The sign "PW" Means "Polska Walcząca" or "Fightning Poland". According to wikipedia: "Polska Walcząca (PW) - a symbol in the shape of an anchor, where the letter P symbolizes Poland, and the arms represent the letter W - struggle or the "anchor" - a symbol of hope for the recovery of independence of Poland occupied by Nazi Germany. Widely used during World War II."

[@marekzajac2107]

Yes, it is symbol of anorher polish specjal unit JWK, but author of film about GROM used photos of both these units

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

And the famous symbol of "Fighting Poland", so letter "PW" combined into an anchor, was designed by Anna Smoleńska - she was a member of the Grey Ranks, arrested by Gestapo, imprisoned in Pawiak prison and later murdered in Auschwitz at the age of 23. Also her father and other members of her family were arrested by Gestapo and murdered.

[@ukaszjanowski2183]

@@marekzajac2107 Not necessarily, JWK uses a stylized Kotwica (with a dagger) as a badge, and the one in the photo is normal, so it may be an ordinary patch, not identification sign. In addition, when I checked google graphics (i know, professional research), I saw patch with normal Anchor on GROM operators, but not JWK. If I wrong, please, corect me.

JW stands for "Jednostka Wojskowa", which in translation means Military Unit. GROM is also an abbreviation and means "Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno-Manewrowego", and the translated version is the Operational-Maneuver Reaction Group, but "grom" is also a word in Polish meaning thunder.

PW as a tied monogram (looking like an anchor) - a symbol of "Fighting Poland" during the German occupation. Painting this symbol on walls was punishable by death. Two original "PW" signs painted on the walls during the German occupation have survived to this day - they are located on the building of the Supreme Audit Office in Warsaw.

[@agataryznar5675]

anchor P this is "Polska Walcząca" sign the symbol of the Polish underground state in WWII

[@ukaszjanowski2183]

1:50 No, the symbol of JW GROM is an Eagle with a lightning (grom means thunderbolt in polish). The symbol you are asking is Polska Walcząca (Fighting Poland), also called Kotwica (Anchor), created during world war II by polish underground state and using to this day as a symbol of patriotism and readiness to fight for freedom. Trivia: Anchor is symbol other polish special forces, Jednostka Wojskowa Komandosów (Commandos Military Unit ).

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

A designer of this symbol of "Fighting Poland", so of letters "PW" combined into an anchor, was Anna Smoleńska - she was a member of the Grey Ranks and of little sabotage, she was arrested by Gestapo, imprisoned in Pawiak prison and then murdered in Auschwitz at the age of 23. Also her father, and other members of her family, were arrested by Gestapo and murdered.

No, grom does not mean lightning in polish. Lightning in polish is 'błyskawica', 'grom' means thunder.

1:47 that's one of the most popular symbols of polish resistance movement during and after ww2. It means PW, Polska Walcząca (eng. Fighting Poland). It was adopted as a symbol of GROM, they wear it on their uniforms. 1:56 and that's the logo of the unit

[@tizek2]

JW GROM is most famous in PL but we have also JW Agat, Nil and Formoza. I saw once at S19/S17 speedway SPEC OPS convoy with hammers and mraps. I think it was JW Agat. That was so impressive!!!!

[@crimson5664]

Jw means Jednostka Wojskowa ( Military Unit). Evety unit has also its own number code in the name. We have overall 5 SOF units - JW Komandosów, JW Grom, JW Formoza, Agat and Nil. Each one specialize in different kind of warfare for example Formoza do mostly marine ops and JWK recon and sabotage behind enemy lines. Overall Polish SOFs counts around 3-4k soldiers which is like a brigade.

[@zubi9995]

6:08 JW is Jednostka Wojskowa(eng. military unit)

[@marcinszrajber]

This symbol you were asking about was used by Polish Underground Army - Armia Krajowa during ww2. It contains letters P and W which stands for Polska Walcząca (Fighting Poland).JW stands for Jednostka Wojskowa which means Military Unit

[@twisters999]

The Anchor, PW, Polska Walcząca, was a sign created by a young Polish resistance movement volonteer in WW2. It means "Figting Poland". Now it's one of our most important signs. Used everywhere when the "fight" for something is needed but used mostly by military. Very popular. Very patriotic.

[@krzysztofgrau740]

U can check another special forces in Poland for example: FORMOZA (its similar to SEAL), AGAT, EDS (air special forces), JWK (recognition and support), Nil (tech and logistics). But yes, Grom and Formoza are our jewels in da crown

[@dees84]

"Grom" means "Thunder" in english.

[@twisters999]

They are very well known in the military and Irak veterans circles. Adored by Navy Seals and SAS. Great specialists, my childhood dream to become one of them. JW stands for Jednostka Wojskowa - Military Unit. Normaly all those formations use JWK - Jednostka Wojskowa Komandosów - Commando Army Unit. And BTW Grom means Thunder. At the same time Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno Militarnego - Military-Operational Reaction Group. ...And Yeah xDDDDDD HECKLER & COCK? HECKLER & COKE ?

