- Poland actually played a pretty important and often unappreciated role in WW2, so I thought I'd give them some press. I'll be making a second part to this in the next few months that will cover the Polish Underground and the Warsaw Uprising. Bring your tissues for that one.

Feel free to ask me anything. I’m on my second play-through of the Witcher 3, so I’m basically an expert on Polish culture.
You should do more collaborations with other history channels like how Germany and Russia did a collaboration on the partition of Poland. We need to get your channel name out there. Great stuff man.
Keep your eyes peeled! There’s more collabs coming soon!
If you have a chance, grab some Sapkowski's books. Not sure about quality of English translation, but you will get even more of the Polish way of thinking anyway ;). "Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all..."
I’ll see if my library has any of his work!
any intel on eta of part 2?

Dont forget UK left Poland alone too
@@rambidan6259 hold on. The reason that september '39 went so badly WAS British and French diplomat meddling
1. No full mobilisation was because they basically said "don't provoke hitler", not because Poland did less than it could because it was told to.
2. Bonkers strategy with no depth of defense with units stationed all over the border with little to no reserve- again, political reason, to get as many units into battle as soon as possible to show brits and french that Poland is fully commited and that they need to attack NOW. They didn't, once germans broke through in one place then soon an entire armies were encircled and a campaign that would take a month or two (still, definitelly would be lost) if generals were allowed to operate normally really ended after 2 weeks and the rest was mopping up.

The plan in 1939 was to reorganize in the South East Poland's wildlands - 'the Romanian bridgehead' - and to operate from there until Spring at least, when the Franco-British offensive would begin and give some relief to the Polish Army. Unfortunately, French and British agreed on not helping Poland already on September 12 at the Abbeville Conference. It turned out they only used Poland to buy them some time. And reorganization was not possible due to the Soviet invasion which occurred exactly because Stalin learned about the Franco-British decision on not helping Poland (originally Soviets were to attack Poland at the same time as Germany, that's what they agreed on together, but they actually waited for the decision of Allies whether to help Poland or not because Soviets wouldn't like to join war against the Allies).
Yep. That’s about right.
Absolutely love it!
Longer format is working great for healthy combination of historical facts and some of the funniest jokes yet on this channel.
Thanks dude! They take a long time to make, but I feel like it’s worth it! My next video will end up being a bit shorter due to time constraints, but I think it’ll still be a good time.

poland is the kid everybody picks on but get into a fight and you will most likely win but will be sent to the emergency room and come out with half of your body in a cast. and poland will somehow heal himself through magic just to get picked on again.
I sincerely hope that this time history will not repeat itself, although as a Polish citizen I have some fears! 😔
Great video. I heard about Polish at Monte Casino, but never knew the whole story. Your video explained in depth of how the Polish Corps were formed, and what they were doing each year of the war. I find your channel very educational. 👍😃
Thank you! I’m glad I can help people learn about this stuff!
On the German side, Poles (from Silesia) were also included in the strength incorporated into the Wermacht. Probably that is why they fought so fiercely because we do not run ;)
I love the "Please let this be a normal field trip" bit.
This was surprisingly well made. Regards!
Thank you!
You guys are killing me with those multiple simultaneous uploads. I was watching the House of History video but had to pause it because Polish lads obviously have precedence over the German ones.
Anyway, if you have problems with SBSK try just saying Samodzielna Brygada Strzelców Karpackich. ;)
I'm looking forward to part 2! It's fitting to release it in August, as we here in Poland might very well just rename it as the "Warsaw Uprising Memory Month". BTW are you familiar with one surprisingly fortuitous and wholesome episode that connects the topics of armies in exile and the resistance - the story of Stalag VI-C Oberlangen?
I’m not familiar with that story. Could you tell me about it?
@@HistoryHouseProductions On 12 April 1945 soldiers of the Polish 1st Armoured Division liberated a POW camp with rather unusual inmates... 1,728 Polish female soldiers, veterans of the Warsaw Uprising. Needless to say, this was rather happy and moving surprise for everyone. Some were even reunited with their loved ones, many more found themselves new loved ones. :)
Of course, the status of soldiers and ranks of those women were recognized and they joined the Division. Which btw created something like little unofficial Polish-occupied zone in Germany, gathering many more Polish DPs (displaced persons).

I didn't know about this. What a happy history for our people!

