Preparing for Invasion: Poland's Paramilitary Weekend Warriors
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 08. 2015
- Independent paramilitary groups have a long tradition in Poland. Since Russia moved into Ukraine, these groups have seen membership triple to about 80,000. By comparison, the Polish Armed Forces are 120,000 soldiers strong.
VICE Germany visited their neighbor to find out more about these independent militias. Polish paramilitary groups have training and patriotism on par with the Polish army. We accompany trainers, weekend warriors and the so-called uniform students to see how Poland is prepared to defend itself from invasion.

So there is a country where patriotism is not confused with nazism? I wish my country would be like that..
Ever heard of the US?
Bart Whydoyoucare Used to be?
Charles de gaulle quote. Patriots love their country, nationalists hates everyone else.
That;s wrong, most young Poles are in fact nationalist as this is an idea of loving your country, knowing what are your values and remembering the history. Being a nationalist is a beautiful thing, but because of the leftist propaganda, brainwashed people think that nationalism is basically racism!
34makkoli No, you idiot. Patriotism is loving your country.
Nationalism is loving your country and hating everyone else.

I have a lot of respect for Poland! It's a strong and advanced country that has not yet lost its national pride. Greetings from the USA.
JacksAbschaum holy hell can you go way you Islamist
More importantly, it is a democracy and a free and capitalist society.
I don't think the polish will ever lose national pride, they've been through so much just the last 100-150 years and the fact they're still sovereign and thriving is a testament to they're strength
We are not a strong country :/
@@davecommentery6416 strength takes many forms. The fact that the polish nation CAN have decentralized, fully armed company sized units of combat troops without falling into civil war or internal strife places it above many nations. Call it nationalism, pride, history, or whatever you wish. Poland is a structure with a most firm foundation. Respect.
The more i learn about Poland, the more i love how badass it is.

The current government is extremely right wing but definitely not Nazi. Poland hates Nazis
Dziobak productions It is more like they are right wing ideologically but it deals out benefits like leftists
It deals out benefits to get reelected
Germany: Civilian can't be trusted with guns. (no non-state paramilitaries)
Poland: All men must defend there home land. (80,000 non-state paramilitary members)
Poland is the least armed country in Europe. It is almost immposible to meet someone who have a gun and isn't policeman.
but it is possible to have guns nonetheless
@@prkp7248 do not underestimate hidden post ww2 weapons that people still have, in my large family (many AK mambers) we have mg-42, mg-34, 3x mp-40 and some pistols, problem is amunitionbut it can be found or bought on black market
I mean Poland as a country has a very rough history so it's understandable they want to protect themselves as much as possible
@@prkp7248 during the soviet rule in poland everyone and their grandma had a handgun and a few grenades also if you wanted to you could buy a Panzerschreck for the low low price of about $20
When you have Germany on one side and Russia on the other, what other choice do you have?
I agree, too much Christianity there.
Germany has no balls anymore. It’s castrated.
Germany on the other? you mean your ally that sells you arms dip shit.
Star Child he’s talking about ww1/2, when you pussies invaded Poland from the left when Russia invaded it from the right. There is a reason Germany is the armpit of Europe to this day, EU trash lol.
germany? its an ally
18:48 I'm not sure that people from the other country like Poland understood joke about "21 square feet of land". In other words, I think he should say (or translate his words) "they can get 6 feet underground"
solara2 or an ideal place for a grave :)
@VenoX 21 square FEET not meters
He said 2 square meters (translation was not good) , it is the size of a grave. The same sence like 6 feet under.
translation was wrong at times. hope they never cross Polish border. no one wants WW3.
Well Russia has been playing cat and mouse with us over the Antarctica border it's time we teach them who their fucking with just like we did in ww2
***** Russia was part of the allies. "We" Never taught them anything. If anything If the US and Britain didn't Invade France and liberate western Europe before the Reds Everyone would be learning Russian and Flying the Red flag. The Soviet Union dominated WWII after the battles of Stalingrad and Kurks.
Umm yeah and? I'm claiming Russia is trying to spark up the cold war. They've been trying to get Antarctica oil 2hich has 30-40% of the world supply that were holding for when our wells are tapped dry.
***** don't get me wrong, i would love to see the US trump all over Russia, i'm Ukrainian myself and we are soo pissed at them, but dude, learn some history, - whatever happened in WWII was anything *but* americans teaching ussr "who they are fucking with". that's just ridiculous.
***** Hahahaha Fool! Antartica has no bountiful amount of oil. Besides the very little reserves it could have do not belong to any country. Russia and the US can not claim what doesn't belong to them. Besides there is no solid evidence that there are reserves plentiful enough to even be worth tapping.

