I am an English man and I am disgusted at the way the Polish were treated after the war, I am also disgusted that more, much more was not done to help them during the atrocities in the Warsaw ghetto. I am grateful for the fact that twice the Polish saved us from slavery, once from the Nazis and once at the gates of Vienna. For these reasons whenever I meet a polish man I shake his hand in gratitude for the selfless bravery of his forbears.

I'm sorry. You probably confuse two different uprisings that happened in Warsaw. ■ in 1943 it was heroic Ghetto uprising of persecuted Jewish Varsovians. ■ in August 1944 it was Polish national 63 days long Warsaw Uprising - as part of Operation Tempest of Polish resistance.

[@darkmatter7182]

Yes, they were brave but they weren't fighting recklessly. They had totally different tactics than RAF and Luftwaffe. In september 1939 Poland had worst airplanes, they were much slower. Flying Hurricanes polish pilots had an opportunity to fly faster fighters. Technically, they took the advantage of that. The most famous Squadrons of polish pilots were: 302 and 303.

[@Wyattsday251]

Poland is definitely one of the most fighting spirit countries with Bing war torn in World War II. They still stayed strong. Even with 40 to 1 odds against Nazi Germany they held out long enough to keep the retreat for other countrymen in the 3OH!3. What’s the most dominant squadron in the battle of Britain

[@ws6858]

I don't think they ever considered Britain a homeland. They just wanted to kill Germans who invaded their homeland.

[@wknight5595]

A very shortened WWII Polish history lesson: (1) With their minds: Polish mathematical geniuses constructed the 1st enigma machine prototype and blueprint to breaking Germanys enigma code. (2) In The Air: Escaped Polish fighter pilots formed the 3 most effective fighter squadrons during the battle of Briton. The 3 top Polish squadrons were credited with both the highest number of confirmed kills, and kills per lost pilot. Including the legendary 303 Polish RAF squadron depicted so well in this video, the most decorated allies fighter squadron of WWII. (3) On the Ground: In Italy Polish soldiers lead four separate assaults before defeating the Germans in the battle of Monte Cassino. One of the wars most heavily fortified and fiercely defended strategic German strongholds, and one of the costliest resulting in over 55,000 allied casualties. Note: The Polish Army and Polish Air Force under British Command, fought in every WW2 major battle, including the Battle of Britain, Market Garden, Monte Cassino, El Alamein, and D-Day. (4) The saddest of endings: Despite the promises by both Churchill and Roosevelt, both met in secrete with Stalin and agreed let Stalin/USSR keep and occupy Poland. This decision led to decades of abuse and suffering of the whole Polish population up and until the fall of the Berlin wall. As a final insult, on Stalin's request to Churchill the WWII Polish surviving soldiers, pilots, and generals were denied participation in Great Briton's Victory Parade. Honorable mention: In 1940 JOZEF STANISLAW KOSACKI invented the Polish Mine Detector that saved countless Allied lives during the war. I'm getting pretty old now, but my grandparents barely escaped from Poland. Much of my knowledge was passed on to me though my grandfather and father, as nearly all family history and documents were destroyed in the war and later Russian occupation. Of course, this is a surface scratch level history above, but gives some incite and starting points for those who enjoy history research...

Wrong- Poland was billed for the armaments sold to it prior to its defeat. No charge was made for any Polish pilot fighting in the RAF. This should not come as a surprise for the UK itself was still paying its military debts to the US, until after 2010, for equipment the US had provided. Nice try but a fail from another St Petersburg Orc.

I met one of the pilots in the 1990's. He was working as a gardener on occasion for my partners Dad in Forres Scotland. My partner had told me he'd been in the RAF. So, I walked up to him saying 'I heard you were in the RAF in the War.' 'Yes a fighter pilot.' I did the only thing I could think of.....stood up straight properly saluted him, shook his hand then said THANK-YOU. We had a little chat, but when Edith and me went to drive off he came around the house to wave goodbye........I wondered if anyone else had ever thanked him.

