the men in the front isn't always most important without civilian workforce the war couldn't be fought
being verified clearly doesn't require grammar capabilities
That movie probably for the most part utilized resources which could not aid the front any further.
Money, for instance is not important in war as its value is highly manipulated by the state (usually by very high inflation brought about by excessive printing of fiat money to effectively decrease the value of labor and material. Not sustainable in the long run, but effective at lowering the already huge cost of the war to the state).

@@dwarow2508 Russian troll.
Let me explain in simple layman terms so even you can understand.
If Russians claim they "liberated" a nation, and such nation claims they didn't, then "liberated" nation was not liberated at all, just occupied.
If you disagree you stand on the occupant side, it's the same thing as saying that Leopold II liberated Congo.

You are not in the position to talk about explanations.
The claim of some random nation plays absolutely no role in the topic regarding the Soviet liberation. Such claims and wild accusations can be made at any time as you have just proven.

One Polish officer Józef Poniatowski (a nephew of king Stanislaus Augustus of Poland (r. 1764-1795) ) became Napoleon's Marshal of the French Empire, the ONLY non-French on that position.
A staunch ally and supporter of Emperor Napoleon I of France, Poniatowski voluntarily took part in the French invasion of Russia of 1812. Injuries received during the fighting for Moscow eventually forced his return to Warsaw, where he worked on the reconstruction of the Polish forces intended to fight in Germany. Covering the retreat of the French army after Napoleon lost the "Battle of the Nations" at Leipzig (1813), Poniatowski was repeatedly wounded and drowned in the Elster river.

Yeah usually when you liberate someone you're freeing them. You free them, and you go home. The Soviets stayed there for like another 49 years. What a a bunch of pissants.
The soviets did the same in the cities of Lwow, after the Polish repulsed the Germans from it in an uprising in 1944, the Soviets arrested and sent 5000 partisans to the gulag

@@connormcnie4662 your a moron who has no clue on what the Soviets did to Poles
The Soviet themselves invaded Poland, they held a victory parade with the Germans in the city of Brzesc
The Soviets during the great purge ethnically cleansed poles in the “NKVD Polish operation” where 20% of the polish population in the USSR was sentenced
The Soviets deported millions of Poles to Siberia, some even to Germany, I had family who were living in Soviet occupied Poland who were deported to Germany, they went on to work in factories in Labour
In 1940 the Soviets committed the Katyn massacre where them shot 22K Polish POW’s, intelligentsia and polish religious leaders and covered up the bodies, the Russian government denied it was them until the fall of the USSR
The Soviets purposefully left the poles in the Warsaw uprising go die
And it wasn’t a “Quasi satellite state” the first Polish communist constitution literally had personal amendments by Stalin himself, the communists in the early years killed thousands of poles who opposed the regime and wanted a free Poland, Witold Pilecki, a Polish resistance leader who infiltrated Aushwitz and later escaped, had his fate sealed when tears after the war the communists arranged a kangaroo trial sentencing him to death, he was shot in the head with no dignity

One of your best videos, love the subtly
Hitler be like: Why that damn Skeletor is making movies!
1:51, “Liberated”, I don’t agree all that much…
Hold Kino that Kino?Must have had 4 men that massacred everyone with pistols to strange tech.
"Only time will tell what new questions await us in this THEATER OF THE DAMNED!"
The movie is just like Mobius, truly a movie of all time.
"The Soviets had just liberated the polish capital of Warsaw."
That's the best joke I've heard all day!
Please make a video about the Hungaryan Székely division, its a great story, after the defeat in ww1 the romanians tried to invade Hungary and this division defended Hungary with a few tousend man and an armored train, as a Hungarian i please you if you have time, please watch out for it
that actually sounds like a great idea for a video
as a Romanian I never knew this, sounds like a great idea!
@@batman6621 what about the brazilians that shoot dolphins thinking it was u-boats?
Forget making a video about it, somebody should make a movie about that!
Might wanna ask yarnhub
Question’s we’d never even thought of or well even knew it existed.
@WireOf Encore who didn't do what?
Thank you for video sir
👏🏼💐👏🏼💐👏🏼💐👏🏼💐
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Someone was doing a HOI4 challenge then they bought bob sample tanks
I wouldn't say the Soviets "liberated" Warsaw. Took it, yes.
Oh I wouldn’t say “liberated”. More like, Under New Management
"Under new management"
They liberated it
They liberated it.
@Sir Fapsalot His not talking about the jews, hes talking about the heartland of Poland, the sovet union purposefully halted their offensive when the polish rose up, right after it ended they walked in to its ruins, the only "soviet" support they got was from the Polish army in the east under russian supervision, who went against orders to help the Poles, the soviets had also had a history of arresting and murdering Polish partisans, as well as Polish military officers (Katyn massacre) Stalin himself ordered that the resistance was not given any outside support
so no they didnt liberate it, they walked into its ruins after abandoning the Polish home army
You should make a video about unsinkable Sam! He was a cat who actually “served in WW2 with both the Royal Navy and kriegsmarine. Thanks !
Came back after watching some of his videos some years ago. And he still makes videos. How does he not run out of storys?
I wouldn't say Poland was liberated. More like under new management.
The napoleonic wars would be a great topic to cover
The title made it seem like actual soldiers picked up muskets against the allies
Hitler: Where are the reserves!
Gobbels: Oh, we're using them to make a movie.
1:58 Soviet Sappers. I guess you sure love these guys.
1:52 The Soviets liberated the Polish city of Warsaw? More like Stalin waited for Germany to eliminate Poland’s non-Communist resistance forces before moving in to annex the entire country.
"The Soviets liberated Poland"
Yeah.... " *liberated* "
There is also an movie called "Feuerzangenbowle"
Its also filmed in the final years of the war and is still today an traditional Film in Germany
(you also cant find any Hakenkreuze or soldiers in the Movie)
Liberated Warsaw... Red Army: "More like, Under new management..."
Well, nobody has swapped any mausers for an musket. Thanks bullshit history, i thought id learn something truly amazing. Nothing new, only catchy title from you. Don't ruin this channel