I mean... there’s some truth to that. Poland is poor and immigration to other parts of Europe frequent. In fact, there’s even some anti Polish sentiment in the UK. (They were the immigrants of the week before the Syrian War)
@@dantecaputo2629 They're not poor. They're actually much preferable to some parts of Europe. Poland commonly receives migrant workers from poorer countries such as Ukraine and Belarus. Yes, it is true they're not as rich as Switzerland or Germany, but they're far from poor and much preferable to some parts of Europe. The low immigration is due to their strict policies on it. As much as I love Poland, they're pretty far-right and practically controlled by the church. It is sad, but such is life. I respect your opinion, though, as you're entitled to such.

Great to see our Polish allies training well and that their government is supporting their efforts. America will always stand with you and support you in all aspects. Don't worry that our main bases are in Germany. Our forces are heavily ladened within Poland to help guarantee what has happened in the past, will never happen again.

Jaey Bob You're completely uneducated on the relationship between the US and PL. We have been a strong ally since WW2. We promised them we would never leave their side and never have since.
Brian Streufert The Western Allied powers decided to leave Poland to Russian occupation after WW2. While Germany and Russia had started WW2 by invading Poland in the first place. I wouldn't call that the act of a "strong ally".
Well i live in Poland And my commentary is: This is bull shit and everything in this clip has ben chosen and prepared to fit narrators story not real facts and situation in my country.
This should be no way viewed as documentary. As in any country you will find many groups and people interested in military and survival skils. Maker of this clip used presence of this grups and people to push his own narrative of country preparing for a war. You could do this everywere speaking only to military entusiasts and nut jobs. This is not in any way representative of general situation and opinions of general public. I consider this crime against hones documentaries. Its just a prefabricated lie.

Kraina poziomkowych krokodyli vice does this a lot with their military documentaries,they need to make their job somehow, a lot of stuff they say isnt as extreme as people may think

Kraina poziomkowych krokodyli Good to hear. I am Russian, but some of my realtives are Polish, and always when I come to them I didn't see any retards talking about war with Russia.

MoonZooman I have no problem with some of the muslims as a Pole I've met a few of them in a lifetime and being frank they weren't that bad in person and regular chat however their downright outrageous beliefs if comes to religion pretty well scare me. You can speak of little fish in the sea but no kidding it's no use we can't live both in a one pond their religion has dominative nature and incites infridgement and agressiveness while we try to live a calm life or at least don't stir religion with secular things like war and bussiness
Oshinosh Oshinosh i got a herpes on my lips after i ate a lemon, so maybe she ate something sour and got an allergic reaction
MoonZooman Polish Tatars are muslims nad and went to Poland few hundreds years ago. And fight for Poland independent. So you are ignorant.
As an American as long as Poland does not go to an extremist edge, I would be willing to fight with them since we never repaid the debts that Kazimierz Puaski, and Tadeusz Kosciusko earned in fighting for our freedom.
We hate Nazi and Commy so we can't go to an extremist edge ;)
Check this out. It's about winter edition of Combat Aletrt training. Pro-Defence paramilitary groups traing with same unit that EFP Poland works with. czcams.com/video/iRVD2mGSBJE/video.html

Andrew, you did payed your debt in 1920. Read about American Pilots during Polish-Soviet war :)
@@piotrfalkowski5217 if you hate nazis so much, why do so many Poles descriminate against homosexuals in the same way that the nazis did.
@@broodjeal-cohol5033 Better check in which country in the past homosexuality was penalized by jail or death, than came back - in Poland never. They just need use different ways to gain some rights, than antagonizing everyone else. They need to goal for compromise than wining everything they want. Rule of minority is Dictatorship not Democracy.
Poland - the nation of warriors; very impressive to be honest. It is even more impressive to see Polish women be part of self-defense forces. I can see a bright future for this country on many fronts: geopolitically, economically, and socially where neo-Marxist ideologies of the West find it hard to penetrate Polish societies unlike Germans, Dutch, Spanish, and French, not to mention Scandinavia.
Poland, thanks for halting the Ottomans outside Vienna in 1683 and for stopping the Soviets in 1920.
JacksAbschaum what is wrong with you?
And was wrong to say thx for this two great victories - both of them was extremely important and significant for European history.
KarsonNow especially when we pretend to not remember that it was Poland who actually started 1919-1921 war. Sure, many thanks for 80k POWs slaughtered.
Thank them also for blowing up 1/8 of all Nazi trains heading to the Russian front. This was after they were forced "underground" by the initial Nazi invasion. They never quit. They just did what they had to do to stay "Poland". They were also the first East Bloc country to recover after the Soviet Union collapsed. Hopefully they've learned a thing or two about being ready for invasion. It could happen again from either direction.
But 1939 was a different story