9:00: "Dude, where TF is Wojtek!"
Low key, I mostly didn’t talk about him so I wouldn’t have to draw a bear. Also, everyone knows about Wojtek lol.
Germany invaded Poland without declaring war. And they started with the destruction of the civil city. They attacked the city of Wieluń. The attacks were carried out by Ju 87B dive bombers as part of Operation Ostmarkflug, i.e. an air attack on Poland. 70-75% of the city was destroyed - only the former Piarist college survived from the market buildings. The total destruction was, among others a complex of buildings of the All Saints Hospital (main building from 1840) and a synagogue from 1842. The 14th-century church of Saint. Michał, who the Germans blew up after looting of valuable monuments. Wieluń is a city that suffered the most losses in the first days of World War II. Wieluń is considered a goal without any military or strategic significance; without the army, command of the army, industry, not being a communication node. The raid is considered a war crime because German aviation:
Wieluń bombed by surprise (Article 26 of the Hague Convention IV) as an open city (Article 25 of the Hague Convention IV)
the subject of the raid were objects protected by art. 27th Hague Convention - buildings dedicated to religious rites (parish church, synagogue), hospital, historical monuments. By definition, Article 27 of the Hague Convention also applies absolutely to defended cities.
pilots fired at defenseless civilians (Article 23b of the Hague Convention IV)

Thank you bro for This video
Not sure whether that was a sarcasm or not, but Poles DID NOT volunteered to Market-Garden. Actually, in September 1944 Warsaw Uprising was dying, with some 200.000 people already massacred and no help from cynical Soviets. So Sosabowski's paras were sure that they will be ultimately dropped into Poland. Instead, they had been sacrificed to the ego of Monty. That's why Poles were at the brink of mutiny and Sosabowski was so 'happy' with Browning's ideas (if you remember 'A bridge too far'). Be careful, guys, as those are quite grim topics for Poles. Otherwise, great job!
Sort of sarcasm, sort of not. By the time Market Garden was getting going, Sosabowski and the Polish Government in Exile were waking up to the idea that their paratroopers weren’t going to be sent in to relieve the Warsaw Uprising due to political tensions between the Poles in London and the Soviets. However, they knew that if they failed to participate at all in the war it would ruin the credibility of the London government and give the Soviets even more ammunition to use against them after the war. So their hand was a bit forced, but the Poles did offer use of the Parachute Brigade. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
@@HistoryHouseProductions At the end of the day, it was Sosabowski who convinced regular soldiers to obey the orders, against their deep desire to fight in Poland. Truly great officer, in my opinion one of the best Allies had. It's a pity he was scapegoated for M-G failure, what had been revealed only lastly - czcams.com/video/POi3b2QHrc0/video.html. There is a good Polish documentary about 1 SBS and Sosabowski, "Honor Generała" ("General's Honor") but I can't find good English version.
One more thing - surprisingly or not, Polish Navy was also quite active during WWII, using both vessels that escaped Poland and those handed over by Brits. Thanks for all your efforts, keep it real! ;)
@@HistoryHouseProductions Actually they weren't sent to Poland because Allies prefered Soviets over their loyal ally. There were very high tensions in the Government in Exile, especially after Katyń came out. Our Commander in Chief, Gen. Sosnkowski, was really pissed off because of allied appeasement of Soviets and was removed from the position due to the pressure of Churchill when the Warsaw Uprising was ongoing. He was later denied American and British visas for that.
@@HistoryHouseProductions that group have to be pity in Poland
@@MuadPL *"Actually they weren't sent to Poland because Allies prefered Soviets over their loyal ally."*
Nah, they were not sent, as it had always been considered a waste of a unit, bereft of logistical support from day 1. The whole idea was almost as stupid as a "plan" to send the entire armored division in the same manner - yes, this insanity was _unironically_ pitched. Kinda shows how detached from reality some people were.
Hilariously, after being told waaaaaay earlier (by both UK and US) that sending paras would not be happening, period, Polish negotiators "pulled a Ribbentrop" and told their HQ they were "working on it" to save face. This resulted in a persisting delusion, which would be gradually leaking to resistance commanders, who, in turn, would be making crucial decision based on a pure fantasy.
I subscribed because of the magic school bus intro. You sir have a special mind xD
Seems like you've made a great research before making this video. You mentioned about such detais like Berling's embezzling of funds. Bravo!
Thank you! I read a couple great books!
"So they were quite pleased to receive the veteran Polish flyers" *while one Polish plane crashes*
which they actually did sometimes. As per Jan Zumbach memoirs (RAF Ace, smuggler, mercenary. Flew a stolen B26 for Biafra and commanded Katangeese Air Force. an interesting fella) Polish fighters that they were used to had fixed gear, while British Hurricanes had it folding into wings. Some pilots forgot about this when landing, resulting in rather hillarious crashes when they tried to land without gear.
There were about 150 polish pilots in the battle of Britain out of 3,000. About 20% of the airmen weren't British, but they came from all over the world. 303 Squadron, which was made up of mainly Poles, is probably the most well known formation in the UK.
Great Channel!

