Poland was the only country during World War II in which helping Jews was punishable by death by the Germans - and not only of the person who helped, but of their entire family, including children. Therefore, even despite the fact that the participation of Jews in Polish society was greater than in other European countries... the number of Poles awarded by Israel for helping people of the Jewish faith should be appreciated anyway

Du hast hundertprozentig recht.

Bitwa Warszawska, stoczona w sierpniu 1920 roku podczas wojny polsko-bolszewickiej, miała ogromne znaczenie nie tylko dla Polski, ale także dla całej Europy. Oto kilka kluczowych aspektów, które podkreślają jej znaczenie: 1. Zatrzymanie Ekspansji Bolszewizmu: - Bitwa Warszawska, często nazywana „Cudem nad Wisłą”, zatrzymała ofensywę Armii Czerwonej na Zachód. Gdyby bolszewikom udało się pokonać Polskę, ich dalszym celem była ekspansja rewolucji komunistycznej na zachodnią Europę, w tym Niemcy i inne kraje osłabione po I wojnie światowej. - Zwycięstwo Polski powstrzymało rozszerzenie komunizmu na kontynencie, chroniąc w ten sposób wiele krajów przed destabilizacją i możliwymi rewolucjami komunistycznymi. 2. Ochrona Niezależności Nowo Odzyskanych Państw: - Polska, która odzyskała niepodległość dopiero w 1918 roku, broniąc się przed bolszewikami, chroniła swoją suwerenność i integralność terytorialną. Sukces w bitwie warszawskiej był kluczowy dla utrzymania nowo odzyskanej niepodległości. - Zwycięstwo miało także znaczenie dla innych państw regionu, które odradzały się po rozpadzie imperiów po I wojnie światowej, takich jak Litwa, Łotwa i Estonia, które również były zagrożone przez ekspansję sowiecką. 3. Wzmocnienie Pozycji Polski w Europie: - Bitwa Warszawska znacząco wzmocniła międzynarodową pozycję Polski, pokazując, że nowo odrodzone państwo jest zdolne do skutecznej obrony swojego terytorium i suwerenności. - Sukces militarny Polski wpłynął na jej relacje z innymi krajami europejskimi i zwiększył jej znaczenie jako zapory przeciwko dalszej ekspansji bolszewizmu. 4. Stabilizacja Polityczna w Europie: - Powstrzymanie bolszewików miało również wpływ na stabilizację polityczną w Europie. Zwycięstwo Polski przyczyniło się do utrzymania porządku wersalskiego, ustanowionego po I wojnie światowej, który obejmował nowy ład geopolityczny i granice państw. W kontekście historycznym Bitwa Warszawska miała więc kluczowe znaczenie nie tylko dla Polski, ale i dla całej Europy, przyczyniając się do zatrzymania ekspansji komunizmu, ochrony niepodległości państw regionu i stabilizacji politycznej kontynentu.

In World War II, Polish troops fought on all fronts. In Africa, in Russia, in England. They participated in the defense of Great Britain, liberated Benelux, Italy and Russia. They fought in Berlin. After losing in 1939, they did not give up. They fought in Poland and everywhere where the war against Hitler was going on. From the first to the last day of the war.