I would doubt the importance, significance or the right of people creating these kinds of organizations in any other country, but not in Poland. In Poland, this just seems 100% right and reasonable to me.
Any country bordering the Russia should embrace these ways.
It's surprising that a German comments on defence history of Poland, Germans who cut and sliced Polish people for over thousands years in brutal attacks, the most recent of them WW1 & WW2. Poland is proud of its military history because it had to defend itself from its enemies, that's why fighting for freedom is in Polish blood, that's why they still exist as a nation.
Respect Poland, greetings from Latvia
How about lets stop a war before it'll happen?
Oskar Schindler None of politicians need that :/ In Poland and Baltics those threats of war are probably useful to people connected to military budget and defence money so they wouldn't want to lost them, and preparing for war is great way to increace their income. In Russia our government also likes to behave like "Don't you know that NATO is close? Now those who are against governemnt are probably traitors, you should support us or USA will come". Great, I know that NATO is close and don't like that fact, but this is no reason to ignore behavior of our government, for now they are more threat to Russia than any USA. So, assholes everywere :/ I just hope it iwll not turn to anything serious. Remember WW1? It also started because of some unimportant shit.
Oskar Schindler And, how exactly are we supposed to stop wars from happening? As long as evil exists in the hearts of men, war is bound to happen sooner or later.
Good luck trying to get Putin to listen. People forget he invaded Georgia in 2008 and took territory there for himself also. He won't stop.
ReformedChip UN-army which will react to any conflict and restore peace by killing everybody who is a non un-soldier carrying a gun. We also would have to ban national and private armies as they wouldn't serve an innocent purpose.
Maximus Meridius Putin runs a fascist dictatorship that closely resembles national socialism. Funny to hear his thugs call everyone else Nazis.
Good job! That's why I respect Poland!
Poland can have paramilitary because they dont think like my fellow romanian compatriots do. Here in Romania peoples in majority think something like: "ohh we dont wanna get caught in the middle of corrupted politician's wars, we dont wanna fight for others" and it's pathetic coz they also wanna have peace... and we have the same troubled history as Polish peoples had, especially with russians. Too bad we no longer share border like we did until Ribbentrop-Molotov agreement. We even used to have common military drills back in the 30s preparing because we were affraid of USSR.. Offcourse that didnt helped us much but at least today we can be sure the West learned some lessons from history and they will help us to resist. We gotta admit it without our allies we cannot survive. We can fight thats true and polish patriotism can assure the enemy that invasion will be a very painful experience. I'm pretty sure of that. ;)
respect to Poland from Romania!
THX
we had it in 90's.. the bullshit neolefties postcommunists, wanted polish people to be passive... so they could do whatever they wanted... people without fighting attitude... will never fight for their rights!!!! or defend themselves

As far as I know Romanians and Hungarians are Our biggest allies. I know They don't like each other. At least both of Them like Us.
Poland remembers foreign occupation...never forget. Teach your children what it was like during and after WW2...
Poland is underrated and underappreciated in many things like defending Europe in Vienna from Ottomans and from Soviets in 1920s, and tourism because it has rich culture and beautiful cities

We need this in greece too.
Also notice how Poles don't keep their women weak and vulnerable, like Westerners do. This is why we don't have feminism in Poland. Our women are, and always were, allowed to have the dignity of self defense. If you want to be a nation of warriors and keep half of your population unarmed and weak, then you are doing it wrong. Polish women fight along with Polish men.

