about it
23:15 If Anna was a Warsaw insurgent she could not have been in auschwitz. After the fall of the Warsaw Uprising (01.08.1944 - 03.10.1944) she was placed in a prisoner of war camp, not in an auschwitz death camp. All the Warsaw insurgents who survived the Warsaw Uprising and were taken prisoner were placed in POW camps.
Do Aces in Exile next. It's less depressing and more uplifting.
Rest in peace Witold.
Thanks, It's on the list.
@@TouchyReactions and it is also about polish soldiers:
"Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land
Let their story be heard, tell of 303rd
Fighter pilots from Poland in the battle of Britain
Guarding the skies of the isle"
🇵🇱🛩🇨🇿🛩🇨🇦
This man makes me being proud that I'm Polish.
As you should be.
@@TouchyReactions Well, I am. Unfortunatly our current govenrement is doing everything to make us stop being proud of our homeland. They are making war criminals heros, and heros are made traitors.
@@Miron_Marnic What.....
@@ginterka381996 Yes, it's the sad reality.
@@Miron_Marnic Kto jest według ciebie zbrodniarzem a kto bohaterem? UB bohaterami? żołnierze wyklęci zbrodniarzami? zastanów się co piszesz ,i nie pluj na takich jak Pilecki bo tacy są uważani za bohaterów w Polsce ,rówmież przez rząd!
Great channel, really great
Thank you very much!
Thank You ❤Witold Pilecki my HERO❤
recently, my favorite sabaton song has become "blood of Bannockburn" scottish revolution + bagpipes + sabaton. a great mix
He was a Pole and a PATRIOT, who showed the functioning of the German Concantry Camp in Oswiacim, where Polish citizens of various denominations were murdered and mass genocide against humanity throughout Europe was launched. So far, Germany has not paid POLAND war reparations and now dictates the entire European Union its policy and a new energy deal with RUSSIA. Liventrop-Molotov Pact between Germany and Russia at the expense of the attack on Poland. Poland which chose Europe from the invasion of the Turks near Vienna, Poland with Marshal Jozef Pilsudski and the defense of Europe against the October Revolution and Comonism. It is POLAND that has to fight for its freedom again in the arena of the EU and the CJEU. Having the second oldest piece of legislation in the world after the US Constitution about our rights that are now being trampled on again in the socially corrupt institutions of the EU and the European Commission.
True hero
well if Poland allowed USSR to cross borders and attack Germany, things would have gone differently
@@JohnMicius Co za bzdury ! What bullshit!
@@JohnMicius USSR was in alliance with the Reich until Hitler decided it wasn't convenient any more.
@@TheFifthHorseman_ The Soviets entered a non-aggression pact with secret protocols only after most of Europe already had made agreements with Nazi Germany, previous to that, they desperately tried to get coalitions in place to contain Germany, understanding they were ultimately their intended target.
that number is a brand, given to inmates there everyone had a different numbers seared into their skin
This man's story, to me, reads like a real life Greek tragedy. All he wanted was a independent, safe Poland for his countrymen. He struggled mightily to achieve that goal only to be denied all the way up to his death. I have a book called the volunteer about him. I have been curious about the psychology behind such a man. Most cannot even see themselves near a concentration camp. Much less voluntary as a prisoner. What the mindset had to be.
this band is amazing
Hollywood wanted make movie about Pilcecki, but they wanted make him a jew....Family of Pilcecki say "NO".
You should react to Ghost in the Trenches. It’s about the deadliest sniper of WW1.
Added to the list
@@TouchyReactions That is amazing song and story, and to add to the sniper topic you Should add the White death to list, about deadliest sniper of all time.
@@TouchyReactions White Death is another about a finnish sniper who scared the pants off the russians in the winter war.
Tylko Polak mógł by coś takiego zrobić Pozdrawiam Polski
Też pozdrawiam z Polski
Pilecki's family received an offer to make a film about Witold. But there was one little problem. The producers wanted to make a Jew from Pilecki. The family disagreed. Thank God...
Poland dont need Captain America Poland had a lot of real superheroes ... and because of fear of Soviet union those people have been murdered under "Polish" comunist regime treated not as heroes but war criminals.
in US Witold Pilecki would receive like 3 Medal of Honour awards in fact he has received several times Virtutti militari medal highest Polish valour award
Like you said, if there's no live video of a Sabaton song it's very likely that it's just too bloody depressing to play in front of an audience.
The Last Stand would be a great deep dive.
i am actually reading the book about Witold Pilecki and it is called the volunteer. It is interesting reading
