Italians mostly fought on allied side in that battle...
@@eliogabbalo0965 The ENR were more on the Anzio beachhead side of the battle. (historian Roger Cirillo actually had a family member die fighting on the Fascist side in that battle) That said, I appreciate the mention of Italians fighting on both sides within their own country because like so many realities of the Italian campaign that go overlooked too often if you ask me.
The RSI was a total rump state, but it still fielded like 200,000 men and was winning battles in Northern Italy into 1945. As the Allied war effort pivoted to the Pacific and to NW Europe, the Italians increasingly shouldered the fighting (not to mention the Brazilians who... honestly could be counted as more Italians if you know anything about Italians in Brazil) and once you had committed Fascists and fellow-travelers who wanted to fight on one side, and on the other side committed and experienced paisonos like the Folgore jumping at the bit to oust the Germans and redeem themselves for North Africa - things became very messy.
Once all the little Luigis conscripted to fight went home or worked behind the lines as support troops in Italy and France, the combat performance of individual Italian units on both sides went up dramatically. Not to mention the various bandits and partisans in the mix. All this is forgotten, so even if there weren’t Italians at Monte Cassino other than the old nonplussed, barefoot goatherder disinterestedly watching the carnage as he tends to his flock (maybe there were, I haven’t heard anything about it but the Germans love to take credit for things and the Allies tended to downplay the Italian contributions for a whole mess of reasons so there might’ve been for all we know) I still appreciate the off-hand mention.

Fun fact: My Nona's(Italian for grandmother) village of Coreno Ausonio was 96% destroyed by the fighting for Monte Casino. She fled into the mountains above her village and hid there with her family until she and her family was taken by the Wehrmacht behind their lines. I never have got the full story from her but I really want to make a documentary of her first hand experience of the events. Shes still alive in her mid 80's I believe. I visited the town, in which my grandmother still owns a house in. And its fucking surreal. There are STILL bombed out houses that haven't been torn down or replaced. As if the city never really recovered. I know this will get lost in the comments, but its a cool version of history that you dont hear a lot: The civilians side of it.
That stuff happens. My city was an important comercial center and route to the US until the Mexican civil war ravaged the city. It never economically recovered
The song he used during the Polish segment is called “the Red Poppies of Monte Cassino” it’s a very famous song about how the poppy flowers of Monte Cassino are red because they absorbed/drank up Polish blood. Basically so many Poles died in this sacrifice that the poppies will always be red. A little bit of mythology starting there!
"making fun of the new zealanders for having a sense of self preservation"
Ah yes my favorite participant of WWII: the death korps of Krieg
As a descendant of several members of the 28th (Maori) Battalion, if it was anybody but the Poles making fun of us I'd be very offended.
As it is; I have to call it fair.

THE PROPHECY FULLFILLED
Another thing that was especially crushing for Poland was the increasing awareness that the rest of the Allies were making deals behind their backs to sell them to the Soviets after the war. For the II Corps, who had been Soviet prisoners and seen friends and family die to their Communist captors, this would have been an even greater anguish. Thank you for covering the oft-forgotten Poles.
That's the Allies for ya. Selling the world out to bolshevism, slowly.
Now look at the world. I wouldn't call WWII a victory.
Mad Respect for using "red poppies on monte casino"
Whenever New Zealand comes up in war stories, their allies seem to have loads of respect for them.
And then there's Poland. Dammit Poland.
I think culturally the Poles are more about jeering and mockery and boastfulness, but it's not exactly disrespectful to their eyes. It's a kind of smack talk thing.
@@AtheAetheling its like messing with a fellow athlete or even your teammate. But more aggressive. And with guns 😁
It's kinda rude given the Poles hadn't seen combat and the 2nd NZ division has been fighting constantly for 3+ years and was regarded as the premier infantry division in the theatre. But hey, I'm sure the Poles learnt the value of ducking when the Germans were shooting at you. Or the Americans were shooting at all. ;) :)
@@iatsd That's not exactly true. Most of the soldiers from Polish 2nd Corps had seen combat in Semptember 1939, and nearly 5000 of them from Polish 3rd Carpathian Infantry Division have fought in the African Campaign, then belonging to the Polish Independent Carpathian Rifle Brigade, seeing action f.e. in the Siege of Tobruk.
@@VillageBoy44 I wouldn't rate the Polish campaign experience as anything worthwhile in the experience dept, but the Tobruk part is a good point - thank you for mentioning it.
My dad has a letter his Italian-American grandfather wrote to his wife, from Rome, in which he said, "I have finally returned home, and even marched on Rome myself."
Yes, as part of the 1st Armored Cavalry, he was part of Mark Clark's march on Rome.
Brother, honestly, I'm just glad to see you still kicking. No judgement for taking the Raid sponsorship. We all know the drill with it, just glad you're getting some extra cash.
I can't express how happy i am to see that Poland is considered to be a major one here. I always thought that in the west they were teaching of the poles more as a footnote, just like in the case of Battle for England in which the poles played a major part and no one gives us the credit of doing so. You man are awesome.
I’m polish and I appreciate it too
@Comrade LighTZY United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, not sure about that one buddy.
@@momirputnik3257 You forgot China.
@Comrade LighTZY could you elaborate?
Poland had 5th largest army in europe in 1939 (If im recalling correctly) but Polish standing army after fall of Poland really wasnt so significant, at least in comparison with major powers
(not trying to downplay Poland, Im Polish myself :) )
*Battle for Britain
Alot of credit is given to the 303 squadron & the few Polish mariners, but sadly mostly in the academic cirles than the general public.