Not really
Feminist fight because they want equality, if someone.
In Poland, no one will judge for what they do or think or say.
Because we have Scythian traditions. Scythian women were equally legal warriors
These guys are so inspiring. It is really nice to see Polish really care about their country. But I think the process is cumbersome and expensive. It would be cheaper if they just learn how to make IED and explosive traps. When you will fight major power like Russia( or any other power that are stronger than yours) . Asymmetric warfare is the best. As we have seen in Afghanistan, Eroq and Sham. IED, sabotage and kidnapping is way to go. Low budget, not too hassle to learn but delivers strategic impact to the outcome of the war.
Polish army is still using Soviet Era equipment (BMP-1, T-72) and this is major problem of polish military.
bambang303378 Russia isn’t even far off Poland
I disagree in teaching asymmetric warfare methods to paramilitary reserve forces in peacetimes. Those methods should be reserved to Military professionals that will teach those guerilla methods to militias in war times. I believe that having the Para forces exercising in their home territory(as shown in the episode) is a better way.
Trends to keep Car bomb incidents down.
Mine Warfare is good , but not on own territory. Best bet is to oppose any invasion at the start so you not end up occupied or in prolong conflict with just add to your countrymen suffering.
This is some pretty high quality paramilitary. This would probably kick american paramilitarys forces ass. Respect from the USA Poland.
As an American, I see exactly the same convictions as these men and women, America needs to invest more into Poland and Eastern Europe

Bòg, Honor, Ojczyzna!
What would you expect from a German leftist propaganda outlet? The purpose of this film is to make these people look like paranoid warmongers, not patriots.
War is stupid and the Germans can see that you don't need to larp as a nazi anymore to prove your manliness.
Germans are standing critical to their country, the reflect on the past and on the bad things they did to many countries for example your country Poland. Me as a German who had nothing to do with ww2 can't be proud of his country, in a way other countries could, because too much patriotism isn't helping anyone. And comparing your Army against the German Army in strenght and gear is so stupid. The polish goverment buys a lot of vehicles and Weponds like the Leopard 2 from Germany. (Just look in the Video, the 2 girls playing in it). We as Europe should rather stay together, because those countrys alone aren't strong.
@Krawczon Actually Germans were trying to unite Europe in WW1 ad WW2. no one was really happy about it ;)
@Krawczon I just read that from some German guy on another vid. Chill, learn tech, modernize Poland as much as you can :)
Greetings to Poland from your neighboring country Lithuania, as a citizen of Lithuania i wish we fight together as one against possible agression from the east. We're not enemies, we are brothers and as we march together enemy's getting fuck all!!!
Honestly i would love to have something like that in Germany... i'm grateful for what you polish people doing and i hope the next war will let us fight together side on side.... greetings from Germany.
Just like in 1410, 1700's, 1800's, and 1939-45?
+Jan Kubiak get ur dress
Lianus89HB what?
+Marcin Dobrowolski Amen Brother
Danke. ;)
To our Polish Brothers in Arms from Texas...Niech żyje Polska!
damn. makes me wish i was polish. Would love to do that type of training excercises
Looks like the polish are doing something right.
I like how everyone says that Russia has got bigger ARMY than Poland, but they don't count Polish MEN that will fight against the attacker no matter the price, no matter the strenght of the attacker.
+Mr. Grenade (Pan Granat) Russia DOES have bigger army, thing is they can not afforf to direct all of it at Poland, most of it is sitting at Russian-Chinese border actually, business is business but security comes first
Yeah I doubt the Russian army will ever cross into Poland unless attacked first by Nato..
+Eric Cartmen they never been allies since 1991. When Russia was apart of the soviet union the soviets cut ties with china in the 60's because of border disputes.
+Eric Cartmen there was actually a small battle between Soviets and China in 60's because of a border dispute. It would have been interesting if the 2 top communist nations at the time went to war with each other. I don't think china had nukes in the early 60's, so Soviets have a nuclear advantage.
of course. fight drones, jets, artillery and tanks with forks XD they will be nice cannon fodder just like Volkssturm in WW II
love Poland from Iran ;)
Poles have pride! Nothing wrong with nationalism.
*patriotism is love for your country nationalism is hate for other countries

