also the Bf 110 at 2:00 is wrong. The belly MGs are late war. Also the Spitfires have their ailerons down which means they are fucked. Not flyable in that way. 10:24 the Flaps that should be down are inboard of the ailerons.
What a beautifully told story! I'm Polish and I teared up a bit when the video ended, but they were tears of joy. I've heard stories about the 303 for as long as I can remeber, but none of made me cry, that is until now. I fell so proud about being a Pole. Thank you.
Poland fought in the Battle of Britain but then they billed us. we paid in pounds for each slice of bread, uniform button, plane fuel and everything else. The total bill for those times was 133.000.000 ₤ !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, they were brave but they weren't fighting recklessly. They had totally different tactics than RAF and Luftwaffe. In september 1939 Poland had worst airplanes, they were much slower. Flying Hurricanes polish pilots had an opportunity to fly faster fighters. Technically, they took the advantage of that. The most famous Squadrons of polish pilots were: 302 and 303.
Poland is definitely one of the most fighting spirit countries with Bing war torn in World War II. They still stayed strong. Even with 40 to 1 odds against Nazi Germany they held out long enough to keep the retreat for other countrymen in the 3OH!3. What’s the most dominant squadron in the battle of Britain
A very shortened WWII Polish history lesson: (1) With their minds: Polish mathematical geniuses constructed the 1st enigma machine prototype and blueprint to breaking Germanys enigma code. (2) In The Air: Escaped Polish fighter pilots formed the 3 most effective fighter squadrons during the battle of Briton. The 3 top Polish squadrons were credited with both the highest number of confirmed kills, and kills per lost pilot. Including the legendary 303 Polish RAF squadron depicted so well in this video, the most decorated allies fighter squadron of WWII. (3) On the Ground: In Italy Polish soldiers lead four separate assaults before defeating the Germans in the battle of Monte Cassino. One of the wars most heavily fortified and fiercely defended strategic German strongholds, and one of the costliest resulting in over 55,000 allied casualties. Note: The Polish Army and Polish Air Force under British Command, fought in every WW2 major battle, including the Battle of Britain, Market Garden, Monte Cassino, El Alamein, and D-Day. (4) The saddest of endings: Despite the promises by both Churchill and Roosevelt, both met in secrete with Stalin and agreed let Stalin/USSR keep and occupy Poland. This decision led to decades of abuse and suffering of the whole Polish population up and until the fall of the Berlin wall. As a final insult, on Stalin's request to Churchill the WWII Polish surviving soldiers, pilots, and generals were denied participation in Great Briton's Victory Parade. Honorable mention: In 1940 JOZEF STANISLAW KOSACKI invented the Polish Mine Detector that saved countless Allied lives during the war. I'm getting pretty old now, but my grandparents barely escaped from Poland. Much of my knowledge was passed on to me though my grandfather and father, as nearly all family history and documents were destroyed in the war and later Russian occupation. Of course, this is a surface scratch level history above, but gives some incite and starting points for those who enjoy history research...
I am an English man and I am disgusted at the way the Polish were treated after the war, I am also disgusted that more, much more was not done to help them during the atrocities in the Warsaw ghetto. I am grateful for the fact that twice the Polish saved us from slavery, once from the Nazis and once at the gates of Vienna. For these reasons whenever I meet a polish man I shake his hand in gratitude for the selfless bravery of his forbears.
Holy crap, the facial quality, hair/head model is improving. Yarnhub, the drive to constantly improve is certainly noticed and it's very remarkable. Kudos to the whole animation crew, and everybody at Yarnhub.
I have the greatest respect and admiration for the heroes of Polish squadron 303. What they did , was incredibly brave! Thank you for your unbelievable service! We will never forget you! ❤❤❤
Poland fought in the Battle of Britain but then they billed us. we paid in pounds for each slice of bread, uniform button, plane fuel and everything else. The total bill for those times was 133.000.000 ₤ !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wrong- Poland was billed for the armaments sold to it prior to its defeat. No charge was made for any Polish pilot fighting in the RAF. This should not come as a surprise for the UK itself was still paying its military debts to the US, until after 2010, for equipment the US had provided. Nice try but a fail from another St Petersburg Orc.
My Great Great Uncle was actually a pilot which left Poland during the invasion, He rose up to the ranks of Squadron Leader in 303 Squadron, But unfortunately he was shot down in 1942 over the English channel. His name was Jerzy Jankiewicz, Thanks for making this video.
