Poland was the only european country that never gave up during WW2. All the years the germans were there, the underground army kept fighting.

Most Americans have no idea about how much Poland contributed to the war. Me having Polish grandparents, I learned this at a very young age. Despite American/Western ignorance, KZfaq has done a lot to increase the respect of Poland.

Najsmutniejsze jest to, z jakim zaskoczeniem on to ogląda... Jestem ciekaw czego się oni uczą na historii. Pewnie tylko tego jak Francja i Wielka Brytania były zajebiste

I have seen this probably 500 times already and each time when I hear: "because we do not beg for freedom we fight for it" I have tears in my eyes :) Yes, I'm Polish...

,, Bo my nie błagamy o wolność my o nią walczymy " 🇵🇱

No, it wasn't related to Czesław Niemen. If you rewind a bit you can see names written in Yddish changing into Polish. That's how they were saving Jewish children - by smuggling them out of ghetto, giving them Polish names, baptism acts, teaching them catholic prayers in polish orphanages or polish families. They were making lists of saved children - their real names and new names, their new adresses - to make possible family reunions after war. They hid the lists in the jars and buried to keep it save. The nurse was Irena Sendler, working for organisation that was saving Jews from Jewish ghetto in Warsaw.

At 3:40 minutes, a woman is shown taking pictures. She's not just any woman. This is the James Bond of the Polish resistance movement - the Home Army. Teodora Żukowska ps. "Milena". The most valuable agent of the Home Army in Warsaw. The daughter of an Austrian archaeologist and a mother of German-Czech origin, who had multinational roots, knew German from an early age. When her parents divorced, she lived with her father in Vienna for a few years, and then, from the age of twelve, in Poland, where her mother married a distinguished soldier of the Legions, Captain Jerzy Rolecki. In 1936, Teodora accepted Polish citizenship, and a year later she graduated from the University of Warsaw and started working in law. The beautiful Teodora, who knew the language of the occupiers very well, clearly caught the eye of the head of the German counterintelligence in Warsaw. In any case, it was he, SS-Sturmbannführer Ernst Kah, who offered her an office job. On the advice of Stanisław Molenda, a pre-war superior from work in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, acting in the underground, she took a job in the office of the governor of the Warsaw district in the internal affairs department, and from 1940 - in the justice department. The saying that the darkest place is under the lantern has proved true. When, with the consent of the leadership of the Home Army underground, "Milena" signed the volkslist, she gained access to even more valuable information - initially as a secretary, and then as a clerk. She submitted reports to the ZWZ / AK - first to Molenda from BIP, and then directly to the counterintelligence of the Warsaw District. Among many important documents, she provided the monthly reports of Governor Fischer and even stole his confidential speech from his subordinates on August 10, 1943. As soon as it reached the Home Army Headquarters, it was disseminated in the underground Information Bulletin. It was thanks to its detailed materials (description, address, brand and registration number of the Opel admiral car on SS 20795 plates) that it was possible to carry out a successful attack on the executioner of Warsaw, Franz Kutschera, the SS and Police commander on the Warsaw District of the General Government. "Milena" also provided information, included in the report of the Home Army General Assembly of July 18, 1944, addressed to the commander of the Warsaw-City district, on the reduction and changes in the capital's uniformed forces, partially replaced by national defense units. When five days later Governor Fischer ordered the evacuation of women from the German offices of the capital, she faced a serious dilemma: stay or leave? The command of the Home Army decided to leave the city. (...) [Teodora] left for Austria, where she worked in the Lufthansa repair plant until the end of the war. In 1946, she left for Great Britain, and a year later she returned to Poland. She lived in Radość near Warsaw and worked in foreign trade centers. On July 20, 1949, she was arrested by the Security Office. Imprisoned without a sentence for nearly four years, she was interrogated by the executioners of the secret police, including Józef Light and Jacek Różański. The perpetrators tried to extract from it testimony pointing to the alleged cooperation of the Home Army counterintelligence with the Gestapo. She was released from prison shortly after Stalin's death on April 25, 1953, and five years later the proceedings against her were discontinued for "no evidence of guilt." In the years 1969-1971, she published a series of memoirs on the occupation work in the governor's office of the Warsaw district. According to Professor Tomasz Szarota, she was one of the greatest figures of the Polish Underground State. The Home Army Headquarters awarded her with the Gold Cross of Merit with a Sword, and in 1976 she received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.

