One of the most important battles in world history is missing from this video. I mean the Battle of Warsaw on August 15, 1920, also known in Poland as the "Miracle on the Vistula" . Lenin's army tried to pass through Poland to bring communism to Western Europe kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmqtlWOsq7J_jZo&ab_channel=Kassendek

We, Poles, are so strange that: 1. We apply the maxim: "a guest in the house, God in the house!" and "have a heart and look into the heart!" 2. Unlike the Russians and Germans, we "don't like" building camps (for refugees, concentration and... death). The elite who built the State of Israel (after World War II) were almost entirely Polish Jews (citizens of the Second Polish Republic), saved by Poles. For Poles, every person has the right to freedom. Poles have always abhorred imperialism! Poles know perfectly well that freedom is not given once and for all, that it has to be fought for. Regards

By the way, the beginning of the whole Zionistic movement is connected with the Katowice Conference in 1884 (Katowice is a city in Upper Silesia, after the WW I, regaining of Polish independence and the three Silesian Uprisings in the years 1919-1921, being a city of Poland). In Tel Aviv there's even a Katowice Street.

More than 8 million passed through Poland, receiving food, medical care and accommodation. About 800,000 + about 1 million from before the war are left in Poland from the refugees. The remaining refugees went to the west, to the USA or returned to Ukraine. About 700 000 were taken into flats, houses, guest houses and hotels in the first days of the war. No one slept on the street, no one died of hunger or cold. Of course, there were and are Poles who do not want to help, but they are a minority. Bad people are everywhere, the important thing is that there are more of the good ones. 1939-45 To understand the price the Poles who helped the Jewish people had to pay. - Protecting a Jew for 4-5 years, you had to feed him, give him shelter, clothe him, wash him, keep him warm. - Food was only on ration cards for people who worked. Nazi rule - You don't work, you don't eat. So you had to share your own supplies or buy at several times higher prices on the black market. - There was no way to evacuate, Poland was surrounded by enemies on all sides. You would have to have a forged passport a lot of money and some forged documents, allowing you to cross several borders and travel on trains. Everything was controlled the whole of Europe and especially Poland was one huge labour camp. - If a Pole was caught helping Jews, all property, a flat, a house was taken, and the whole family was taken to Auschwitz or hanged or shot, along with any Jews found. - Countries like France or the Netherlands, the penalty for hiding a Jew was a fine, or imprisonment, not killing. Polish general Tadeusz Kościuszko, the liberator. His will was beyond his friends' minds. Thomas Jefferson He did everything to prevent Poland from being enslaved, but he also strived hard for freedom for Americans. In terms of his attitude towards slaves and Indians, he was far ahead of his time, supporting his beliefs with very specific actions. Tadeusz Kościuszko was born 275 years ago. When Black Lives Matter protesters began destroying the Tadeusz Kościuszko monument in Washington in 2020, it was hard to find a worse target. The statue of a white soldier in a strange outfit probably reminded them of some "white supremacist", but in fact Kościuszko was - for those times - an incredible liberal who wanted complete freedom not only for black slaves and Indians, but also for Polish serfs chained to the land, and also for the Jews (it was Kościuszko who gave consent during the 1794 uprising to form Berek Joselewicz's unit). For his services to the independence of the USA, Kościuszko was generously rewarded by Congress with a grant of land (250 hectares) and a high salary (in 1783, he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general of the American army). Kościuszko wrote in his will that part of his estate would be used to buy out slaves belonging to several of his American friends, including, among others, to Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the USA. Kościuszko also clearly noted that this money should be spent on educating the freed people. “In his contacts with Thomas Jefferson, he insisted on the redemption and emancipation of slaves. Jefferson owned slaves and lived off their labor. Unlike him, Kościuszko was a man who took the well-known American proverb "put your money where your mouth is", which means "It's not enough to talk, you have to put money down". The Polish commander could have lived freely on his property in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (now in Belarus), but he decided to liberate the peasants who worked on his land, regardless of the costs incurred. Thomas Jefferson, who called Kościuszko "the purest son of freedom", did not fulfill the will of his Polish friend, thus breaking his own promise.