Glorious and very moving story, thank you. I've always held 303 squadron in the same esteem as Douglas Bader's 242 squadron however 303 squadron's story is so inspiring that they'll always hold a unique place in the story of the battle of Britain. May we never forget the sacrifice these brave men made.
IN THE SKIES ABOVE THE ISLE, ACES IN EXILE PREVAAAAAAILLLL This is by far the greatest video you've done for so many years, you've been constantly improving video after video, stories got more interesting and gave attention to unheard stories of the war. I have been your most favourite history channel and I will proudly to watch more of your videos for years to come.
as a Pole im very excited and grateful that you decided to make a video about our most famous ww2 unit! maybe you can make another one about 1st Polish armored division under general Maczek?
I would love to see that. I'm from a city in the Netherlands which they liberated (famously without allied casualties), having a statue commemorating them next to my old highschool (of the Polish eagle killing the German one). The Polish contribution is not forgotten.
Poland again through tenacity, Valor, heroism, and sheer guts saves the day. As they did in 1683 and beyond. Poles have stood as the anchor of a free Europe and have never flinched. Yarnhub, you are truly a teacher of history. Again, we can not say Thank- you enough to you and our brave Polish allies.
And for all their heroism and all their sacrifice, the "Allies" sold them to the soviets for 30 pieces of silver. "Never have so many been betrayed by so few for so little". May God forgive us.
Tell of 303rd, Fighter pilots from Poland in the Battle of Britain, guarding the skies if the isle... Great animation, thank you for honoring these heroes!
I'd like to personally thank our Polish allies for defending my country. You made it so the UK could fight another day "Never before have we owed so much by so many, to so few" 🇬🇧🇵🇱
I met one of the pilots in the 1990's. He was working as a gardener on occasion for my partners Dad in Forres Scotland. My partner had told me he'd been in the RAF. So, I walked up to him saying 'I heard you were in the RAF in the War.' 'Yes a fighter pilot.' I did the only thing I could think of.....stood up straight properly saluted him, shook his hand then said THANK-YOU. We had a little chat, but when Edith and me went to drive off he came around the house to wave goodbye........I wondered if anyone else had ever thanked him.
Two things : 1. Wow. The 303rd, just like any other squadron during the war, were legends. The polish version of the Red Baron but formed into a squadron. 2. Congratulations on reaching 630K subscribers, here is to another 300 thousand. 🎉🎉
Fun fact, Manfred Von Richtofen, The Baron was born in what is now Wrocław Poland. So technically its not a Polish version of the baron, its ANOTHER Red Baron
I used to live at RAF Northolt, Used to walk past the memorial there to them all the time. I've always known about these brave men and give them ultimate respect.
This production quality is absolutely insane. The yarnhub team should be incredibly proud of themselves. I’ve yet to find any other channel that is able to bring such extraordinary detail to these war stories. Kudos Yarnhub.
Near the end of the war my dad was in the rear turret of a 61 Squadron Lancaster. It was the only op my dad mentioned and he said they were attacked by ME262's. A Lancaster from his Squadron was shot down and one from 50 Squadron too. But escorting Mustangs shot down four of the jets. It wasn't till only a few years ago and many years after my dad passed away that I found out the Mustangs were from 309 and 315 Polish Squadrons. Knocking down 4 of those jets is good going and has been forgotten by history. On that same op 617 Squadron dropped 2 22,000lb earthquake bombs as well tallboys. My dad never mentioned that either
For the first time I get to be the person with a personal connection to one of these sorts of videos. My grand father was a Medical Officer in 303 Squadron having moved to England from Poland early in the war. Sadly he passed when I was very young so I never had an opportunity to get to know him and ask about his experiences.
Really interesting video as always. The quality of the animation is next level, awesome to see how far you've come! Love that it still feels unique to your style too.
Love the number 303. Significant both because of the number of this squadron and the .303 Lee-Enfield round. Also love it when there are a group of folks who, even to other allies are considered "foreign" and folks may be hesitant to accept them. But then the succeed in spite of any doubts. Reminds me a bit of the mostly-Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team who ended up being the most decorated US Army unit of the war.
My flight school teacher is actually Polish and he told us that his uncle flew Mosquitoes in the 303 Squadron, he didn't tell us anything more about that but it's awesome to see a video made on it. Btw the characters look amazingly detailed, and I can hear Advance Australia in the background.
No, just 60 polish kills out of 1883 luftwaffe and 10 Italian losses, so nowhere near decisive, or giving the slim margin of victory so often parroted. Don't believe all the crap taught to you back in Poland.