Poland is a country that truly stood the meaning of " Never Give up ", even without the allies help. They still fight for independency of their country. But at the end, they were betrayed by the allies. They never give recognition to Poland who helped them fought the Nazis and also left them to the Soviets to controlling their land. But Poland still resist to achieve independency and they've done it. Poland in WW2 are not to be fuck with.

I'm Polish and I always have tears in my eyes when I watch this movie.

The geographic location of Poland between Russia and Germany forced us to have the last quote engraved in our hearts

"Black Devils - is one of the most famous Polish troops taking part in the Second World War. The 1st Armored Division, commanded by General Stanisław Maczek, consisted of volunteers, soldiers in exile.

Everything in this video is true at a glance. My great-grandmother was sent to a concentration camp together with my grandmother because she helped Jews. The big players want no one to hear about Poland, and ideally it should not exist at all, it has been like that for hundreds of years. Bravery for our homeland is in our blood. Thank you for the film.

This video presents the truth, I am glad that this video has reached other people, I am glad that you know our history, honor and glory to the heroes free Poland

Polish mathematicians Marian Rejewski, Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki broke the cipher of the German cipher machine "Enigma", and then developed methods allowing for regular reading of German ciphertexts.

Poland Born to fight ! Bóg Honor Ojczyzna !

It stunning how so many people don't know about the general history of Poland from school. Cause Poland as it is know was a big part of the WW2. As a Pole im really proud of the history of my country :]

I'll tell you a fun fact: type the word "weapon" into the translator and most languages will pop up or you'll hear: armes, armas, armi, etc. Which comes from the word "arm" and as my teacher explained to me years ago it meant to extend the hand or the arm. In our case, it's "broń" which comes from the word defend, defend youself.

Poles have always been brave, fearless defenders of Christianity! They are our Slavic brothers .... Greetings from Serbia for the Polish brothers

Ten film powinien oglądnąć cały świat!!

I could watch that video millions of times, it never gets boring or loses intensity. A great production indeed!

Geography Now is a cool channecl in general, and the Polish "episode" is pretty accurate as well, I recommend.

Goal was also to occupy the Baltic States (Lituania, Latvia, Estonia - now members of EU). Molotov (Russia) - Ribentrop (Germany) pact was signed. We commemorate this sad day in Lithuania.

Jestem dumna z mojego kraju. Bóg honor ojczyzna ✝️💪🇵🇱

Im from Poland and im cry when i watching this video. Greetings from Poland.

Nasz naród idzie do nieba przechodząc przez piekło

IPN- Instytut Pamieci Narodowej. Institute of National Remembrance

I get goosebumps thinking about our history and the courage of these people. I am proud of my country and I hope that people can learn from these events and prevent them in the future. Politicians fight wars and ordinary people suffer.

Czeslaw is a regular Polish name. Thos were only a examples of names.

My family participated in saving Jewish children. They where given conspiracy Polish names. It is what I understand those names above them are about.

My grandma was taken to slave work for the germans at the beginning of the war. She was only 10. She was taken away from her family. Her father and mother killed. All the brothers and sisters taken to slave work. This kind of stuff scars you for life. She's 93 now. She was robbed of her childhood, education, family. When she returned home she worked full time job and after that she was helping cleaning up Warsaw, rebuilding the city, just like many other people did. I think today we just don't get the horror of those times. And to see Russia invade Ukraine is just heartbreaking. Because it's obvious that we as people never learn. We still put money and power above human lives. It's just terrible to see. I'm glad that people in my country are helping the Ukrainians as much as they can. Because we remember, we know what it's like.

Present from England! 🇬🇧

Whenever I watch a film about the history of Poland, I cry😢

That will be very interesting! I have a lot roots in Poland ❤🤗

It seems like its a great business idea to react for Polish things on KZfaq in recent years and to be honest as a Pole I feel proud of my country and polish people, especially people who ask english-speaking youtubers to react for our videos because its one of the best ways I thing to show our country in the best light. Nothing will make better advertisement for our country than social media nowadays.