[@parryyyt8479]

Many of scenes in video shows other Polish sof units "JWK", 'AGAT" 1:06- AGAt 3:30-4:37 is All JWK 5:04- JWK 6:42- JWK

[@piotrnotecki6196]

JW, which means military unit in Polish Jednostka Wojskowa. There were about 3,100 soldiers in all special forces in 2021, but it is difficult to estimate how many of them were in the JW GROM unit, maybe 500 or maybe 700 soldiers. Nowhere is it stated exactly how many soldiers there are in individual units, but there are 5 of them. The most important are JW GROM and JWK (K like Commandos) and the remaining 3 are auxiliary and the sixth is a supporting air unit. After 2022, there is no data on how many soldiers we have in special forces. Due to the war in the East, these data were kept secret. We are increasing the armies, so the specialists are also larger, but I think that ultimately there will be no more than 4,000-4,500 soldiers because they are expensive units to maintain and only used in exceptional situations, so there is no need to have more.

[@AliceeMice]

I love for this Call of duty that they introduced a Polish operator Jw Grom Gromsko and Sweager 😅❤️

[@zubi9995]

10:40 it's just a way of saying it's among the best units in the world. I don't think there is something like a special forces tierlist, it would be very hard to make due to the specifics of this type of unit

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Interesting video.

[@zubi9995]

3:00 yeah, I think it's normal for special units, at least these better ones to hide the identity of their operators. These people are quite important and could be targeted by different groups when they're off-duty

They look cool but it's a tough service. In the last 6 months 2 Special Unit operators have been killed during training. This shows that they don't joke around during training.

[@electricink3908]

The PW symbol originally stood for "pomścimy Wawer" -we will avenge Wawer, referring to a 1939 massacre of Polish civilians by Ordnungpolizei. It became a Polish resistance and later a Polish military symbol.

Also about sign and GROM. GROM is continuing tradition of paratroopers from Nazi occupied Poland times where that time so called "Cichociemni" ("Silent Unseen" very small Polish special forces of those times) trained in Britain were dropped to Poland to gather intelligence and support Polish underground fighting Nazi Germany. Anchored "P" was explained here by other people. It also means that Poland will fight even if it is occupied and it does not officially exist. It is tradition for the nation and culture to fight for it.

[@scoff7032]

How good they are? They train with American Delta, US Navy SEAL's and British SAS. It is tier one unit meaning it goes everywhere where SAS, Delta or Navy SEL'As go and they can operate together. In fact, at start of Iraq war US Navy SEAL's took one oil terminal while Polish GROM took the other and it did it faster than US Navy SEAL's (I have a friend who was there in GROM). They also arrested Serbian mass murderer Slavek Dokmanovic aka "Butcher of Vukovar" in 15 minutes and his mercenaries did not know what hit them until their hands were zip tied and they got bags over their heads then in 2 hours Dokmanovic was transported from Serbia to Hague criminal court. Why do you think Putin will not travel to the rest of Europe? They protected US ambassador in Haiti at the beginning of their career (yes Polish GROM). If you know movie "American Sniper" so, I suggest read more comprehensive book from author Chris Kyle from US Navy SEAL's (autobiography from the war under the same title). There is sub-chapter where Chris says when he was freshly deployed to Iraq without his Navy SEAL unit he was on Polish GROM unit as sniper under Polish command. This is how close those unit operate. You can even read in that book (as well as another GROM operator book) how he was green and while patrolling with GROM he opened fire on car that was carrying two CIA operatives trying to make contact (big no-no when approaching special forces convoy). Polish operators tried to hide him to save his butt, but he admitted and he was put on ice for two weeks for this misdemeanor. Polish GROM trains everywhere including in Belize tropical rain forests to learn how to survive in jungle. They also have very harsh selection and no you cannot be individualist - you have to be good at teamwork, but you have to survive as individual with little to no help. The best individualists are eliminated just like weakest individuals. They use real ammo and flash bangs during training and their first commander and co-founder general Slawomir Petelicki was playing hostage for demonstration while they were shooting next to him - level of professional confidence.

[@Regent79]

I also once heard that the symbol was for “Warszawskiego Powstania” (The Warsaw Uprising) 🤔

Chris, I suggest you watch a film based on facts "Karbala" - a Polish war drama from 2015, directed by Krzysztof Łukaszewicz, presenting real events of the defense of the town hall in Karbala by Polish and Bulgarian stabilization forces during the Shiite rebellion in Iraq in 2004. The Polish-Bulgarian formation has been fighting for four days against the numerically superior attackers.

Jeez does that video butcher the pronounciation. He's rolling the "o" in "Grom" into an "ou", where it should stop at the "o sound itself" - much like Arnold pronounced "Crom" in the Conan movies once upon a time. Also, the "JW" is not part of the unit's name proper - it's an acronym for "Jednostka Wojskowa" - "Military Unit". It's perfectly fine to refer to them as "GROM" or "GROM Unit", if one uses the Polish "JW" acronym they should read it with the Polish pronounciation ("Yotvu"). These days GROM is well known but does not get much media attention for obvious reasons. 7:49: You feel my pain XD