Bitwa pod Wiedniem, stoczona 12 września 1683 roku pod dowództwem króla Polski Jana III Sobieskiego, miała ogromne znaczenie dla obrony Europy z kilku kluczowych powodów: 1. **Powstrzymanie Ekspansji Imperium Osmańskiego**: Imperium Osmańskie, będące potężnym państwem muzułmańskim, dążyło do dalszej ekspansji na zachód Europy. Gdyby udało im się zdobyć Wiedeń, otworzyliby sobie drogę do dalszych podbojów w Europie Środkowej, a nawet Zachodniej. Bitwa pod Wiedniem była kluczowym momentem w zatrzymaniu tej ekspansji. 2. **Zachowanie Niezależności Europy Środkowej**: Wiedeń był nie tylko strategicznie ważnym miastem, ale również symbolem oporu chrześcijańskiej Europy przeciwko najeźdźcom. Jego obrona miała duże znaczenie dla zachowania niezależności i integralności krajów europejskich, które były zagrożone osmańską inwazją. 3. **Współpraca Europejska**: Bitwa pod Wiedniem była jednym z pierwszych przykładów skutecznej współpracy międzynarodowej w Europie. Wojska Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów pod dowództwem króla Jana III Sobieskiego oraz wojska austriackie i niemieckie zjednoczyły siły w obronie przed wspólnym wrogiem. Ta koalicja pokazała, że współpraca między różnymi narodami Europy może prowadzić do wspólnego sukcesu. 4. **Symbol Zwycięstwa Chrześcijaństwa nad Islamem**: Dla wielu ówczesnych Europejczyków bitwa miała także wymiar religijny. Była postrzegana jako zwycięstwo chrześcijaństwa nad islamem, co wzmocniło morale chrześcijańskich mieszkańców Europy i zjednoczyło ich w obliczu zagrożenia. 5. **Długoterminowe Skutki Geopolityczne**: Zwycięstwo pod Wiedniem miało długotrwałe skutki geopolityczne. Osłabiło Imperium Osmańskie i powstrzymało jego dominację w Europie Środkowej. Wzmocniło także pozycję Austrii jako jednego z głównych graczy na europejskiej scenie politycznej. Bitwa pod Wiedniem była zatem kluczowym momentem w historii Europy, który miał ogromne znaczenie dla dalszego rozwoju kontynentu i zapobieżenia dominacji osmańskiej.

On September 12, 1683, the Battle of Vienna took place. At that time, the Ottoman Empire attacked Austria and Germany, intending to destroy the continent and massacre the infidels (Christians) to make the entire European continent Islamic. The Polish Kingdom understood the ambitions of the Ottoman Empire and decided to save their enemies (Austria and Germany). As a result, Poland sent its most formidable forces, including the legions of Hussars. The Polish forces, under the command of King Jan III Sobieski, numbered about 70,000 soldiers. The Ottoman army, commanded by Kara Mustafa, numbered about 300,000 soldiers. The Empire could not withstand even one day of fighting; after losing a quarter of their army and realizing that the Poles were not going to stop, they fled and never returned. In gratitude for saving their countries, Austria and Germany decided to destroy Poland with multiple wars, ultimately leading to the destruction of Poland together with Russia in 1795. At that time, Poland lost its independence and disappeared from the map for 123 years, during which we lived through three different brutal occupations that tried to destroy our spirit and way of life.