Near the end of the war my dad was in the rear turret of a 61 Squadron Lancaster. It was the only op my dad mentioned and he said they were attacked by ME262's. A Lancaster from his Squadron was shot down and one from 50 Squadron too. But escorting Mustangs shot down four of the jets. It wasn't till only a few years ago and many years after my dad passed away that I found out the Mustangs were from 309 and 315 Polish Squadrons. Knocking down 4 of those jets is good going and has been forgotten by history. On that same op 617 Squadron dropped 2 22,000lb earthquake bombs as well tallboys. My dad never mentioned that either

Yarnhub, I keep on becoming more and more astounded and grateful of the beautiful videos that you put up. If it wasn't for the likes of Polish, New Zeleanders, Africans, Czech's and so on we wouldn't have won the Battle of Britain. I remember watching the film and remembering how the British Air Staff - Dowding and heads of command looked down upon the Polish pilots and honestly why? They fought with real aggression and talent, we were losing several hundreds pilots a week due to sortie fatigue, being shot down by overwhelming Luftwaffe forces. The other nations that took part in the battle gave the RAF a much needed selection of pilots to choose. I remember watching 303 squadron and at the end the amount of times that I think about how much they sacrificed for us was overwhelming, we owe the Polish Pilots and the servicemen a massive debt of gratitude!

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

More overblown BS. I thought I'd create a simple "visual aid" in order to assist people learning about the history of the battle of Britain. There is much ongoing debate about the nationalities and proportions of RAF fighter pilots who took part in the battle, with occasionally a furtive aspect which attempts to portray the battle as a victory of "mostly foreign pilots". Below is a graphical representation of the proportion of pilot nationalities serving within RAF Fighter Command during the summer of 1940. Each flag is roughly equivalent to 30 pilots, The numbers after each nation are the ACTUAL number of aircrew from that country, and the approximate percentage of RAF Fighter Command's establishment in the summer of 1940 that they represented. The figures are taken from the RAF records of the awards of the highly coveted "Battle of Britain clasp" to the British 1939-45 Campaign Star. Which was SCRUPULOUSLY only awarded to RAF & Fleet Air Arm aircrew who flew at least one active sortie in the UK in any RAF fighter aircraft between 10th July 1940 and 31st Oct 1940. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 UK (2342) (80%) 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 Poland (145) (5%) 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 New Zealand (127) (4%) 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canada (112) (4%) (1940 flag emoji not available) 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 Czechoslovakia (88) (3%) 🇦🇺 Australia (32) (1%) 🇧🇪 Belgium (28) (1%) 🇿🇦 S.

The 1st Canadian infantry Division stationed south of London around the Leatherhead area in Surrey, Then there was the "2nd Australian Imperial Force" (Australforce) which though nominally comprised of 2 brigades (the 18th & 25th) actually only had the combined strength of a single 8000 man Brigade stationed outside Basingstoke, and finally the "2nd New Zealand Expeditionary force" a grand sounding title that hide the fact that it was comprised of solely the NZ 2nd infantry division which was comprised of 2 understrength infantry Brigade (5th & 7th NZ Inf Brigades). Its two understrength brigades were bolstered by the addition of the BRITISH 1st motor machine gun brigade and was stationed near to Maidstone in Kent. By the time of the expected invasion in Sept 1940 the British army was fielding 2 British Armoured divisions 2 British Armoured tank brigades 15 British infantry divisions (full strength) 7 British infantry divisions (under strength). 7 British independent infantry Brigades 2 British motor machine gun Brigades 1 Canadian infantry division (full strength) (plus some small under equipped subordinate units of a 2nd division) 1 NZ infantry "division" (actually 2 understrength infantry Brigades but with an attached British motor machine gun brigade) 2 Australian infantry brigades (under strength & unequipped) In addition to these forces were the 1,500,000 million men of the British "Home Guard". As you can see, as well as being the ONLY country being threatened by nazism from July 1940 to April 1941, the defence of the UK was a +95% British affair at this early stage of the war. It was in the following years AFTER 1940 that the size of the British Commonwealth forces really started to grow. Glad to have been of help in unburdening you of your misunderstanding in regard of this topic.

It was the UK as a WHOLE and not solely Scotland who provided a safe national home to the refugee Poles after WW2.

On the 30th of August F/O Ludwik Paszkiewicz actually shot down a BF110 of 4./ZG 76. (This was incorrectly recorded as a Dornier Do 17) The crashed Bf 110 was excavated in 1982. Later during the Battle of Britain, it was found that the performance of the twin-engined Bf110 did not match that of the RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires so they had to be escorted into battle by Bf109s! It is this fact that probably led to F/O Ludwik Paszkiewicz miss identifying the aircraft as he probably assumed it was a bomber that was being escorted by Bf109s and not a fighter. Thank you however for an excellent piece of work please keep this up.