Without this battle I wouldn't exist! My grandpa got transferred from the Soviet Union to defend Monte Cassino (and thus propably saving his life); after that he was lucky enough having fight and (and then getting captured) at the western front. He originally was from East-Prussia, so he was pretty lucky to escape the red horde and after that East Germany, only to meet my grandma not far from his POW camp :D
nice
God bless your grandpa. He was one of the last Crusaders to EVER exist. That's one Hell of a thing.
@@AqueoxI don't remember crusaders committing mass genocide and putting millions in concentration camps
@@at2t I don't either. I do remember the Holodomor though, the worst genocide in human history. Millions of White Christians killed by the USSR and the tribe of those who killed Christ at the top orchestrating it all.
@@Aqueox ??????? it killed many Muslims and Jews too don't you worry, plus many factors played into it, like poor rainfall and gold sanctions by the united States (banning trade with the USSR other than agricultural and consumer goods) unlike the Germans wich very much didn't need any reason to round up millions in concentration camps and write manifestos about colonising their lands.

F-french..breakthrough? Noooooo, impossible! France surrender memes lied to me!
Its funny cuz french soldiers fought insanely hard, there co's were just morons... Of all things about the wars thats over exaggerated, i think france retreating constantly is probably the most
and French colonial troops especially Morrocans were good for mountain warfare
France surrendering has nothing to do with the combat effectiveness and bravery of the french soldiers, it is only aimed at the incompetent french leadership that allowed it to happen in the first place.
the french when under proper command were more than capable.

Love your stuff. Cassino was a damn mess and Clark deserves his own video. I'm Japanese-American and Clark is a very divisive figure in the community for his treatment/use of the 100th Infantry Battalion (Separate) and later the 100/442 Regimental Combat Team. The 100th fought in the first battle and took heavy casualties. Like one platoon had 5 men remaining out of 40 casualties. They took objectives but could not hold as other attacks faltered. I know you tend to make "bigger picture" videos, but I'd love to see your take on the Japanese-American units of WWII. Keep up the good work and Go For Broke!

