The Germans exterminated three million European Jews but also took the lives of three million Poles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Adolf_Hitler
Regard Center/East Europe thing. Through most of its history Poland was East European country and so use of this name in historical context is not wrong. But important note is that Russia was not considered as part of Europe at all! It wasn't until modern times when Soviet argued that Europe end on Ural mountains (what geographically is correct) and because most of they civilized part is in Europe, they should be considered as East European country. What by extend place Poland, Czechoslovakia and East Germany in the center of Europe. But those countries still were part of Eastern Block, what was collectively refereed as East Europe. After fall of USSR, Center European countries start pointing out toward massive cultural differences with East Europe (also because of stereotype of poverty and corruption) and asking to be considered as Central Europe instead. What make sense as most countries in this region is Roman Christian and technologically was always closer to West Europe then Asia.
@@TheRezro "Through most of its history Poland was East European country". What absurd gibberish. First of all, Poland is 1,056 years old and throughout this period it belonged religiously, culturally, politically (except for the Soviet occupation of 1945-89) and civilizationally to Western Europe. It is located in the very center of this continent, because that is determined by geography, not Russian tsars or Soviet oligarchs. No more stupid speculations.
Thank you for your reaction. What a pity that Putin wants if Poland was back part of Russia as Belarus or Ukraine.
@@wladyslawbukowski Read the whole statement:
"Poland was East European country and so use of this name in historical context is not wrong. But important note is that Russia was not considered as part of Europe at all!"
Yes, Poland was always East part of THE (West) Europe. And not part of East (Asia).
Mirosław Hermaszewski September 1941 - 12 December 2022) was a Polish cosmonaut, fighter plane pilot, and Polish Air Force officer. He became the first, and at the time of his death in December 2022, the only, Polish national in space when he flew aboard the Soviet Soyuz 30 spacecraft in 1978.[2] He was the 89th human to reach outer space.[3][4].
It's strange that Poland is avoided at every step and people are trying to tell people nonsense, but it's not the first time. To communism. Poland fought against the CCCP for years and in 1981 organized a national uprising, which led to its independence in 1989. The Germans have the fall of the Berlin Wall, but that was much later, and they didn't fight the Soviets at all. 1/3 of society denounced the rest, this is documented in German films about the Stasi. The same with Enigma, Poles had already read it several years before the war and its transfer to the Allies helped win the war, but only in the 21st century did the English admit that they received it from the Poles. In every film about France, they talk about the resistance movement (3,000 people) and no other, and in fact half of France was under occupation and cooperated with the Germans, and the other half was the fascist government in Vishy. In Poland, the resistance movement and army number 400,000. people and no mention of it anywhere in the world or in any movie. I don't know what it's about, but sometimes there's so much nonsense in these films that Poles want to laugh.
Ironically it is from US source I learn that, contrary to popular opinion Poles did objectively caused largest damage to Nazi Germany, before US join the war. Capture of Poland was not fast victory as German propaganda claimed, but a bloody battle what cost Germans a lot. It just go under radar as Germans still ride on hype, but it wasn't until later historians realized that entire German divisions never join East Front, but straight disappeared before Barbarossa. And that not mentioning fact that Polish divisions under general Anders, fight alongside Red Army in East Front and later in Africa alongside British. And Poles also participated in most spectacular battles after Normandy. Most notably Market Garden and Battle of Monte Casino. So yeh. It make sense.
German transport until the end of the war was based on railways and harnessed horses. What they show in movies is irony. The Czech Republic captured most of the heavy equipment without a fight. And they had better command than equipment
@@TheRezro
@@piotrsodel3077 Yup. I learn that from Americans, but somehow not from Russians. That would explain why there is so many Wehraboos there.
Because in the end of the day winners write history. Poland was unfortunately biggest looser in WW2 and after it. It's miracle we still exist.
It can be said that Poland is already flying into space. No flight into space takes place without a Polish engineer from NASA. He planned every space flight in recent decades. I'm planning more. The most important space missions: Galileo, Ulysses and Cassini-Huygens space probes. Artur Chmielewski. The lunar rover was invented and developed in Poland. Currently, Poland has invented equipment for examining the atmosphere of planets the size of a matchbox. NASA was shocked. But it was happy because they had a large box weighing several kilograms. And in space, every kilogram counts. The less mass the better. Another space genius is Dr. Alexander Nawrocki, who was the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Canada and NASA. Creator of the Java language.