Seeing Yarmhubs animations from the start of their channel to now is amazing its nice to see a channel that doesn't just keep doing their craft but actually work to improve it going above and beyond just like the events in their videos
My late Mother served with 303 Squadron as a WAAF in WW2. She told me they were the Maddest & Most Committed 'Gentlemen'. Any 303 Squadron follower should read the book 'For Your Freedom And Ours'.
Wow the graphics are more realistic than ever before! Even the textures of their faces seem unimaginably rendered beautifully. Kudos Yarnhub for these marvelous improvements!
The Battle of Britain is one of my favorite topics of WW2 that I have researched. Also great touch with adding the music from the final battle of the movie Battle of Britain, and War Thunder's Soviet Union Victory Theme.
Technological progress and personal growth, sir. New Unreal Engine alone is really a thing.But if you combine it with skill development you have breathtaking outcome.
As a reward, Poles were not allowed to participate in the Victory Parade. Polish airmen were standing somewhere among the crowd of civilians and crying. I was reading memories of one of them about those moments....
Fighter pilots in exile, flying from foreign land! When the story's been heard, tell of 303rd! Fighter pilots from Poland, in the Battle of Britain, guarding the skies of the Isle!
One documentary called The Bloody Foreigners by National Geographic tells the story. By the way, superb animation! Thank you for your hard work to honour heroes.
I've noticed that the characters (I'll say generally) have been improved once again by your team. It looks very good and I'm very impressed! I've been watching all of your videos as soon as I can and the growth I've seen is beyond excellence. I am very proud of you guys and I hope that you all are doing wonderful. Your work is always impressive and appreciated by me. Watching channels grow and improve make me happy, stay safe, and for the sake of the seasons rounding the corner, happy holidays to all of us!
These new graphics are amazing I love how the land can be seen when regularly the sky was the only thing visible and the new hair and new realistic models are just absolutely amazing
Loved the video! You all are getting better and the details are becoming more refined! Thank you for making today even better than it was as today was my birthday!❤️❤️🎂
The graphics in this one are insanely good! The faces, expressions, lighting, scenery... seriously, top top TOP job well done! Definitely Sandwich's Seal Of Aproval! :)
Out of the one thousand channels I am subscribed too. You guys are by far my favorite. The quality and storytelling of these videos is incredible. You deserve way more attention. And you're getting new people into history by talking about these amazing men and women
05:25 If I recall correctly, 303's first kill was a BF-110, not Bf-109. Also, You missed on Josef Frantisek, a Czech and Honorary Pole in 303, and it's Ace of Aces during battle of Britain.
To clarify first actual kill while a none operational Squadron was a BF110 (This was claimed as a Dornier DO17 in the pilot's combat report) first operational kill was a BF109. Good call with Frantisek he certainly deserves a mention although the Poles let him do his own thing as he was a bit of a lone wolf and a very successful one in terms of his victory tally. Dowding's " There is good shooting.....within sight of London " was aimed at Frantisek and some other Battle of Britain pilots as he often followed German aircraft over the Channel either towards or to France. Sadly that cost him his life.....nor was he the only Battle of Britain pilot to die that way.
Beyond amazing, wonderful, and emotionally lovely for such a channel to tell us things we would never really have hear in our history books is absolutely amazing
10:20 I felt what the man's feeling...😔 In the morning before the mission, both of you were still drinking a cup of coffee, but in the middle of the night. You're only see his cap without his body beside you. Comrades, rest in peace...
I was actually quite pleased that you mentioned the figure of 126 is likely too much of an exaggeration; it just doesn’t tally with anything else, not even 302 squadron, also Polish, whose numbers tally with other aerial units. Nonetheless, they did an amazing job. No matter who tallies it, 303 usually end up in the top five, which is quite something.
I have been enjoying YarnHub since the beginning. With this amazing video covering the heroic contributions of the Polish Airmen of the 303rd, we have witnessed the next evolution in their incredible animation. Absolutely fantastic videos and they just keep getting better. The emotions not only in the faces of the characters but in their eyes adds another layer to already deep and informative content. I would be lying if I said the majority of YarnHub videos didn't make me tear up with pride, joy or grief.

Poland fought in the Battle of Britain but then they billed us.

The total bill for those times was 133.000.000 ₤ !!!!!!!!!!!!!
That subtle addition of the old War Thunder theme was very well played. Nostalgia floods me whenever I hear it. Good work Yarnhub!
When I heard the WT soundtrack, I thought I had heard something incorrectly. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed
I knew I recognized it!
So I'm not the only one, neat!
