  • Hello again! It seems like I have a knack for making videos about obscure topics on the 80th anniversary of certain events and this time it's for the Warsaw Uprising. Enjoy!
    Also there are Polish subtitles for this video!

    Sorry for the rushed nature of this video, I'm currently working on 3 longer videos as well as some quality-of-life changes for the channel including proper animation. I also didn't include an outro, so I'll put it here instead, Thanks for watching and have a great day! -Mr. G

    Fun fact: The Cobi set shown at the end is almost a decade old. But few weeks ago Cobi released a new Kubuś set (its alot better)

    Man, You did exceptionaly well on pronounciation, kudos to You! Also, fun fact: most of AK resistance fighters' aliases were simply other common birth names used to confuse Germans and it is so funny to hear about all those John aka "Steve" Smiths and Tom the "Bob" Whites :)

    In addition to the Cobi set shown at 7:20; for scale model builders, Mirage Hobby from Poland has a very good, (and very affordable,) 1/35th scale model available of this unique, but historically significant vehicle. This is a traditional, injection-molded styrene kit - not resin or 3D printed. Your video is excellent inspiration for anyone with this kit in their unbuilt stash!
    Thanks for doing the research and posting this for us!

    3:13 Correction. As seen in photos later in the video Kubuś has no rear hatch. It can only be accessed or exited via hatches in the bottom of the vehicle. The top one was for the gunner of DP-27 or PIAT. Hence the front shield.

    Blaming the Nazis is fair, but the Home Army would have had a much greater chance of success, if Stalin & the Soviets had not stopped his troops miles outside the city to “regroup” and supported them.

    • @ahmadsuleman9045
      @ahmadsuleman9045 Před 25 dny

      The reason that the Red Army didn't intervene in the Warsaw Uprising was because they believed the home Army was still loyal to the government in exile of the second polish republic rather than the pro Soviet polish government and so allowed the Germans to quell the uprising.