[@Pokafalva]

'...Later during the Battle of Britain, it was found that the performance of the twin-engined Bf110 did not match that of the RAF's Hurricanes and Spitfires so they had to be escorted into battle by Bf109s!...' This is incorrect. The only Bf 110 unit that received fighter escort was the fighter-bomber unit Erprobungsgruppe 210, and they received escort because they were classed as 'bombers' and so received escort to get them to the target and unload their bombs. Most of the time their escort came from the Bf 110s of Zerstörergeschwader 26, and on other occasions from the Bf 110s of Zerstörergeschwader 76 and V.(Z)/LG1. Pure Bf 110 fighter units NEVER received Bf 109 escort - that is a myth!

Song: Aces in Exile Album: Coat of Arms Band: Sabaton In the skies above the isle, Aces in exile prevail From near and far they arrived, joined the force Ready to serve the allied command Sent into training though they already earned their wings They were ready fly, they were fit for the fight Once in the air, the battle begins They have proven their worth, now they fly for revenge Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land Let their story be heard, tell of 303rd Fighter pilots from Poland in the battle of Britain Guarding the skies of the isle Even at night shadows cover the ground And the fighting goes on from dusk until dawn With the claw of the Reich with the claw of the eagle They were ready to fly, they were ready to die Up in the air the battle goes on They have proven their worth, now they have their revenge Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land Tell their story again, tell of 310 Men from Czechoslovakia in the battle of Britain Guarding the skies of the isle Over the battlefield brave men long way from home Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die Over the battlefield brave men long way from home Few are the chosen ones sent to the sky to die [Guitar Solo] Fly, it echoes in history Turning the tide in the heavens above Fighter pilots in exile fly over foreign land When the battle has been won, tell of 401 Fighter pilots from Canada in the battle of Britain Guarding the skies of the isle On wings of history they turned from home to live eternally skybound they roam In all of history, never before was more owed to so few Fighter pilots in exile!

I like how you have the old war thunder theme playing in the background!

Did Yarnhub upgrade their art style to be more realistic? I love it, it looks great.

Fighter pilots in exile, flying from foreign land! When the story's been heard, tell of 303rd! Fighter pilots from Poland, in the Battle of Britain, guarding the skies of the Isle!

The amount of detail in this video is amazing, the new looks, more realistic characters, you guys have really outdone yourself with this one

[@mirekkudzia7052]

One documentary called The Bloody Foreigners by National Geographic tells the story. By the way, superb animation! Thank you for your hard work to honour heroes.

[@chopstick266]

No its just more bs and disinformation, spinning facts and statistics, and telling an incomplete narrative to big up the Polish.

[@codycallaway9057]

I've watched that documentary many many many times

«Dywizjon 303» by Arkady Fiedler is a book that described the heroic actions of the 303 squadron. It is really worth reading, amazing book

The Battle of Britain is one of my favorite topics of WW2 that I have researched. Also great touch with adding the music from the final battle of the movie Battle of Britain, and War Thunder's Soviet Union Victory Theme.

I've noticed that the characters (I'll say generally) have been improved once again by your team. It looks very good and I'm very impressed! I've been watching all of your videos as soon as I can and the growth I've seen is beyond excellence. I am very proud of you guys and I hope that you all are doing wonderful. Your work is always impressive and appreciated by me. Watching channels grow and improve make me happy, stay safe, and for the sake of the seasons rounding the corner, happy holidays to all of us!

[@johnr7279]

Love the number 303. Significant both because of the number of this squadron and the .303 Lee-Enfield round. Also love it when there are a group of folks who, even to other allies are considered "foreign" and folks may be hesitant to accept them. But then the succeed in spite of any doubts. Reminds me a bit of the mostly-Japanese-American 442nd Regimental Combat Team who ended up being the most decorated US Army unit of the war.

[@michaelkevinmirasol8256]

Wow the graphics are more realistic than ever before! Even the textures of their faces seem unimaginably rendered beautifully. Kudos Yarnhub for these marvelous improvements!

The most succesful foreign pilot in the Battle of Britain (with 18 victories), a Czech František Josef, was also serving with the 303rd sqn. Unfortunately, he died in a crash on the 8th of October 1940.

[@stephenfarthing3819]

I remember watching the Battle of Britain film and the 303 Squadron was mentioned - one poor Polish pilot got shot down over Norfolk. I think and he bailed out - landed safely was encountered by farmhands - his English was not too good. Knew enough to say " Good Afternoon!" But was taken to be Luftwaffe and escorted to the Police Station under threat of pitchforks. Hmm - I absolutely cracked up with that! After that, he took to learning English as quickly as possible. I don't think that he wanted to repeat THAT experience!

[@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684]

He announces "Good afternoon" in broken English to the farmhands apporaching with pitchforks..... to which the burly farmhand replies "Good afternoon my ARSE!!!"
