The point about polish pilots was that they were seasoned veterans who were so highly motivated that they went throuht half of the world to join RAF in fight aganist Germans. They were elite of polish armed forces. Most of them already fought in Poland and France. On the other side Brits lost most of their experienced pilots in France and were replacing them by very poorly trained newbies (no time for proper training). RAF higher ups did not understood how badly owerwhelmed Poles were in 39 (Germans had way better planes and they had many times numbers of experienced pilots). They (Brits) thought Polish pilots were simply poor soldiers. It took some time for UK commanders to start trust them. And when they did - Poles started to shine in some parts thanks to weak british "competition" .

4:00 The castle in Stobnica was built in 2015. It caused a lot of controversy due to its location on the edge of the Notecka Forest and the Natura 2000 area. In July 2020, the police, at the request of the prosecutor's office, detained seven people related to the construction of the facility. The voivode gave consent to the construction contrary to the law, for which a request to revoke the consent was issued. The prosecutor filed an application to revoke the construction decision. The Chief Construction Supervision Inspector found the decision on the building permit invalid. Court hearings are still ongoing. This building should not exist, because it is only a monument to the fact that if you have money you can do whatever you want, even against the law. 6:00 You can try to refuse food, which of course does not mean that you will succeed. After many years of occupation, war and the Polish People's Republic, which all meant poverty and hunger, an unnamed feeling was created that: food = love. 12:18 a reference to the fact that the Germans tried in the past to make Poland non-existent. In the partitions or World War II, the point was not to take territory, but to prevent us from existing as a nation.

Tankies is a word to describe sort of extreme leftists who (a lot of the times) see USSR and other Communist states are some sort of utopias with governments without fault and think that all the Eastern European countries are ungrateful and committed the grave sin of refuting communism and spread "bad propaganda" about USSR in general. So while it often does relate to the extreme leftist in the west, it is NOT synonymous with just Americans.

Please react to this song:"Mury" Mury" (Walls) was a sung poetry protest song written by Polish singer Jacek Kaczmarski in 1978. It was especially popular among the workers of Solidarity (NSZZ Solidarność) and is one of Kaczmarski's best known songs. It became a powerful symbol of the opposition to the communist regime in the People's Republic of Poland and was sung at countless rallies, meetings, protests and strikes throughout Poland during the 1980s. The lyrics for Mury were written in 1978 to the melody of the song L'Estaca by the Catalan singer Lluís Llach, which Kaczmarski heard on one of several Spanish records he borrowed from a friend in December of that year. The intention of Kaczmarski's lyrics was to examine how a song or poem can cease to become the 'property' of the author after it is 'stolen' by the masses, who may appropriate it for a particular cause even if it wasn't the author's intention in the first place. In this context, the song can be interpreted as supporting the Polish or Catalan struggle for independence, but also as a critique of certain aspects of mass social movements. Link to the song with english lyrics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZLXY6SggNqCprcsi=sFELyZpLtMH1IO7a

4:10 as others already mentioned, it's a fake castle in Stobnica being built since 2015. But that's just a tip of the iceberg - the building stands on an artificial island built on a Natura 2000 protected terrain. In 2020 the investors were arrested, the building permit was allegedly issued in violation of the law, there are multiple court cases on all levels of Polish judicial system concerning the investors and the validity of the permit. Apparently they opened up this May for some events.

the hatred between poland and russia in medieval time and later is not very true. Polish aristocracy /noble men wanted to have low tax and freedom, didn't care to much from which country is their king, paysants as well king was like saint, king was kinfg and there was similar situation in Russia. Polish had many kings from abroad, Russians had Catherine 2 the Great, she was Prussian / german. Both sides they unleashed propaganda and hatred just few years after every war and that's it. The fact than polish king wasn't longer russian tsar, or Russian tsar wasn't longer Polish king (e.g. Aleksander I ) is just coincidence / "blind chance" and decision of nobles. Some russian nobels had nothing against that and some polish nobels cooperated with russian tsars without any problems. .

Hussars were elite warriors, cavalery (heavy cavalery actually) with looks and tactics that noone else in the world uses :) The myth is that they have wings attatched to horse saddle or horseman back to frighten enemy.

"Tankies" refers to Russians. Or rather, the particular kind of Russians: "Russia is a great empire, Russia always only protects itself, USSR was great, the Soviets liberated Poland so Poland is ungrateful for hating them, Poland hates Russia only because they're russophobes and do what America is telling them...actually everyone who hates Russia is an American puppet". You know, the classics. The term comes probably from the Russian tendency to glorify war and having tanks as monuments in the city centers.

[@Vengir]

It is used more often to refer to Russia's sympathizers in other countries, rather than Russians themselves. The term, as far as I can remember, was created after the Soviets brutally suppressed Hungarian uprising with their army (including tanks). In the socialist circles in the west it caused a schism. Some were rightfully appalled by the whole thing. Others said that it's okay, as long as it's the Soviets doing it. The latter became known as tankies, and the term became synonymous with apologists of Russia.
