Sick of hearing about Pols,

@@Markos581973 In that case, a World War Two History Channel is not for you.

@@Markos581973 I suspect that you might want to find another channel and video then.

There's probably veterans of the next world war watching this now

I remember some years ago watching how one by one the very last veterans of WWI were passing away, each like a closing chapter.

There were plenty veterans (from various sides) that were willing to set the record straight. Unfortunately they weren't listened to, because what they said didn't fit the narratives of the presently powerful.

But their Children and Grandchildren are still around. And We know.

Yes in Gaza ?

Oh man some of the best material is in the long stuff, exploring series and all that

I feel exactly the opposite. Long form is where previously unknown details live.

This one is tough watching. But necessary viewing

So your basically saying look how dumb I am. But I managed to watch one long video....

Exactly! Thank you, Dr. Felton.

Self preservation likely. SS who let these things happen and SS who weren't capable of handling it, would be sent to the front. Ruthlessness sure, but I think the purpose was to capture their efforts to stop the uprising. It wouldn't be in their best interest to be caught on a photo looking inept or merciful.

@@Kee2Oz Not so, but a very commonly believed fallacy. Numerous objectors to various of the atrocities committed by various branches of the German forces, were found after the war, and they were not treated at all badly, they were just returned to the ordinary ranks.

@@Kee2Ozyour offering is exactly what happened,you did your job or were shipped off to Russia.Thank you

They thought they were the good guys????? Most of the footage in Shoah , which we watched in history class back in High school, was filmed by the Nazis.

@@tombergins8215 LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOL

I suggest you listen to the bridge busters!

get a grip man, like touch some grass

Many simply saw communism as the greater evil.

Ukrainian Nazis!-but they don't exist do they 😉

They are still polocks and not worth much...they watched wile the ghetto burned had the numbers and the arms....well russia will be paying them back for that foolishness soon

Poles were not accepted into the Waffen SS

Poland was Nazi Germany's first ally.

Historia Polski to nie jest historia Żydów.

Wonderfully said. It's strange to me seeing the same thing Israel is doing to Palestine as if they didn't receive this treatment themselves. The same flag that flew over Warsaw in an act of defiance is the same flag that flies over the Palestinian people who are doing the same thing the ancestors of Israel had to face. Less than 100 years later....how the tables turn.

@@dmitripazlov491 yep the Israeli and western hypocrisy is astounding.

@@dmitripazlov491 Indeed, the victims become the victimizers.

11:37 the n°z°s even already used the term "te°°orists", probably in much the same way to function as an argument in place of reasoning.

@@dmitripazlov491 If Hamas hadn't ruthlessly attacked Israel back in October, it wouldn't be happening.

Oh how I wish the History Channel was what it once was. †

@@jonathannixon8652You remember it more fondly than it deserves. The history channel has always been 90% fluff and 10% facts. An hour long History Channel program has the equivalent of maybe 5-10 minutes of real information.

That's sad to hear. Have you thought about donating them to a museum so that they will be available to researchers and future generations?

Is she still alive? People often talk about the impending extinction of WW2 Veterans but it saddens me to realize that soon after them anyone who was old enough to remember it at all will be gone.

bar: They were cowards hiding behind the British guarantee to "help" Poland regardless of who began the hostilities. Ironic that after the dust settled Poland became part of the communist sphere of governance. That's karma!

Survival isn’t bravery

@@barrymccokiner7559 they knew that they are going to die this way or another, and they choose to fight instead of going as lambs to the slaughter

@@barfridman Rubbish.

@@BasementEngineer Okay, Nazi.

What a name ! 🤣

the cellmate was Kazimierz Moczarski, an officer of the Polish Home Army (anti-Nazi resistance), arrested by the communists

@@olseneudezet1 You are correct. I asked PERPLEXITY a new chat research gbt and it came up with the answer. It was published in English in 1982. I then went to amazon and located it. I had once thought it would make a good play (I write plays) and when I went to the Amazon site I found it had been dramatised by a Polish dramatist .

'In late May 1947, Stroop was flown to Berlin-Tempelhof Airport, and extradited to the People's Republic of Poland. He was extradited with Erich Muhsfeldt. He recalled, "My heart sank when I saw those Polish officers at Tempelhof. So, the Americans were liars after all! They promised me time and again I'd never be given to the Communists and my death sentence for killing the U.S. airmen would be commuted to life imprisonment."' = wikipedia

Great input. Thanks for that.

@@djholliday5132 Thank you. I don't know if it will interest you or anyone else, but I thought at the time I read the book it would make a good play. But to get the rights to do so would have been very difficult so I gave up on the idea.. While, I was researching the Conversations with an Executioner: on Amazon I discovered that there was a stage adaptation by a Polish author and that the play had been translated into English. The price was a little steep over 125 U.S. Dollars.. Too rich for my blood, but I think my judgment that Stroop's story could be dramatized was validated.