Same here I’m like hold on 😂 very good add by yarnhub
I was just about to comment about it
As they lost their own homeland they made sure not to lose their adopted homeland. Such brave heroes of the skies
Yes, they were brave but they weren't fighting recklessly. They had totally different tactics than RAF and Luftwaffe. In september 1939 Poland had worst airplanes, they were much slower. Flying Hurricanes polish pilots had an opportunity to fly faster fighters. Technically, they took the advantage of that. The most famous Squadrons of polish pilots were: 302 and 303.
Poland is definitely one of the most fighting spirit countries with Bing war torn in World War II. They still stayed strong. Even with 40 to 1 odds against Nazi Germany they held out long enough to keep the retreat for other countrymen in the 3OH!3. What’s the most dominant squadron in the battle of Britain
It’s cool seeing Yarnhub’s animation and attention to detail get better
its true looks great
It's only the premire and its amazing
Aye it got better
@The Historian of 45 Fr?
A very shortened WWII Polish history lesson:
(1) With their minds: Polish mathematical geniuses constructed the 1st enigma machine prototype and blueprint to breaking Germanys enigma code.
(2) In The Air: Escaped Polish fighter pilots formed the 3 most effective fighter squadrons during the battle of Briton. The 3 top Polish squadrons were credited with both the highest number of confirmed kills, and kills per lost pilot.
Including the legendary 303 Polish RAF squadron depicted so well in this video, the most decorated allies fighter squadron of WWII.
(3) On the Ground: In Italy Polish soldiers lead four separate assaults before defeating the Germans in the battle of Monte Cassino. One of the wars most heavily fortified and fiercely defended strategic German strongholds, and one of the costliest resulting in over 55,000 allied casualties.
Note: The Polish Army and Polish Air Force under British Command, fought in every WW2 major battle, including the Battle of Britain, Market Garden, Monte Cassino, El Alamein, and D-Day.
(4) The saddest of endings: Despite the promises by both Churchill and Roosevelt, both met in secrete with Stalin and agreed let Stalin/USSR keep and occupy Poland. This decision led to decades of abuse and suffering of the whole Polish population up and until the fall of the Berlin wall.
As a final insult, on Stalin's request to Churchill the WWII Polish surviving soldiers, pilots, and generals were denied participation in Great Briton's Victory Parade.
Honorable mention: In 1940 JOZEF STANISLAW KOSACKI invented the Polish Mine Detector that saved countless Allied lives during the war.
I'm getting pretty old now, but my grandparents barely escaped from Poland. Much of my knowledge was passed on to me though my grandfather and father, as nearly all family history and documents were destroyed in the war and later Russian occupation.

Started out with your video of the 21 Sikh and now I'm addicted to your channel. Thank you for producing such amazing content for all of us to enjoy!
The quality of the character models really blew my mind. The hair especially
yeah they really step it up on the hair and uniform department
I noticed too
I absolutely love the quality of these pieces of history recounting
Thanks for teaching us about the heros of Poland. Great video!
Wow the graphics are more realistic than ever before! Even the textures of their faces seem unimaginably rendered beautifully. Kudos Yarnhub for these marvelous improvements!
The Battle of Britain is one of my favorite topics of WW2 that I have researched. Also great touch with adding the music from the final battle of the movie Battle of Britain, and War Thunder's Soviet Union Victory Theme.
SOME ELSE REALIZED LES GO
@@dino4688 did you also hear a hint of Jurassic Park after the WT theme?
Once I saw “303”, I knew what to expect. Absolutely ruthless and amazing pilots 🔥🔥🔥
The animation just keeps getting better and better the facial expressions are incredible
This story was part of the 1960’s epic ‘The battle of Britain’
Holy! The people look so much better than before! What did you do? You guys never fail to amaze me with your nonstop improvement. Just how?
Technological progress and personal growth, sir. New Unreal Engine alone is really a thing.But if you combine it with skill development you have breathtaking outcome.
As a reward, Poles were not allowed to participate in the Victory Parade. Polish airmen were standing somewhere among the crowd of civilians and crying. I was reading memories of one of them about those moments....
The same old incorrect BS parrotted again and again.
Fighter pilots in exile, flying from foreign land! When the story's been heard, tell of 303rd! Fighter pilots from Poland, in the Battle of Britain, guarding the skies of the Isle!
One documentary called The Bloody Foreigners by National Geographic tells the story.
By the way, superb animation!
Thank you for your hard work to honour heroes.
No its just more bs and disinformation, spinning facts and statistics, and telling an incomplete narrative to big up the Polish.