[@wojtekpolak413]

The British initially invited Poles to participate in the celebrations, but sent an official notification to the communist authorities, who took over the rule in post-war Poland with the anointing of Moscow. No letter was sent to the representatives of the Polish Government in Exile, which until recently was the only partner of the Allies and a representative of the Polish Armed Forces fighting under British orders on the fronts of World War II. Despite protests from some British politicians and an attempt to invite representatives of the Polish Air Force, which fought so heroically during the Battle of Britain, the Polish Armed Forces had no official representation during the loudly celebrated London Victory Parade. Shortly before the parade, the British decided to send an invitation to the pilots of the 303rd Fighter Squadron, which was part of the Polish Air Force in Great Britain. It was planned to place them in RAF units, alongside other foreign pilots. However, as a gesture of solidarity, the "Kościuszko members" decided to unite with other representatives of the Polish Armed Forces in the West and refused to participate in the celebrations. - I deeply regret that none of the Polish troops who fought alongside us in so many battles and who shed their blood for a common cause were allowed to take part in the Victory Parade - said Winston Churchill, former prime minister and opposition leader, in 1946. He added that Britain will never forget their bravery and combat exploits at Tobruk, Narwik, Cassino and Arnhem. It was only in 2003 that British Prime Minister Tony Blair apologized to Polish veterans for the attitude of his predecessors and the lack of invitation to the victory parade.

About the Ukraine, when the war started, in February 2022, almost all Polish were trying to help Ukrainians, not only the state, the government, but plenty of people with their own private resources as well. Plenty of people took the refugees, for more weeks, directly to their homes. Plenty of people were collecting money or making packages with necessary goods, like food, cosmetics and other products, to send them to Ukraine for those who stayed there. We were doing this, so collecting our private money or making packages, in our families, at work, at churches. The refugees received also a lot of help from the Polish state, like many social benefits. Children could freely attend Polish schools, refugees can use Polish healthcare system etc. Not mentioning about big military help.

7 million Ukrainians came to Poland! not thousands, it would be as if Poland accepted the entire population of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. . Of course, as the war dragged on, most of them spread across Europe to the USA and Canada. Of these 7 million, approximately 1.5 million remained in Poland. It is true that no camps were established, ordinary people welcomed them into their homes if they had a place to host them, local government institutions took them in, paid for the hotel rental, hoteliers took them in at their own expense, in sports halls, etc., orphanages took in children from Ukrainian orphanages along with caregivers - we managed, as there is empathy in the nation.

[@echoes222]

Your post requires some correction: Poles had 1st version of Enigma broken even before the war. In the meantime, Germans had another, updated version, with additional rolls. This one wasn't initially broken by anyone, but after UK got the working version from an u-boat, polish mathematicians helped immensely with their expertise and were able to understand the way the updated enigma worked. However, actual breaking of the code was done by Alan Turing. But it needs to be said again - without Polish expertise and pre-war breaking of earlier enigma, I don't believe UK would be able to break it before 1945.

The saddest thing is that our pilots who saved Britain received no help from our allies. Poland was abandoned and betrayed. and even after this situations we still are ready to help others.

[@ArkadiuszKurnicki]

Hundreds of thousands :) NO! in the first 3 months when starting war is about 4,000,000 people :) - Peoples in Poland maked special google maps with all possibilities accommodation on rooms or house for Ukrainian refugees.

It's true that we don't allow some people into our country. And that's probably why we've never had terrorist attacks.

Witam wszystkich serdecznie na początku wybaczcie że nie piszę po angielsku ale chciałbym aby Państwo możliwie najwięcej mieli do czynienia z językiem polskim. Temat historii Polski jest z jednej strony bardzo trudny i cześć i chwała dla Państwa że chcecie podjąć i poznać historię Polski. Ja od siebie dodam że nie będę przytaczał ważnych momentów pozwolę sobie natomiast przytoczyć kilka cytatów które pozwolą poznać polskiego ducha. A więc zacznijmy od Napoleona Bonaparte który stwierdził "Jeśli czegoś nie da się zrobić zostawcie to Polakom" kolejny cytat właśnie po bitwie o Anglię sam głównodowodzący RAF-U powiedział "nigdy w historii tak wielu nie zawdzięczało tak wiele tak nielicznym" następny cytat który doskonale obrazuje polskiego ducha to: Bo my nie błagamy o wolność my o nią walczymy i na koniec taki trochę humorystyczny Polacy nie pytają ilu jest wrogów tylko gdzie oni są Pozdrawiam serdecznie i życzę miłego pobytu w Polsce