To nie jest symbol powstania warszawskiego tylko żydowskiego w Warszawie nie myl pojęć. To dwie krańcowo odmienne historie.

In January 12 or so SS ware killed. In the April uprising 17 killed and 93 wounded. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising

Those statistics are from SS-Germans themselves. They might be possibly, understated. Not least in case other "undesirables" got ideas.

There was rather resistance, not uprising.

​@@WielkaStopa-qh1rrPotayto, potahto.

to be clear, '44 was the warsaw uprising, '43 was the warsaw gh°°to uprising. the gh°°to was b°mbed, burned and dep°rted out of existence in '43. the general uprising was undertaken by the whole polish resistance, they started it in such a way as to narrowly preempt the advancing red army's capture of the city, to divide german defensive efforts, reduce destruction of the city by avoiding much of the heavy b°mbardment, and assert some degree of security forces function and associated polish political autonomy. this turned out to be a tragic miscalculation, because the soviets decided that opposing that last point of polish autonomy was their priority, so they halted their advance to avoid linking up with the warsaw uprising, and the germans had such a particular hatred for partisans that they prioritized putting down the uprising, before focusing back on the red army and getting pushed out of warsaw. so instead of gaining influence by substantially contributing to driving the germans out of warsaw rather than waiting for the soviets to do it, the polish resistance lost influence by rising up, because this just got a lot of their members k°°led.

Mark always manages to find subjects or details that I was not aware of before. This is a great channel. Mark is the best.

​@@djquinn11maybe because they're made up just for the war that's going on now. Maybe it's " propaganda"

Somewhere online there must be available the series "The World at War" - find it and watch it all. If you have to, buy it as a video/DVD. Nuances will have changed, but the plot will not.

Most of this is on wikipedia...not exactly new info

The Warsaw uprising is relative standard WW2 knowledge… but good you learned something new today.

Surviving isn’t bravery.

@@barrymccokiner7559 Standing and fighting is... which these people did.

(I just read how he was in the Polish resistance and was thrown in prison after 'liberation' by the Communists- which is how he spent time with the demon Stroop)

@@ericcarlson3746 One paragraph stuck with me most: the author observes how Stroop describes the wood in the night sky. A very similar description a Polish poet from the previous century wrote. It seemed that both an artist and a murderer can describe things similarily.

It's awful and twists the truth. It is NOT history.

It s a great book

@@MichelSabbah-mj4jk Okay, but it's not history.

@@KickassUncle umm duh it’s a novel it doesn’t claim to be a historical documentary.

I highly recommend the film Shoah, by Claude Lanzmann. Shoah 2nd Era covers the uprising and 1st hand interviews with 2 Ghetto Fighters. Sincha Rotem is 1 of those fighters. Phenomenal men.

I wonder why that is, it's also the first I've heard of it, probably because the 44 uprising was more politically useful, this is more heroic in my opinion

P.S. That was the only time when many Americans B-17 landed in USSR with Stalin permission. In the Ukrainian republic.

Pretty sure Dr. Felton already done tht video

@@ilovegooogle5073 It's not "American B-17", they were from Washington state.

Cie: Poland had a choice: Side with Germany and negotiate disputes in good faith, or side with the British war mongers. We all know how that worked out for the Poles, don't we?

​@@BasementEngineeryou are a despicable liar

Pretty gay, ain't ya

​@@BasementEngineerexactly

the Poles were centrally organized by the exile government.

@@khairulhelmihashim2510 Be that as it may, they were brave.

Czechs? Are you sure?

@@peterkiedron8949 Both the Poles and the Czechs BOTH tried to put up the best resistance they could with the limited manpower and resources they had.

​@@DmPmRr1959 No, the Czechs needed to send commandos from the UK to kill Heydrich and then lot of them were demonstrating against. While Poles started having special forces before the war, they also prepared to stay behind in caches and even have an out-of-country network. The Czechs did not have underground state with hundreds thousand soldiers, they even did not fight against annexation and were happy with soviet socialism. Even their best pilot- ace was preferring to fight alongside with Poles.

I doubt so.

History is full of brutal misery, senseless violence, and cruel genocide..so your in luck 👍

@@RamblesBramblesimagine if the communist in America get into office when they grow up and graduate college… history would just be whatever they wanted with tons of trigger warnings 😢

Why did it take so long?

@@DennisMSulliva​​⁠He was sentenced to death by the Anglo-American tribunals but was handed over to the Polish courts so they could have their trial, their justice, and to be the ones to personally execute him. This ironically extended his life beyond those who were both sentenced and hanged by the western allies in the Nuremberg Trials. While a lot of those who brought death and destruction to Poland escaped the noose, the western allies did throw the Poles an occasional bone like also allowing the Poles to try and execute Amon Göth, the commandant of Płazow of Schindler’s List infamy.