Poland im so proud of you I'm Polish to

The lady is Irena Sendlerowa she saved over a 1000 kids by transporting them in her little nurse car and she had a special trained dog that was barking when kids were loud and when dog detected german "soldiers". And also we created organization ZEGOTA that was for save Jewish people

My greatgrandfather was murdered in Katyn and his wife and daughters deported to Kazakhstan.

Sprawdź historie Misia Wojtka który nie doczekał się wolnej Polski pozoro✌️

from 3:00 -1st Armourded Division, No. 303 Squadron RAF , Cichociemni, Irena Sendlerowa, Witold Pilecki and his Report 'W' (greatest hero in my opinion), Warsaw Ghetto uprising, Warsaw Uprising, Marian Rejewski enigma code breaker

For Polish, the war lasted from 39 to 89. 50years Not 6 as for the rest of the world

Fajnie że ktoś pamięta o Polsce / It's nice that someone remembers about Poland

Check "Poland first to fight!" for more about WWII and Polish soldiers. In this video, the facts are presented in a fun way :D

The voicing of narration comes from no other but Sean Bean - famously known from dying, at least in the script of many movies . Perfectly coincidental to the gloom of the video content!

Nigdy USA Angli Francji nie zapomnimy

Szkoda ze nie zobaczył też wcześniejszej historii od zawsze byliśmy wojownikami :D

My grandfather was born somewhere in germany while his mother was taken pregnant to work for nazis in slavery. To his very last days in May 2023 he was getting veteran's pension from the Polish government as a victim of world war II. Rest in peace grandpa, you were the best!

and General Urbanowicz at the end. Now you know everything

Zawsze mam sreszcze jak ogladam ten filmik o naszej histori

Thank You ♥️ Im Polish

My dalej o wolność musimy walczyc,jesteśmy nękani przez Niemców w Unii ,traktowani jesteśmy jak ludzie drugiej kategorii,mamy taki sam sposób wybierania sędziów jak Niemcy ale oni zarzucają nam brak praworządności,mówią że mamy gorsza kulturę.Mowi to naród który do tej pory nie zapłacił reparacji za zniszczenia w czasie wojny.Innym krajom w tym ostatnio Italy,która z Niemcami współpracowała w czasie wojny.Niemcy chcą przejac kontrolę nad Polską i innymi krajami Europy i pozbawić nas w bezkrwawy sposób suwerenności,w Polsce przejęli już wiele firm,fabryk,bankow .Niemcom ich fanatyczne samouwielbienie każe dalej zniewalac narody udając ,że są pokojowo nastawieni. Swiat nic nie wie o podłości Niemiec!!!Z drugiej strony Polski jest Rosja,pięćdziesiąt lat w niewoli komunizmu,a kim jest Rosja już Świat wie,to zagrożenie dla Europy .Jestem dumna ,że jestem Polką.♥️🇵🇱♥️

Polska moim domem, moją miłością, moją twierdzą...

Thank you!

Thank you for watching. Very well.

Minor misstep. They should mention that Polish destroyer has 1on1 duel with Bismark and not only survived. It humiliated that battleship, though unfortunately unit was too light to cause larger damage.

To byly Zajebiste Granice

Oglądam i łzy cisną się do oczu, tak jestem Polką i jestem dumna z naszego walecznego narodu KOCHAM POLSKĘ MÓJ KRAJ i jak przyjdzie znowu o nią walczyć Będę walczyć☝️👊 choć jestem kobietą🇵🇱

WE DO NOT BEG FOR FREEDOM .. WE FIGHT FOR IT

We are still strong. Yeah... On paper everything look perfect. In reality? Oh boy.

We don't beg for freedom we fight for IT!

Actually the voice of the actor, Sean Bean, telling the story, gives additional effect 🤩

Never try to take our freedom...

God, Honour, Fatherland. We never give up

From IPNTV there are 2 more in this style. Unconquered: trying times is about 1918-1939 and is prequel to this one. Game of independence is About forming independent state after WW1

5:48 - "That's ungrateful" Yes it is - to sold your allied that fight from very begin to bitter end.

You are a teacher, Bro. Teach them please.