There are many such interesting stories involving Poles. I will mention a few; General Kościuszko fought against Russia and later emigrated to the USA where he fought on the side of the USA against England when the USA was created. Personally, he was a friend of Jefferson. Kościuszko was the creator of the American Rangers and the founder of West Point. At that time, Puławski was the second Pole, the creator of the US cavalry. To this day, there is a Puławy parade in New York. From the period of Napoleon's fighting, there is his adjutant Sułkowski, a Pole, a very educated and talented officer of Napoleon, who was so jealous of his talent that he sent him to a suicide fight against the Mamluks with whom he had no chance of survival. There are many geographers and ethnographers. The highest honor in Australia discovered by a Pole and named it Kościuszko, but many Australians have no idea that the name of the mountain is a Pole's surname. Etc.

[@michelleclarke8264]

The USA did not support Poland in 1939. The British, along with others, defeated Napoleon. Why did the Polish support the dictator Napoleon ?

[@mateuszmaj7979]

​@@michelleclarke8264"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" At that time Poland was under occupation of Russia, Prussia and Austria (partitioned and erased from the maps). Those three countries tried to erase Poland/Lithuania, our culture and people. Napoleon was fighting them and he recreated just small part of Polish state... There was a chance that if Napoleon wins, Poland will gain full independence... So Poles were supporting France - Napoleon and fighting Russia/Prussia and Austria to gain independence. As you can see in the video (Haiti example) when Poles saw that they are used by Napoleon to enslave other nations in other parts of the world. They switched sides there and we're fighting Napoleon alongside Haiti in order to help them gain their independence... hope that I answered your question 🙂

[@jerzy7118]

Because only Napoleon promised independence to the Poles. The enemy of my enemy is a friend. He gave the Poles the Duchy.@@michelleclarke8264

And we keep fighting for what's right. And western countries keep ignoring us. Life....

[@romanromanowski4470]

W Bitwie pod Hodowem, która rozegrała się 11 czerwca 1694 roku, 400 Polskich wojowników pokonało 40000 Tatarów! Tak, na 1 Polaka przypadało 100 tatarów i Polacy wygrali! Osiągnęli sukces o wiele większy niż 300 legendarnych Spartan pod Termopilami. Spartanie choć walczyli dzielnie to przegrali, a Polacy zwyciężyli w bitwie pozornie nie do wygrania.

[@migdaller]

Yes, Ukrainians live (lived) in polish people houses, eat our food, wear our clothes ect, on the border, we give them food, blankets, and even pads or medication. Politicians in Europe said after that poland collaborate with Russia.

[@alcofgod4211]

1920 - The Battle of Warsaw changed the fate of the world. Battle between the Red Army attacking Warsaw and northwest of it and the Polish Army grouped on the Vistula and Wieprz, the decisive battle of the Polish-Bolshevik war. One of the most important battles in the world. I'm surprised it's not in the top 5.

If a refugee wants to work, he will support himself. If not, it is just ballast for the country he came to.

[@zeus243]

Have You forgot about the battle of Vienna (Vienna relief). This battle changed the fate of all of Europe, maybe the world. The betrayal hurt even more in later centuries...

[@twisters999]

Ukrainians are just like us, thats why we love and hate each other to the border of endurence ;D But we will always host each other and help in the times of needs. I lived in Ukraine for some time, and as a Pole I can say one thing. We are the same. But we were shorter and less under the Soviet control. And that makes all the differences we can see now. Слава вам брати And all the best for all of you , viewers ;)

[@echoes222]

listening to you guys reminds me of a south african co-worker (I'm a polish person living in London). I loved her accent, helped her learn the ropes (I was kind of like her supervisor) and even tho I've left long ago, we're stil on friendly terms, and we talk from time to time :) Lieneke, you're the best and I'm sorry I'm such a depressed recluse ^^'

[@mbnqpl]

I'm more right wing type of guy. I know the history of XX very well. I was so happy that we took those poor people. I'm not a rich guy, rather the opposite, I'm sick, I can't work but I've sent so much money I could, I was even buying toys for kids. Thinking that some Ukrainian kid got a teddy bear from me warms my heart. Sadly there is a lot of people who are just stupid, are saying and spreading bad shit, but they are little, good people - we are many. We support and we pray for Ukraine. Greetings from Subcarpathia, Poland.