1. At the beginning of the 20th century, Michał Drzymała became famous in Poland (and also in Europe) due to a dispute with the Prussian authorities that lasted for nearly 4 years regarding the possibility of building a house on a plot of land in the village of Kaisertreu purchased in 1904[5] from a German merchant (this was the official name of the village Podgradowice from 1871; after 1918 the village returned to its Polish name, and in 1939 it was renamed Drzymałowo) near Rakoniewice, in the district of Grodzisk. 2. On May 20, 1901, when a German teacher named Schölzchen gave corporal punishment to 14 children for refusing to answer in German during religion lessons. In reaction to this, an angry crowd gathered in front of the school. The participants of these incidents were punished by the German authorities with imprisonment and fines. 3. Preparations to organize a Polish raid on Wschowa (Fraustadt) began on the night of 1 to 2 September 1939. Around 1 a.m., the commander of the Greater Poland Cavalry Brigade, General Roman Abraham, ordered to bring a platoon of cyclists under Lieutenant Zbigniew Barański from Krzywiń to Leszno. At dawn on 2 September, Lieutenant Wojda's observation planes took off in order to reconnoiter the German troops near Wschowa. The leading Polish expedition reached the outskirts of Wschowa, i.e. 8 kilometers into Germany. During the retreat, there was an armed incident with the V column in the town of Święciechowa. The local Germans came out with Nazi banners to meet the Polish unit, mistakenly thinking that they were German soldiers entering. As a result of the surprise, several shots were fired, after which the more active "demonstrators" were arrested. 4. Children of the Zamość Region - a term referring to children living in the Zamość region, who were forced to displace during World War II in order to establish new settlements for the ethnically German population from other European countries. According to historians' estimates, the Germans displaced over 30,000 children from the Zamość region during Aktion Zamość, which lasted only a few months, from the end of November 1942 to March 1943. Some of the children from the Zamość region, in whom German anthropologists found the presence of appropriate racial characteristics, were destined for Germanization in German families and orphanages. Out of several thousand destined for Germanization, about 800 were recovered after the war. A separate action as part of the child robbery program was carried out in 1944 by the German Army Group "Centre" and the 9. Army on the territory of Ukraine and Polish during the special action Heuaktion, during which 40-50 thousand children were captured. Among all the victims of the robbery of children, the largest number came from the territory of Poland - it is estimated that the Germans forcibly deported a total of 200,000 Polish children, of which only 30,000 were found after the war. 5. Alojzy Twardecki (23 March 1938 in Rogoźno - 27 September 2016 in Warsaw) was a Polish translator, academic teacher and firefighter. He was one of over 200,000 Polish children deported to Germany and subjected to Germanization in one of the Lebensborn centers. He was born in 1938 in Rogoźno, in an old noble family. His father, Leon Władysław Twardecki - an officer of the Uhlans - took part in the September Campaign in 1939 and disappeared without a trace. On September 27, 1943, Alojzy was taken away from his mother together with his cousin, Leon, and transported to an orphanage in Kalisz, where his name was changed to Alfred Hartmann, and then to Bad Tölz, where he was adopted by the German Binderberger family from Koblenz. As a result of their upbringing, he began to identify with the German nation. He was instilled with the belief that it was the Poles who caused the Second World War. The boy's mother, Małgorzata Ratajczak (she remarried in 1952 to Jan Ratajczak) began searching for her son in 1948. She turned to the Polish, International and Swiss Red Cross for help. Thanks to the help of the French General Koenig and the Polish Military Mission in West Berlin, she found the missing child and in 1949 a representative of the Polish Military Mission from Berlin visited the boy in Koblenz. Alojzy considered the whole matter to be a misunderstanding and in 1954 he decided to go to Polish to finally clarify it. There he met his biological mother, but he could not believe her words. When she told him about the persecution of Poles by the Germans, about concentration camps and other atrocities of World War II, he denied it, referring to German newspapers that wrote about the murders of Germans by Poles. "I listened to stories about the heroic struggles of the participants of the Warsaw Uprising, about the heroism of the children of Warsaw, about the Home Army, the assassination of Kutschera and the Cafe-Club, about the powerful partisan movement... and I was losing my sense of reality. After all, nothing is known about it in Germany. Poles don't have an organizational sense, how did they do it? Unbelievable! And this nonsense about concentration camps! Nobody believed it in our country, and not only in our country. I met Americans who also claimed that it was communist propaganda. Even my grandfather and father questioned such news (...)" - he wrote many years later. Gradually, however, he learned the true history of World War II. He decided to stay in Poland. He had to learn Polish from the beginning and, despite initial difficulties in assimilation, in 1956 he began studies at the Faculty of Foreign Trade of the Warsaw School of Planning and Statistics. Then he studied at the Faculty of Law of the University of Warsaw and at the Faculty of German Studies at the University of Warsaw and Adam Mickiewicz University (doctoral studies). He was a student of Professor Thomas Höhle and Professor Jan Chodera (doctorate).

