The Warsaw Uprising broke out on August 1, 1944. It ended on October 3, 1944. But the Russians entered Warsaw only on January 17, 1945. What were the Germans doing at that time? They plundered what they could and systematically destroyed Warsaw building after building. At that time, the Russians did not disturb them in any way. Urban losses amounted to approx. 84 percent (industrial buildings - 90 percent, residential buildings - 72 percent and historic buildings - 90 percent).

The Poles captured 2 panthers, 2 half tracks, and at least one jagdpanzer 38t (hetzer). They also had car mechanics bolt steel plates, a homemade flamethrower, and a machine gun onto a truck in 2 weeks before the uprising to form a crude armoured car they called Kubus. Amazingly Kubus survived the war and is now in a polish museum.
This should be taught more in school when everyone is taught about ww2 this uprising should be mentioned more it’s the least it deserves. This is such a sad event the people who did it must have been extremely brave. Sadly the Allies understandably but still shamefully abandoned Poland to the Soviets because they weren’t willing to fight for Poland freedom either diplomatically or with violence.
@@bastiangaete2419 Well it would pretty insane to declare war on the USSR, especially that US wasn't expected to ever join the war, it was just UK and France. And to their credit the British didn't just agree to German terms which were pretty favourable after the fall of France and they prefered landing troops in the Balkans which would challenge Stalins reign over Eastern Europe.

So that the fighting city, that is this close Won't call my lack of movement by the name of - _BETRAYAL_ But the staff is silent, as are the sweet flag's sprouts Between which I've been hidden from those who are waiting For _Ruskiy Tank_ will not be fighting for the Polish For _Ruskiy Tank_ shall wait - until they are gone When the uprising burns out with a dark flash They shall start my engine, letting the machine's blood flow again So that I may look upon the city, which is so close Without a fight, conquering debris and ruins!
There are also tons of Polish songs, either written during the uprising, or referencing it. My personal favourite is this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This love of ours is the strangest of all For she came to us, among the rattle of guns Though not called for, she came to us first During the time when on the streets a great ball was happening She was there with us, during the hot days When the side walks were being washed down with blood Through the crazy days, and starry nights She was our smile, a song, a tear.

There is polish movie Miasto '44 (eng. title Warsaw '44) from 2014 about this Uprising. Or very famous movie "The Pianist" from 2002 but it is life in Warsaw throughout the whole war.
After the war Poland was technically independent but it was ran by the communist government installed by the Soviet army (like in most of Eastern Europe and Balkans), and since Poland was pretty much the frontline in case of a war with the West there was a strong Soviet army presence till the end. The pro democratic Polish elites and Polish troops who fought with the Allies usually remained in exile in the West because returning to Poland often meant getting a death sentence for spying for the West by communist kangaroo courts, they were just too dangerous to the Soviet regime to let them live. In all of Eastern Europe there was a strong anti soviet sentiment and desire for actual independence, but since it was Russia's backyard nothing could be done to help those countries. If US or other NATO countries decided to intervene in situations like the Hungarian anti-soviet revolution in 1956 it would be like the Soviets intervening in Mexico from the US perspective, they just woulndn't be able to let it fly. That area was pretty much lost when Allies decided to focus their efforts in France and Italy instead of making landings in Greece and Poland.
How exactly would they have made landings in Poland? They had to get through Denmark and Norway first, and the German navy may have been largely ineffective at the end but you don't need a lot of u boats in the baltic to kill a lot of men on transports. Also logistics would be hard to get if they even could do it, and the Soviets wouldn't agree to that. Getting us and British troops in France alone was hard enough, going through the straits of Denmark and to the polish and northern German coast was not exactly possible at the time, they invented the amphibious landers specifically for D-day. They also had to make sure they held the front in France and Italy.
@@luckyassassin1 Well they wouldn't need to hold the front in France if they never invaded France and just went through Greece and the Balkans, that could cut off Soviets from Europe.
@@Mason1968PL the balkans and northern Greece are mountainouse rough terrain with well fortified bunkers and defensive works. They were struggling with the same type of terrain in Italy at the moment. Going through the balkans and Greece was suicidal and they had poor intelligence in the area and they didn't have proper maps of anything aside from France, they also had the option of close airsupport, easy resupply and naval support and sabotage in France, it was the easiest and most logical place to invade from, and the Italian navy still existed in the Mediterranean sea, do you think they'd just sit back and relax while an allied amphibious invasion of Greece happened? Seriously none of your points here make sense for why France was a bad option when jt was thr only one available and the easiest one to do and even that operation took so much effort and counter intelligence work to pull off that it's still considered a god damned miracle. Also the nations involved were fighting in the Pacific too, they only had enough equipment and ships for one invasion in Europe.
@@luckyassassin1 Allies could have done completely nothing in Europe since 1943 the Soviets would have won regardless so it really doesn't matter where they invade. Invading in the Eastern Europe at least would give their Allies who they promised to defend a chance at getting actual freedom after years of massacres and destruction. But they just left them to the Soviets who also invaded them in 1939. And if it's impossible to do then they shouldn't promise Poland protection. Poland should have just agreed to whatever Germans wanted in 1938/39 and they would be better for it.
@@Mason1968PL the germans planned on invading regardless because they staged a border skirmish between their troops, they dressed their own men up in polish uniforms and shot at eachother and used it as a justification for war and stated to the soviet union that they would invade regardless of if poland agreed to their ultimatum, so agreeing would have just given the germans and easier time because the land they wanted contained most of the polish defensive works. They did the same thing to czechoslavakia. Also the invasion point and fronts of the war and zones of control were agreed upon nearly a year in advance of the invasion. They agreed to leave the east to the Russians and take the west. So they couldn't invade in poland without potentially starting a diplomatic shit storm with the Soviets who were threatening to sign an armistice with the germans if they didn't invade in France and open that 2nd front. It's also harder to defend 2 fronts on opposite sides of the continent than it is to defend one big front on one side of the continent with good defensive terrain while the enemy lacks reliable supply and artillery and armor and air support. Invading France was the only option because they tried Italy and got bogged down, and it was going to stretch german manpower to it's limit. If they landed in poland or Greece the war would've lasted longer, cost more lives and left more allies occupied by the germans still. Also Yugoslavian partisans had their area pretty well dealt with at the time, they legitimately liberated themselves with minimal help from the allies, sending troops there would've only made a more chaotic and tense situation.
@@katkacerasvswhat hint? All of the UB - urząd bezpieczeństwa were under the super vision of NKVD. Hell all Major economic and political decisions after the II WW in Poland were not made in Warsaw but at the Kremlin, until 1989. And it was all thx to Yalta and Roosevelt who did give Poland to Stalin. And that is why not a single Pole was invited to victory parade in London, they did not want uncle Stalin mad. To make it Clear to you and easy, 1945-1989 we were like Belarus is today, a russian satelite state.