TheFlamingTrain The translation was terrible, but the speakers weren't great either. Some statements were transformed in such a way that they seemed to be a lot more sophisticated, while most of the speakers were very simple people who very emotionally talked about their passions.
TheFlamingTrain
That wasn't the only blunder in their translation, but that is to be expected from someone who translates from one foreign language to another and isn't *really* good at both of those languages. In this case... let's just say, even I saw how silly those mistakes were and English is my third language, that's some indication.
***** Couldn't you join the US reserves?
I hope we get this in the Netherlands. Right now, there's no conscription and the military is not even half the size of the Polish paramilitaries. That way we can improve our defence forces and patriottism, and it would be handy for people who want to do their part but who don't have time to Join the regular army, because of their jobs or studies.
EVERYBODY in Poland who has clear criminal record and is psychically sane can own and carry a gun. Of course, you need a firearms licence. But when you are not a recorded criminal and not a recorded mental disorder patient or recorded drug or alcohol addicted person - you get the license WHENEVER YOU WANT. The main and significant diference is that in all other european states the authorities CAN (but in no way have to) give you a firearms licence and in Poland the authorities HAVE TO, THEY ARE OBLIGED BY LAW TO give you the firearms licence - if only you want to. This is a very significant diference. Sport firearms licence, collectors firearms licence, hunting firearms licence - whatever you want. And you can own and carry WHATEVER YOU WANT. Semi-auto AK, semi-auto AR, 30-rounds magazines, 75-rounds magazines, belt feded guns, shotguns with shortened barels - whatever you like and can afford to you. No restriction at all. The only one quasi restriction is about the full-auto guns, but it is also possible to get a licence for them, only it is much much more expensive and costs much much more efforts (like for example having an extra weapons storage building. But if you really want, you can). All muzzle loaders, for example six-shooters revolvers like Colt or Remington cal. .44 so the muzzle energy about double as the 9mm Glock are LICENCE FREE in Poland. Everybody can go to the next gun store and buy without any licence so many muzzle loaded shotguns, revolvers, revolver carbines as he can carry. Now, in 2020 the number of trained paramilitary units members in Poland is much higher than stated in the film. Nobody knows very exactly the number but there are most likely about a quarter million of private soldiers, male and female. And the most significant diference to the most western europe armies is that these polish private soldiers are doing this NOT for money. It is not their job. It is their duty. In case of it would make a real significant diference to the west european armies. Snowflakes have mostly a hard life in Poland, oh yes.
Poland is unique.Great respect to those people, who still know how to CARE for their country.
As a former army cadet, much respect from austria. may the force be with you
+Vice
Home Army (Aarmia Krajowa) was not paramilitary groupe! it was partisans organization, created and controlled by the Polish government in exile after German conquer Poland, and they were not important part of defense because they were not created yet!
But what you could expect from German. And people wonder why Poles don't like Germanss ;)
This so called report was a stinking pile of german propaganda. It's amazing how subtitles don't match what was said.
Proud of the Poles. Real women and men who know how to stand up for their country. Regards from the USA.
Thank you Poland for protecting Europe.!
Did anyone else notice that whenever the German narrator referred to the Polish resistance during WWII he never mentioned Germany or Germans? It's as if Poland had been occupied by Lower Slobovia.
Kaz Kazimierz ..... of course, because Germans think that it was "the magical nazis" and nothing to do with Germans. They're such a guilt ridden country that the only thing they can possibly do is to completely try to wash their hands of the guilt by using denial. I bet this reporter would play dumb if you asked him about anything WW2....... that's how dumb Germans are these days.
Kaz Kazimierz I twitched a little at "the so-called 'Home Army'" but shit man, it's Vice, everything they do is propagandistic in the extreme, why would their German office be any different
Kaz Kazimierz poland was occupied by putin in ww2...
I don't think Putin was even born until after WWII. The Soviets certainly occupied eastern Poland.
gur ganr
Stop drinking.
OUTSTANDING!!!
1:45 that smile must be protected, god bless Poland and it's people
We really need this in the netherlands
This video makes me ponder if I should move to Poland. I'll start learning Polish; all i want is to be a police officer and save lives. I'd also like top be on the front line in the 11th crusade which seems like it's going to start at the Polish borders,
+CI0ne66 So good luck! Polish language is difficult for foreigners...but I belive in you! ,,Dla chcącego nic trudnego"! ;)
The idea that we will see a world without war just because we are doing well economically and socially in the west is absolutely hilarious. Just because we are peaceful on a larger scale it doesn't mean the rest of the world is. I stand with the Polish people and would proudly fight alongside them in the defense of their rights and freedom from oppression.
beautifully put.
Love Poland from your allies across the pond!🇺🇸♠️
I think every young man should have some sort of training in combat; men tend to do stupid things when they are unsure of themselves and feel like they need to prove something to others. Most guys in the military feel confident in their abilities and it becomes like a sort of deterrent to crime. It may sound counter intuitive but when you arm people and give them responsibility like in Switzerland and some regions of America there tends to be a lot less crime and people are more productive and friendly.