I still remember September '89 when a bunch of DDR refugees were sqatting in Warsaw under the fence of West Germany embassy. Common citizens of Warsaw delivered food, water, sleeping bags, toiletries, and anything they needed. I also took part in it myself, collecting help for refugees. I even persuaded my student friends from the GDR to at least serve as interpreters in this mess. They were a little scared at the beginning what their FDJ supervisor (and supposingly the Stasi agent) would say about such arbitrariness, but I convinced them that communism just meets its end so they can be national heroes in the nearest future, or cowards and cabotins. They still hesitated but finally I said - "All right, in the monthly report that you owe to your Stasi supervisor you can claim that you were there to gather information pretending humanitary aid. She's so stupid, she'd buy it". And on the end I added - "If you wouldn't help this people, I won't play cards with you any longer" (they were card games fans, especially bridge and heards). And it worked.

Poland was not always being invaded during its long history as many seem to believe. It was also an invader as well. For instance, the Poles and Lithuanians conquered and occupied Moscow in 1610. That is something that Hitler and Napoleon failed to achieve. After the Battle of Britain, the Polish Air Force expanded to more fighter and bomber squadrons. By 1945 the Polish Airforce numbered 22,000 people. Overall, over 200,000 Poles were fighting in the West as soldiers, airmen and sailors under British Command won some famous battles such as Failaise Gap and Monte Casino. From 1943 there were also over 200,000 Poles fighting alongside the Red Army all the way to Berlin and Dresden.

2.40 ma rację, do Polski jechały pociągi uchodzców. Na granicy mieli jedzenie, ubrania, nawet wózki dla dzieci. Czekali lekarze i ludzie co zabiorą ich do 'nowego ' domu. Przejechało ponad 3 mln. Ludzi. Mieli spanie, jedzenie a często nową pracę i dom. Ruch spontaniczny, z ❤ dla potrzebujących sąsiadów. Kilka mrd. Poszło...ALE POLSKA POKAZAŁA ŻE MOŻNA NA NAS LICZYĆ.

Hey :)

[@EyeScreamPL]

10:12 So maybe you - FINALLY! - gonna watch and react to the "Bloody Foreigners: Battle of Britain". Would you? Do you ever read or answer your viewers comments? :| Cos I was talking about this while ago.

[@dorotabarbowska2184]

15:08 How? normally , we host refigees in our homes. Simple as that. I hosted 6 people and until today I have four- three orphans and their grandma. One young woman left with her little daughter for Germany ,where a friend of hers was. She returned to Poland crying two weeks later, because in Germany they were crowded in huge halls, with no privacy and not even allowed to leave these camps after certaiin hours nor to have visitors from outside. Needless to say, she was not allowed to stay near her friend , so felt totally lonely and decided to come back here where she met frindly PEOPLE rather than cold PROCEDURES.

After the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill famously said about Poles: "Never have so many owed so much to so few." Because of our history, we have a genetic ability to act in crisis situations. The bigger the crisis, the better we act as a collective.

about the Battle of Britain, video "Bloody Foreigners: untold Battle of Britain" it's about 1h long but explains the topic very well, and if you want to hear about some polish success, i think 2 most popular are battle of Vienna (if I remember correctly biggest cavalry charge in history lead by Polish king himself), and Polish - Muscovite war and conquest of Moscow

In "thank you" for the participation of Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain, after betraying us at Yalta, the British EXCLUDED Polish soldiers from the victory parade that took place in London... They could only watch it, standing on the sidelines.

[@spoconybobr5634]

he forgot about something more important, Battle of Vienna - a battle fought on September 12, 1683 near Vienna between the Polish-Imperial troops under the command of King John III Sobieski and the army of the Ottoman Empire under the command of vizier Kara Mustafa

[@JaKuB.B]

But in fact any Polish pilot from division 303 and other division was not invited to end-of-war parade at London (but with out Polish pilots meybe history can be much worse British forgot about our Polish heros)

You don't hear much about that because tge other countries were stronger and it's their version that becomes the canon one. Like, you don't hear about all the fight that Piland has put against the Germans and Soviets, because it's German and Soviet propaganda (of Poland being weak and passive) that was widely spread. You don't hear about Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain, because their impact was dowplayed later by Britain itself, out of fear of angering Stalin, who by that time had hold on Poland. Definitely react to Bloody Foreigners! Great documentary.

