German Officers Unaware That This Prisoner Is A Boxing Champion. Movie Recap

[@njoysuccessnow]

I appreciated the boxing scenes because, they seemed realistic and believable and not overly dramatic like most boxing movies. The movie was really sad though. A depiction of true evil at its best.

[@makukawakami]

Yes that's an astute point, but what I see is the fighter spirit. He has that grit to fight and win. this movie is just a fraction of what he did while in Nazi custody.

[@mieteksnopowiazaka5359]

Tadeusz Pietrzykowski was a Pole, not a Jew. Besides, the first prisoners in Auschwitz were Poles, Jews began to be sent to this German death camp only after the Wannsee Conference, on January 20, 1942, when the Germans agreed "the final solution to the Jewish question". Those who say that there was no television then are wrong. The beginnings of television in Poland date back to 1938, when the first experimental television station was launched in Warsaw, broadcasting its signal from a skyscraper (at that time 20 floors) called the Prudential building, but the fights of Tadeusz Pietrzykowski were broadcasted in doubt. Tadeusz Pietrzykowski is a living symbol of not only a great man, but also an athlete, he was a great man, although he fought in the "bantamweight" I also recommend the story of St. Maksymilian Kolbe, who gave his life for his neighbor, volunteering for him to die by starvation, and also Captain Witold Pilecki, who volunteered to Auschwitz to establish a resistance movement there. These are heroes of flesh and blood, not some imaginary "superheroes" with capes, masks on their faces and "magic powers"

"Tadeusz Pietrzykowski (Polish pronunciation: [taˈdɛuʂ pjɛtʂɨˈkɔfskʲi]; born 8 April 1917, Warsaw - died 17 April 1991, Bielsko-Biała) was a Polish boxer, Polish Armed Forces soldier, and a prisoner at the Auschwitz-Birkenau and Neuengamme concentration camps run by the German Nazis during World War II. He was part of the first mass transport to Auschwitz in June 1940, and was transferred to Neuengamme in 1943. He is remembered as the boxing champion of Auschwitz." Was Polish boxer and soldier.

It was at least 2 of this polac top boxers in Auchwitz, with background from the Army of Poland. The other is the light weight Antoni "Kajtek" Czortek (2nd of july 1915-15 of January 2004) was a 4 times Polish boxing champion, 1939 silver medalist in the Amateur Championships of Europe, a multiple champion of Poland and a participant in the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. Chortek had also a simular fight as in the film with a German SS officer named Walter, He totally fighted against minimum 15 innmates (most bigger then him) + some SS-soldiers. In 1944 he was transferred to a other consentratiuon camp (Mauthausen-Gusen), and in the spring of 1945 was freed by the Americans.

Movie reminds me of Triumph of the Spirit with Wellum Defoe..

[@insalubriousdithyramb1742]

Yes absolutely. Watched that movie on Mgm channel years ago but forgot the name. I thought this was a recap of that movie.

"Watch all the boxing matches on tv" you sure about that?

[@parcm]

The boy was watching Teddy's boxing matches on TV? before 1940 in Poland? uh...?

[@johnljacksonjr5074]

What was the name of the Movie 🎥 ?

[@johnfranke9655]

Get your timeline right, Janak didn't see boxing on TV, this is set in WW2, no TV

[@ianjohnson4987]

deserves a better narration which is terrible

[@altaylor3988]

Did I hear correctly .... when the young lad said he had watched the Polish Boxer on T.V. ...REALLY in Poland during WW2????????????

[@carloflorez8697]

Cinematic Liberty. That's all. They do it all the time.

[@deluxieeee]

Historical problem There was no tv in the early 1940s to watch anything, let alone boxing matches.

[@rjlionheart]

How can the kid watch Teddy’s boxing matches on TV years before television was invented??? Fail.

[@rjack58]

there was no TV during WW II!

[@MrBretnutz]

...watching Boxing matches on TV, in Poland.1940 ?....Polish TV was from 1937-1939...Very UnLikely but not inpossiable...

[@cezar3977]

Same thought here. I don't believe there were any boxing matches in TV in the 30s. Putting that into a film that tries to portray historical events is ridiculous.

[@AllanMogensen]

Looked for a comment on that one :)

[@revelationunsealed1758]

To be more precise,the boy was watching boxing matches on 90 inch flat screen HD 1920/1080 resolution.

[@ThePirocadoida]

I wonder how the hell the young man sees the boxer's fight on TV if it didn't exist yet.

[@leehaelters6182]

Newsreels.

[@youngskyline7184]