The author of the video skipped through the 1980s and omitted quite important issues:
1. After martial law in 1981, Poland was subject to Western economic sanctions, which was one of the causes of the deep economic crisis in Poland. The communists tried to repair the sick economy, but for 8 years they failed, they led to 3-digit hyperinflation, and Poland practically became a bankrupt state.
2. In the Soviet Union, in 1985, Gorbachev became the leader, softening the regime inside the USSR and loosening control over the remaining Eastern Bloc countries.
3. Polish communists came up with the idea that they would share responsibility for the state with Solidarity, although officially Solidarity operated illegally. After several months of negotiations at the round table, an agreement was reached - Solidarity was legalized, allowed to publish newspapers and elections were announced in which 70% of the seats in parliament were reserved for communists, but Solidarity could fight with the communists for the remaining 30%.
4. Solidarity won ALL seats out of the available 30%, then attracted 2 small parties previously allied with communists to its side and in august 1989 formed the first non-communist Polish government in 60 years. The government in London had nothing directly to do with it, it only played a symbolic role in continuing an independent Poland for years after the war.
5. Gorbachev and the USSR did not take any steps against the non-communist Polish government, as they had done in the past - in 1956 in Hungary, in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, and in 1980/81 Soviets also threatened to intervene in Poland, but in the end the Polish communists were allowed to go on their own and they imposed martial law without the participation of the Soviets.
6. The lack of reaction from the USSR emboldened the oppositionists in the remaining Eastern Bloc countries - the non-communist opposition began to overthrow the communist governments in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and finally, in November 1989, the wall in Berlin was demolished.
Have you ever heard of Wojtek? One of the most famous Polish soldiers of WWII. Officially a private, after the battle of Monte Cassino promoted into coporal. Deserved his own monuments in London, Edinbourgh, Cassino, Kraków, Sopot and many other cities. Just a regular soldier: not only drinking beer and wine, smoking cigaretter, sitting by the campfire and in the free time doing some boxing and wrestling with the other guys, but also carrying heavy ammo boxes at the front line. Except that he was... a bear.. Yes, a syrian bear, vel Ursus arctos syriacus...
Before the murder of Jews began, over 3 million ethnic Poles were murdered. Let me remind you that the first extermination camp in occupied Poland was established in 1941. and Poles have been murdered since 1939 and not all Germans were tried for crimes, not all works of art were returned, in short, Poles were denied any reparations and we are still fighting for them today
Imagine, what if the other countries left Poles alone... Imagine the Europe like that.
Poland would be the greatest country in the world if left untouched
Don't forget to visit Wrocław. Is worth for
From 1945 to 1989 there are more than 30 years. The government in exile was elected continuously for 50 years, it is not the same government with the same people that emigrated in 1945 and returned in 1989.
When it comes to videos about Polish history on CZcams, I cannot hype enought 3 part series about „The Deluge” period on the channel „Eastory”. So much context and so easy to follow. Moreover, the videos aren’t overwhelming, about 10 minutes for each. Spectacular work.
Unfortunately, only a small percentage of German war criminals were convicted. Most enjoyed good health and respect until the end. The criminals responsible for massacres on cyviliand in Polish villages and cities, and doctors conducting experiments on Polish children. The Nazis had immense support among Germans during the war; if complete denazification were to be pursued, 1/3 of Germans would have ended up against the wall.
True! Up!
etween 1990, when Poland finally said goodbye to the centrally planned economy, and 2015 Poland's GDP per capita increased 7.3 times - from USD1,731 (in then current prices) to USD12,500.
In terms of the rate of growth, Poland beat all the states of the OECD and the whole of Europe. The country is ranked 13th in the global list based on the data of the World Bank. If limited to just the members of the OECD and European countries, Poland is closely followed by Slovakia, which has a slightly lower rate of growth, four spots below there is Chile, and the Czech Republic, where the per capita income increased four and a half fold, is only ranked 36th.
Some countries which for half a century shared Poland’s role as satellite states of the Soviet Union but then much longer clung to the mirage of alternative paths towards development other than free market economy with all its pros and cons (Bulgaria), or ones that squandered the relative “achievements” of so-called Goulash Communism (Hungary), have paid a very high price for their reluctance towards reforms. They lost time, resources, and people’s energy, achieving much less than Poland. In Bulgaria, the GDP per capita increased only three-fold, and in Hungary the increase was only slightly higher (3.7 times).
This channel is so underrated
Mirosław Hermaszewski - polski lotnik i kosmonauta, generał brygady pilot Wojska Polskiego. Pierwszy i jedyny w dotychczasowej historii Polak, który odbył lot w kosmos. Tak wiec POLAK juz byl w kosmocie!