[@excrug9408]

The sign you are asking about means "Fighting Poland"

There is actually a book entitled "303 Squadron" by Arkady Fiedler. It's on the polish primary school curriclum. I believe a movie was also made about based on the story

No just because Poland had the most of Jews in Europe doesn't mean it was natural for them to save the most of people. Poland was the only occupied by germans country where for giving to a Jew a glass of water one could lose own and his famili life.

I think battle of Vienna was missing from the list. You should react to "Winged Hussars" by Sabaton to learn more about it!

[@imeternalsoul]

We escaped through hungary, and the other countries around it, when there was the corridor to continue the fight. From there to asia, france, or straight to britain, after France was defeated we went on Dunkirk to England as well as some of our ships, for example that's how the government in exile went altgough some were held back, after Germany increased it's harshness no-one was allowed to escape but until somewhere in mid 1940, we still escaped.

Skalski's Flying Circus? Polish pilots during WWII who were so good that the Germans turned back home as soon as the circus appeared... Once one of them came under fire and his machine was damaged and unfit for flight... Then he shot down the enemy and he went to land at the airport because he didn't want to walk back.

[@3mrys937]

On a different note, my favorite Polish historical event is when the Allies declared war on Japan, forcing Poland to do the same... Then Japan said: No, we are not fighting with the Poles.

Vigo's Dad knows Polish. He's been living in Poland for some years now. I think he's from some Latin American country. During the 2015 Refugee Crisis 1,3 million refugees came to Europe. Two months into the war in Ukraine almost 3 million Ukrainian refugees lived in Poland. Warsaw alone hosted 500 thousand, which means one in six people in Warsaw spoke Ukrainian or Russian. Back in the 18th century 90% of all world Jews lived in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. When Poland-Lithuania was divided by Russia, Prussia and Austria they got our Jews as well. So yes, Poland was the heart of the Jewish culture. Even when rich Jewish merchants moved to England, the Netherlands or other places in Western Europe they'd still send their sons to Poland for education. I don't think the number of Poles helping Jews was high because the number of Jews was high. If that were true more people in France or elsewhere could have easily saved all their Jews and somehow they didn't. The number was high because it was very difficult to help Jews. Poland was the only Nazi occupied country where helping Jews (even just giving them a glass of water) was punished by death of the helper and all their family. To help a single person Poles needed to organize a huge network of people so that Jews, and often Jewish kids, could pass from person to person not staying in one place longer than a few days. Even if a Jewish person was able to pass as a gentile, they still needed help in getting false documents, an apartment, a job etc. Poland was the only country where a Committee to help Jews was sponsored by the government (the Polish govt in exile) and also the only one where a joint Polish-Jewish community was created. Very often those were the same people that were engaged in the Underground State operations, and Poland had built much larger Nazi opposition than other countries. We also had our diplomats helping Jews leave the occupied territory. Poland has had very good relations with some of Nazi "friends" like Japan, Hungary and others, and their diplomats issued visas for Polish Jews, helping to evacuate thousands. Still, the number of Jews in Poland was too high to help all, and most Polish Jews weren't assimilated. Those fluent in Polish were ca 350 thousand and the number of saved Jews was close to that number. Unfortunately, many unassimilated Jews didn't trust Christians and didn't want to leave the ghetto or let their children leave. Of course it was possible to meet an evil Pole who'd sell a Jewish person to the Nazis. Still, escaping the ghetto and trying to live on the Polish side was the greatest chance for survival for Polish Jews. At some point there were ca 50 thousand Jews hiding in Warsaw, but because of the two uprising in 1943 (ghetto) and 1944 (Warsaw) most of them didn't survive.