12:58 I salute you for using Czerwone maki pod Monte Cassino song,
If anyone is interested in the lyrics there ya go.
Czy widzisz te gruzy na szczycie?
Tam wróg twój się kryje jak szczur.
Musicie, musicie, musicie
Za kark wziąć i strącić go z chmur.
I poszli szaleni, zażarci,
I poszli zabijać i mścić,
I poszli, jak zawsze uparci,
Jak zawsze za honor się bić.
Refren:
Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino
Zamiast rosy piły polską krew.
Po tych makach szedł żołnierz i ginął
Lecz od śmierci silniejszy był gniew.
Przejdą lata i wieki przeminą,
Pozostaną ślady dawnych dni
I wszystkie maki na Monte Cassino
Czerwieńsze będą, bo z polskiej wzrosły krwi.
2.
Runęli przez ogień straceńcy,
Niejeden z nich dostał i padł,
Jak ci z Samosierry szaleńcy,
Jak ci spod Racławic sprzed lat.
Runęli impetem szalonym
I doszli. I udał się szturm.
I sztandar swój biało-czerwony
Zatknęli na gruzach wśród chmur.
Refren:
Czerwone maki...
3.
Czy widzisz ten rząd białych krzyży?
To Polak z honorem brał ślub.
Idź naprzód, im dalej, im wyżej,
Tym więcej ich znajdziesz u stóp.
Ta ziemia do Polski należy,
Choć Polska daleko jest stąd,
Bo wolność krzyżami się mierzy,
Historia ten jeden ma błąd .
My rough translation of that above would be :
Do you see that debris at the top?
Over there, your foe is hiding like a rat
You must, You must, You must
Grab him by the neck and cast him down from the clouds
And they went reckless and fierce
And they went to kill and to get revenge
And they went like always unyielding
Like always to fight for honor.
Red poppies at Monte Cassino
Instead of dew, were drinking Polish blood
Through these poppies soldier walked and perished
But stronger than death was his wrath
Years go by and centuries pass
The traces of old days will last
And all the poppies at Monte Cassino
Will be redder because they grown out drinking polish blood.
They charged through fire, doomed
Many got shot and died
Like those reckless of Samosierra
Like those at Racławice, centuries before
They charged with force of madness
And made it. The assault was a success
And their white and red banner
Was raised on the rubble among the clouds
Red poppies...
Can you see this row of white crosses?
There Pole swore an oath to honor,
Go forward, the farther, the higher
The more of them you'll find at your feet
This ground belongs to Poles,
Although, Poland is far away from here
Because freedom, by crosses, is measured
This is history's, one mistake
Red poppies...
see, and this is why it is absolutely vital that everyone donate vowels as soon as possible. Poland is suffering a severe shortage of vowels. Can't you give just one vowel a day to a needy Polish poet, historian, or child?
@@iatsd I know it's a joke but I wanna explain.
Actually Polish have more vowels than it seems. vowels are: a, ą, e, ę, i, o, u ,y. y is always vowel, i sometimes is not. There are diphtongs in Polish that are often used. Those are sz, cz, rz, dz, dż, dź, si, ci, dzi, zi (Note, i with those is sometimes vowel and sometimes not, depends if theres vowel after it). That makes that it seems there are more sounds in words than actually are.
For example. in first line of lyrics in Polish: 9 vowel sounds out of total 23 sounds vs translation: 9 vowel sounds out of 21 total.
Additionaly in English there are diphtongs like ee, oo etc. Which makes it seems it has more vowels.
This is an amazing song and just so hardcore.
We all missed you. Glad theres a new video!
Great to see some new content. We need more!
Yay! Daddy’s home again!

Poland: hahahahahahahahaha look at them caring for there life’s and taking cover
Also Poland: cries a little inside because they have nothing left and keep being made fun of
Geography sucks. Contributing major part to war effort comparably to other minor countries and still losing independence to Soviets for another few decades. Geography sucks
My great grandfather was a Polish fighting in Monte Casino. He was severily wounded and taken for dead until they tried to losd him in a lorry full of corpses.
After recovering he heard what happened at Warsaw and seeing the Soviets would effectively rule Poland he married an Italian girl he met, said "fuck this" and left for Argentina :)
MafiousBJ that’s interesting where do you live as a result of that decision, did your family stay in Argentina, or did you perhaps immigrate somewhere else, as I am a Canadian born Colombian.
@@theultimategamer8537 most of the family still live in Argentina but many have moved abroad to Paraguay of far north to U.S.A and Canadá. Certainly there is a feeling of "not belonging" to only one place in most of the family, specially older relatives after all the years Poland spent behind the iron curtain and no one would dare to go back
@@-_-9440 I don't know how major Poland's contribution was.
Also, geography isn't to blame, geography is just looking at the results. War and politics are to blame.

Once we had a blue light that we were going home
Back to dear old Blighty, never more to roam.
Then somebody said in France you'll fight.
We said never mind, we'll just sit tight,
The windy D-Day Dodgers, out in Sunny Italy.
Now Lady Astor, get a load of this.
Don't stand up on a platform and talk a load of piss.
You're the nation's sweetheart, the nation's pride
We think your mouth's too bloody wide.
We are the D-Day Dodgers, in Sunny Italy.
When you look 'round the mountains, through the mud and rain
You'll find the crosses, some which bear no name.
Heartbreak, and toil and suffering gone
The boys beneath them slumber on
They were the D-Day Dodgers, who'll stay in Italy.
So listen all you people, over land and foam
Even though we've parted, our hearts are close to home.
When we return we hope you'll say
'You did your little bit, though far away
All of the D-Day Dodgers, way out there in Italy.'"
-The Ballad of the D-Day Dodgers, 1944
Remember the Danes! Anders Lassen (A SAS soldier and only non-Anglo and Commonwealth soldier to receive the VC) died at Monte Cassino.
Danes made quite big part in war effort. Maybe not military, but with espionage. It was first class .
Glad to see you back, sir.