I've watched that documentary many many many times
I've noticed that the characters (I'll say generally) have been improved once again by your team. It looks very good and I'm very impressed! I've been watching all of your videos as soon as I can and the growth I've seen is beyond excellence. I am very proud of you guys and I hope that you all are doing wonderful. Your work is always impressive and appreciated by me. Watching channels grow and improve make me happy, stay safe, and for the sake of the seasons rounding the corner, happy holidays to all of us!
These new graphics are amazing I love how the land can be seen when regularly the sky was the only thing visible and the new hair and new realistic models are just absolutely amazing
Loved the video! You all are getting better and the details are becoming more refined! Thank you for making today even better than it was as today was my birthday!❤️❤️🎂
Happy Birthday !
@@Yarnhub Thank you!!!
Great Job Yarnhub, i love it!
The graphics in this one are insanely good! The faces, expressions, lighting, scenery... seriously, top top TOP job well done!
Definitely Sandwich's Seal Of Aproval! :)
Out of the one thousand channels I am subscribed too. You guys are by far my favorite. The quality and storytelling of these videos is incredible. You deserve way more attention. And you're getting new people into history by talking about these amazing men and women
A Thousand channels?!?!?!?! How in the world do you ever get to watch everything!?!?!?! I have like 20 scrips and I cant even follow all of those!!!
05:25 If I recall correctly, 303's first kill was a BF-110, not Bf-109.
Also, You missed on Josef Frantisek, a Czech and Honorary Pole in 303, and it's Ace of Aces during battle of Britain.
To clarify first actual kill while a none operational Squadron was a BF110 (This was claimed as a Dornier DO17 in the pilot's combat report) first operational kill was a BF109. Good call with Frantisek he certainly deserves a mention although the Poles let him do his own thing as he was a bit of a lone wolf and a very successful one in terms of his victory tally. Dowding's " There is good shooting.....within sight of London " was aimed at Frantisek and some other Battle of Britain pilots as he often followed German aircraft over the Channel either towards or to France. Sadly that cost him his life.....nor was he the only Battle of Britain pilot to die that way.
Beyond amazing, wonderful, and emotionally lovely for such a channel to tell us things we would never really have hear in our history books is absolutely amazing
thanks for covering the 303 squadron. here inpoland theyre called ''the dangels of revenge'', heroes to us all. once again thanks yarnhub
Every other Friday is the best Friday because of this channel. Thank you for the entertaining and educative videos, Yarnhub team.
The new faces look incredible, as always great job Yarnhub! Love your videos
10:20 I felt what the man's feeling...😔
In the morning before the mission, both of you were still drinking a cup of coffee, but in the middle of the night. You're only see his cap without his body beside you.
Comrades, rest in peace...
He just gets better and better at animating its amazing. For things like this I'm willing to wait 3 months each
I was actually quite pleased that you mentioned the figure of 126 is likely too much of an exaggeration; it just doesn’t tally with anything else, not even 302 squadron, also Polish, whose numbers tally with other aerial units.
Nonetheless, they did an amazing job. No matter who tallies it, 303 usually end up in the top five, which is quite something.
Thanks for finally making video about our
Polish squadron.
Great to see a tribute the brave Poles!
Holy crap. This is the most realistic looking video Yarnhub has made so far
WHAT A VIDEO! thank you guys. All of you! What a fantastic and informative video and just WOW.
This channel is a criminally under-subbed gem. Period.
I have been enjoying YarnHub since the beginning. With this amazing video covering the heroic contributions of the Polish Airmen of the 303rd, we have witnessed the next evolution in their incredible animation.
Absolutely fantastic videos and they just keep getting better. The emotions not only in the faces of the characters but in their eyes adds another layer to already deep and informative content.
I would be lying if I said the majority of YarnHub videos didn't make me tear up with pride, joy or grief.
Thanks for the kind words
Jesus Christ the CGI is so realistic! Also in 0:45 I hear war thunder music
Huzzah for Yarnhub! Y’alls did great on these models and action sequences on the 303! Long live Poland!
Wow, the graphics, story telling and animation is just getting better and better. Keep up the amazing work guys!

What a absolute upgrade of videos, excellent!
So much improvement. I love it. Great job Yarnhub team.
Yarnhub, I wish to thank you about talking about my home town Northolt, it was a surprise, I even go air cadets there. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A truly epic video, always love to see this channel pumping out quality animation after animation, each video never failing to intrigue and fascinate me, well done, Yarnhub
The bravery of the men that thought those days will always be in our hearts and as a proud Canadian it is good to learn more of the struggles of everyone in the World War II and of there Valor