Sorry if I missed that in comment... Most of us-Polish people adding the Vienna fight... But I think as much as Ottomans' Empire to be stopped in Viena, " The Meracle at Vistula River" is same (or even more) important for todays' Europe. The Poles army stopped the komunizm- stopped RED army to stepped to Europe.

[@user-mt8xv5jm7n]

Poland has a 1,000-year tradition of freedom of speech. Poles are not afraid to say what they think. Sometimes they speak faster than they think. Polish words have less weight than in other languages. Poles who said they "hated" Ukrainians opened their homes to them. Poles who said they "hated" Jews saved them, risking the lives of their families. Poles who said they "hated" blacks died for their freedom. When judging Poles, you should not pay attention to their words, which can be emotional and exaggerated, but to their actions.

[@MrNeofita]

Watching your films and reactions to Polish history, culture, achievements, and food :) you don't realize that you are Polish :) For me you are Polish and that's all :)

[@mastercalabaster9824]

7:54 - Actually, Hungarians were insanely helpful to the Poles during WW2. For real, it is crazy. Even though Hungary and Poland were on the opposing teams (Poland was in the Allies, and Hungary was in the Axis), Hungary refused to allow German Armies to enter Poland through their borders, and then took in many refugees. There was even a Polish Culture Institute in Budapest (Idk if it still is there) that Germans wanted to be closes, but Hungary again refused. Hungarians also provided unparalleled help during the Polish-Soviet war, and fought alongside Poles and against Germans in the Warsaw Uprising (even though Hungary and Germany were still allies).

[@biayorze1822]

Also battle of Grunwald 1410 when Poland, Lithuania and Czechia beats Teutonic Order (currently Germany, Lichtenstein, Austria)

1. Ukrainian refugees. First part of that crisis had started at 2014, when after protests, and antyprotests agression, prorussian president Janukovych fled to Russia, and Russia took Crimea. Than war at Donbas (eastern Ukraine) had started. So when refugees crisis in 2015 had started, in Poland there were already almost 1 mln of Ukrainians (usually they were looking for job - war was lokal, but it's impact on Ukrainian economy was strong). So now You know why Polish didn't wan't refugees and other imigrants from Africa and Asia in 2015. In 2023, at first Polish invaded Ukrainian refugees to their homes - and that is why there were no refugees camps. We aren't talking about thousands, but over 1 mln people. Yes population is split between rightwing and leftwing, but most of rightwing remembers from our history what does it mean "russian invasion". 2. II world war. At first You have to understand not only what plan German had for Jewish people but also for Polish people. They decided that Polish lands will became part of Germany with only Germans living there. So Polish also - in German plan - were sentenced to death. 3 mln of Polish Jews died - everybody knows that, but Germans Killed 5,5 mln of Polish citizens (not only Jews). During accupation they were seeking any reason to kill. So In France for helping Jewish people they had to pay high fine. In Poland whole family, that tried to save Jews were killed. But Polish Underground Country made separate organisation: Żegota, only for saving Jews. 4. In fact communism in Poland was since arriving of the Red Army at 1944-45. For western people the begining of changes was fall of the Berlin Wall. OK, that was a symbol. But it was in early november of 1989 mounths after Polish Round Table and elections. 6. I think that it was another moment when Polish changed a history. Just after I world war, Red Army was advancing west. In Germany (that just lost war) there were strong support for communism. So Soviets decided, that they go to western Europe "through dead body of Poland". At the Battle of Warsaw they were defeated by Polish army, that was smaller. During that war French send to Poland few light tanks and same military advisors. Stronger support we had from Hungary: tons of ammunition.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

During the communist times, a lot of people were imprisoned, brutally tortured and murdered by the communists. Read for instance about Danuta "Inka" Siedzikówna (information accessible also in English), who was a 17 years old girl, imprisoned and murdered, shot by a firing squad, despite that she did never anything wrong (she was helping, as a nurse only, to members of underground anti-communist resistance, but she was helping even the wounded communists if they needed). Very famous are her last words in her letter from communist jail to her grandmother: "Tell my grandma, that I behaved like it should be" (she didn't betray anyone). And also later there were more events when the communists were sending the army to shoot to the civilians at the streets, like in 1956, in December 1970 or during martial law period since 1981. In December 1970 the communists introduced, just before Christmas, sudden increases of prices of basic food products. People started to protest. So they sent army to shoot to them, and to kill ordinary civil people. So it looked like that, in that times.
