On October 29, 1944, General Stanisław Maczek’s Polish 1st Armoured Division liberated the city of Breda from Nazi occupation. Thanks to the strategic precision and courage of Maczek’s forces, the city and its residents were spared significant damage and casualties, an extraordinary accomplishment in the context of urban warfare. However, this achievement came at a great cost to the Polish liberators. Many young soldiers of the division made the ultimate sacrifice during the battle, giving their lives to secure Breda’s freedom. This act of bravery is deeply honored in Breda, where the city has maintained a strong connection to Poland and to General Maczek’s legacy. The people of Breda continue to remember and pay tribute to these Polish heroes, commemorating their role in the city’s history and reflecting on the profound bond created through their sacrifice. Monuments, memorials, and annual ceremonies in Breda stand as reminders of the Polish division’s valor and of the friendship between the Polish and Dutch people forged on that pivotal day in 1944.
6:06 It was actually the favourtie song of marshall Pilsudski. It is called "My Pierwsza Brygada" - ang. "We - The First Brigade" it tells a story about polish legions formed to regain Poland's independence under the command of the marshall. I recommend you to react to it. It is really good and it is the anthem of the polish military forces.
That's seem to be weird to see foreign army march at the streets of your town. But I'm proud to see those guys and also proud of the Gen. Maczek Army and even more proud when I saw other videos from the people at the streets when you hear clapping and gratitude. That heartwarming feeling you know you're not on the dark side 🥰❤
Polish army bands still use the mace to actually conduct the music. In most of the world the mace major role's mostly visual tricks, but in Polish bands it's the actual conducting - the movements indicate the tempo and the amplitude (high or low) instructs the band on the music's dynamics. Rising the mace still is the sign to prepare to play.
What are you getting excited about here? See the Polish army parade in Moscow. th-cam.com/video/JW58wcU1qrE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pcM_L_J3OJGGfuvt th-cam.com/video/ouIC-etWwsY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tTO2yiaXHr6RN4LG Italia.

They were NOT Nazis from outer space, but GERMANS. Occupiers and murderers of Poles

POLAND!!!!💪😎
POLSKA bez Tuska
And that " stick " is something similar to conductor using baton in orchestra 🙂
My, Pierwsza Brygada,
Strzelecka gromada,
Na stos, rzuciliśmy
Swój życia los,
Na stos, na stos!
My 🇵🇱🇵🇱❤❤
"My pierwsza brygada" - Title of the song.
My polacy tacy juz jestesmy. A Pierwsza Brygada jest tylko podzeikowaniem i szacunkiem
Pozdrawiam

Poles love a united Europe and we are willing to fight for it, but you have to give Poles a pretext to fight!!!