Po pierwsze Polska była już w kosmosie.
Up.
@@inka1780 Ignoring legend of Twardowski, Polish cosmonaut Miroslaw Hermaszewski was send in space by Soviets in 1978. For that reason POLSA technically does have active astronaut capability. In fact soon another Pole may reach the stars. Not many people know, but Poland also has sprouting space rocket program.
Hymn Sybiraków - plisss you have to watch
Actually we were into space once. Sad we did it with Soviets. Now it is a time to do so by our ones. P.S. We were free before the Berlin Wall fall down. Soviet block dismantling started here in Poland and other communist countries (inducing East Germany) simply followed. The only reason foreigners think opposite is you may shot better pictures from breaking The Wall than from the first free elections ;)
A big press of "Polish antisemitism" (not all, there are real antisemitists) was made by 1968 emigration of Jews. To this moment there were two fractions of PZPR (Polish United Workers Party) - Polish and Jewish. As Jewish fraction lost, many of its members went to israel and Europe claiming that all the Poles are always antisemites.
One of the Polish priests, fr. Waldemar Chrostowski once met in Israel man, who - hearing Polish language - started attaking Polish tour with worst accusations. Chrostowski recognised in him one of the most active PZPR members.
Whom do they had to hate? A party, believed to be future of whole world - and communism? Or this nation...
2:44 We didn't forgive them. It took years for surviving witnesses of some of the atrocities to come forward and for evidence to be collected.
7:23 The leadership of the government in exile was passed on several times as the holders died. This led to some controversy as a guy named Juliusz Nowina-Sokolnicki claimed to have been assigned the presidency-in-exile against general consensus - and he himself, before he died, has supposedly passed his questionable claim to Jan Zbigniew Potocki. Suffice to say, these two were *characters* - think Sovereign Citizen types from USA except with some vague claim about presidency here.
not taken by eastern, poland was given to stalin by ours aliances
Was not retaken by force by ours allies - this is something very different. Soviet forces controlled Poland, Eastern Germany, Czechoslovakia and other countries, so nothing had to be given to them.
There is a joke that describes the history of Poland well: God spun the globe and placed countries on it... and said: ...and we will play a joke on Poland and put them between Germany and Russia :)
It is almost true... Difficult to write in some post onder film on YT. Let say, it is 'official' version.
small correction - soviets didn't join WW2 late, but became allies with the Allies in the late stages of the war. Soviet Union was one of the first countries to join the war itself
Russians were one of the first? After Poland, Belgium, Holland, France, Brittan, Norway just referring to the big ones? Soviets were attacked by Natzis where there was no man standing on the continental Europe. Sure it has been in 1941 just the 6 months before US - last major player in the II WW...
@@StanTheMan59 they entered the war as one of the first countries as they attacked Poland together with Germany.
@@GdzieJestNemo Well, true. Fourth one after Germany, Poland and Slovakia :)
That series is so oversimplified. Creator just got over martial law in few seconds. They skipped people's uprising 1038. They got over Grunwald in few second, de facto skipped entire period under parition, where they should mention major uprisings and development of Łódź. Imo it isn't good.
What is most sad .. that Poland didn't get any real reparations for 18% nation killed, and 60-80% country destroyed.
They escaped to Argentina and you forgot USA
I think we be must stop russia now next time history like back and back if this hapen remember what is Poland :)
Poland never got reparations from Germany and Russia for the sluther
It's what they saying but the truth is very different
yep, coward died in Argentina.
Jeśli chodzi o Hitlera to popełnił samobójstwo w jednym z polskich bunkrów . Przynajmniej z tego co mnie w szkole uczyli .
To chyba czegoś nie zrozumiałeś. Hitler wg oficjalnej wersji popełnił samobójstwo w bunkrze pod Reichstagiem w Berlinie. To raczej nie był polski bunkier.
Oficjalnie to w Berlińskim bunkrze się zastrzelił.
Ale na zwykły potrencznik do angjelskiego to już nie było czosu
@@ChceTok3nyA Ty nie miales czasu by kultury sie nauczyc. Moga sobie wlaczyc tlumacza.
nie, tchorz, nie byl nawet w stanie zginac honorowo- uciekl do Argentyny i tam zmarl. Sa relacje swiadkow, ktorzy go widzieli, dokumenty zaprzysiezone, zeznania. na YT po ang jest caly dokument o tym.