There was only a lack of Polish soldiers at the victory parade, so as not to irritate Russia, and were present on all fronts of World War II; on the eastern front, in Africa-Tobruk in Europe, 60 percent of intelligence messages came from Polish intelligence, they broke the Enigma code, which the English somehow remain silent about, the pilots defended England, were at sea, provided weapons for the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto, helped to hide Jews for which only in Poland the death penalty was threatened and Jews slander Poles anyway. The West sold Poland to Stalin and in this way they thanked the Poles for their bloodshed.

Polskie Legendy

Czesław niemen was a singer, but it was popular name back then.

The nurse saving Jewish kids is most likely Irena Sendler. Rescued Jewish kids were given christian cover names. Irena recorded the kids real names and their cover identities and then buried the records in jars so that the kids could be reunited with their identities and families after the war. "Life in a Jar" tells this story.

The part that always gets me, "The Iron Curtin falls.".

Hi i am from Polend and i love my country

Poland is the mother of all Europe, Poland takes all the blows, and although Poland gives its heart for everyone, it is always insulted and betrayed. It's sad but true. Poland is Honor and Courage! Poland is everything that other nations lack!!!!!!

Our history is hard… but When somone in another country ask me where I’m from I sooo pround I can say „I’m from poland”

Polecam dywizjon 303, w końcu walczyli w Waszym kraju ... choć jest tam wzmianka o lotnictwie ...

Im from poland and i think polish soldier is real heros

❤❤❤

I'm Polish, and if i can give advice - if You want visit Poland go to Kraków. You have there Aushwiz - concentration camp,Nowa huta which is city build in Soviet occupation, a lot museum with polish history and art from that time etc. (Warsaw was almost destroy in XX2 so you don't have to much old buildings) . in Cracow there is Kazimierz ,that's before XX2 war was part of city belong to Jude's. Kraków is full of history (not only from XX2 war for example there is Wawel castle with dragon that spitfire ;) ...... .

Over 1000 Years of Polish history very big amount of wars and even once we didint beg for freedom ,we only fought for it...

That nurse was Irena Sendlerowa she saved over 20000 jewish kids

We do not beg for freedom. We fight for it.

Czesław Niemen was a singer and composer. In this spot of the film you can see simplification (as the whole clip is just history in a pill) of Irena Sendler, who was risking her life to save jewish children during the war. Yed Washem (Israel) after the war named her as Righteous Among the Nations.

Taka jest Nasza historia 💪💪🇵🇱❤️

This is Poland!!!🤍❤we Are Poland!!!!!

About the names in the Jewish part of the video Polish people took in Jews, especially the children, gave them new names, birth certificates, and family histories, and helped them escape to the family in the West or to other Polish families who would adopt the children. And don't forget that Poland was the only country where hiding/helping Jews was punishable by death, or rather execution, because you were shot on the spot along the Jews you hid.

we do not beg for freedom we fight for it

Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱👍

My brother-in-laws great grandpa was murdered during the Katyń Massacre. My dad’s moms neighbors family were all killed by the Nazis for hiding Jews, including an infant. Also my dad’s uncle was put into a Labor camp during the war. He was forced to move to Germany from Poland, but luckily at that camp he met his eventual future wife. They both moved to the U.S. in the 1950’s. It’s different hearing about atrocities like this happening and actually having family members that have stories where they actually witnessed or lived it.

We don't want wars, but we will fight if necessary

Every time i see, shock on people from outside Poland on what Poland must suffer during WW II I start think: "What on bloody hell are you learning on history?" "How awesome was France or GB?"

it will stay that way, we are not begging for freedom, we will fight for it

No fajnie mam się i nawzajem

4:03 {read: Cheswav}

In poland this ,,paratroopers" are called cichociemni so well trained commandors (its not translation)

No no if you look at it earlier 3.52 about we save Jewish ( first Jewish names after that change to Polish names like Jan, Czeslaw to make them Polish

00:18 A bardzo dobrze dziękuje

greetings from Dąbrowa Górnicza its in Śląsk

Hey Mate. It is not Czeslaw Niemen. These are just the names. There were many poles saving Jews, yet the most famous one is Irena Sendlerowa. Check her out. I think the part of the moie is a tribute to her as she saved hundreds of children while working for child department during WWII.

Make "trying times"

👍