I really want to know the name of this song 3:19 , someone please help
Gen. Sosabowski was one of few sane people during Market Garden operation. Great shame.
You forgot about interesting from 2nd Corpse. They had a Syrian Brown Bear Wojtek in arms. Soldiers from 2nd Corpse adopted him while they were stationed in Iran. They look after him and they did not want to leave him. They did some magic in papers and Polish 2nd Corpse got new soldier: Corporal Wojtek. He was inteligent animal and was helping during fights. Wojtek was carrying altilery shells and rumor says he never droped once. He lived trough war. After its ends Wojtek was moved to Edinburgh Zoo. He passed out in 1963.
It's pretty accurate but you forgot that Berling's Army were much bigger than all units in exile and they did participate in capture of Berlin.
They even managed to hoist the Polish flag on Brandenburg Gate (when they tried to hoist it on Reichstag too they got into a gunfight with Russians)
General Sosabowski wrote a book about airborne warfare and the British use it as a manual to this day

@fht71 ole Liberation of Breda (also the battle of Breda, occupation of Breda) - the liberation of the Dutch city of Breda by the forces of the Polish 1st Armored Division during World War II on October 28-30, 1944. On October 27, Gen. Stanisław Maczek commanding the 1st Armored Division received an order to seize Breda - the largest city in North Brabant, and an important road, rail and river transport hub. A day later, Polish soldiers appeared on the outskirts of Breda, pushing the enemy from the surrounding villages. The Germans were prepared to repel the attack from the west, according to the direction of the Allied offensive. Poles, however, circumnavigated Breda from the north with the forces of the 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade under the command of Colonel Tadeusz Majewski, they turned 90 degrees, then attacked the city from the east, achieving the full effect of surprise. The Germans did not have defensive positions prepared in the eastern part of Breda, so they were not able to put up effective resistance there. At the same time, the 3rd Rifle Brigade under the command of Colonel Franciszek Skibiński attacked from the southwest, thus the Poles took the opponent in the grip. Germans, fearing a lap, withdrew from the city. Therefore, despite the fact that Breda was manned by three German divisions: 256, 711 and 719., the city avoided bloody fights. Poles attacked without artillery preparation to avoid losses among civilians and in the historic buildings of the city. On October 30, the last secluded points of German resistance were neutralized, and the 1st Armored Division paraded by Breda, greeted enthusiastically by the local Dutch. Immediately after the liberation of Breda, the 1st Armored Division marched back to the front and on November 3 it hit the Dutch city of Moerdijk, where it suppressed German resistance in a six-day battle until November 9. During the "Operation Breda" the 1st Armored Division lost 69 officers and 876 soldiers (killed, wounded and missing). At the same time, Germany suffered losses of 53 officers and 2,892 privates.
9:45 That's not how it went.
The brigade was the only unit under actual Polish command, not answering to British and held back in reserve if an occasion to deploy them into poland occured. (Which Poles tried to achieve during the uprising but RAF said "nope", even though ressuply planes did manage to get over Warsaw, but i get it. Why would they want to risk it in a pointless endeavour?) That was until june '44 when Brits basically strongarmed the Poles into reasigning the Brigade under Browning. Then Market Garden happened, and Sosabowski was butting heads with Brits during its planing, rightfully so. It failed, Poles got blamed by Monty and Browning (even though thanks to RAF and fog they arrived far to late to be able to change anything, still, lost 25% trying to. Remember Gene Hackman and his "sznur"?) , the brigade pulled to the rear and deployed again only in May '45 as part of occupational forces. As for Sosabowski himself, He got sacked from command and after the war spent rest of his days in exile as a warehouse worker. A General stacking crates. A giant fuck You.
A cherry on top. There's nothing pettier than a scorned Brit.
Shortly after the war, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands wanted to award the Parachute Brigade and wrote the government a request. However, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Eelco van Kleffens, opposed the idea. He thought an award for the Poles would upset the relations with the 'Big Three' and harm national interests.
More than 61 years after World War II, the Brigade was awarded the Military Order of William (31 May 2006) for its distinguished and outstanding acts of bravery, skill and devotion to duty during Operation Market Garden. The Military Order of William is the highest Dutch military award. Only eleven units have been awarded this honor, of which only two are non-Dutch. The award is now worn by the 6th Airborne Brigade which inherited the battle honours of the brigade.

Just a correction 5:20. The British weren't pleased to receive the Polish pilots and treated them as inferiors. It was the diligence of New Zealander Sir Keith Park (The Defender of London) who fought vociferiously for their inclusion.
Oddly enough Poles fought alongside Kiwis in North Africa and Monte Cassino as well as the Battle of Britain. Poles supplied 145 pilots New Zealand 135. They were the two highest contributors of foreign pilots at the battle. In addition New Zealand took in 800 Polish refugees who had been initially deported by Stalin to Siberia before being sent to Persia and then NZ.