Jewish gettos where created by Jews them selves. Germans announced they do not seek to fight them and ask them to get in gettos. Because they fight only Poles. At the begining life in getto was good. They where living in their closed enclaves like always did. Jewish comunity never gave money or man power to support Poland in struggle against natzi germany invading. Life in gettos where peacefull and good. While they had rich people there. They had something like lottery where people chosen where relocated to better place. Thats why they where traveling with all t heir lugagges. Cos they where thinking they go to better place. In time food and wealthy runn out. Evrything turned in to hell and it was clear that germans lied to them and sad truth start being revealed slowly. No one outside gettos know what is going on inside for long time til Underground Polish army send spies in. Than Underground army send spy Witold Pilecki to those concentration camps to figure out what is really going on. Than Polish representant Jan Karski was send with message to save Jews to United Kingdome, our voice had being ignored. Than to United States. No one wanted to belive in Underground Army Report. There was death penalty for helping Jews. But we Poles still where trying to save them. My family in small town Milanowek saved 3 Jewish families. There maby voices that Polish people where not good to Jews. But know this for any kind of snitching or murdering Jew Polish Underground Army was giving sentence of death and send executors to commence it. German officers where scared of this and knew that 80 hanged Polish man for 1 german is not most optimistic vision knowing A.K executor will come for them if they pull over the string. Germans found how to overide Polish underground Army rules. Germans start using Jewish citizens who where looking not like typical Jews to snitch on his brethren! Who help them who hide them. Because they where Jews them selves they could not being killed by Underground army executors. This was the paradox. One of te AK executors spot one of this snithches coming out of home of my family and followed him. To the gestapo main entrance in Milanowek town. Than he decided to shoot him plain in head. This action saved my family, three Jewish families to. But This executor man was now sentenced to death by gestapo and Polish Underground Army Court! He had to flee. Can you imagine? Life in Poland was worse than living in nightmarish matrix!

In my ancestry are 2 brothers one who fought as one of the defenders in the original invasion and one who fought as part of the resistance both thought 5he other was dead but they both immigrated to America via elis island and eventually found each other many years later , all of this is documented in a book called uncommon in America that chronicles those 2 brothers and their descendents all the way down to me and my brother and cousins
Hi kit, you should watch part 2 to this. It deals with the music video that they made for uprising. And the liberation of Paris Glad you’ve done this one. This was my personal favourite song when I first stated following Sabaton.
The sad part imo and very crazy is that the poles literally had to wait for the Wehrmacht to be fully occupied with the Soviets so they couldn’t reallocate any Wehrmacht divisions to put down the Uprising only for the Poles to instead have to face SS divisions instead of Wehrmacht divisions that immediately start destroying the city with no regard for anything. Because the SS were basically just a worse version of the Wehrmacht that was more nazified. They mentioned that the Germans even sent Russian SS Division to crush the uprising I’m shocked at the fact that that Russian SS division was still intact at this point, they also sent the SS Dirlewanger division there that was a SS division built up of only criminals whose leader was an actual child rapist not joking look it up. So that must have backfired even more for the Poles sadly. Dirlewanger brigade en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirlewanger_Brigade All this for them to be betrayed by the Soviets too. :/
it should be added that during the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans were helped by Ukrainians "SS Galizien", they hated Poles as much as the Germans, the Ukrainians were also more brutal than the Germans.
There were many Poles in Soviet armies, but Polska Armia Tadeusz Kościuszko was fighting on this front, and from this armi Poles volunteered to help the Warsaw uprising. Unfortunately, they paid with their blood. My father was there.
Niektórym oddziałom Polskim odebrano dostawy amunicji by swoją artylerią nie mogli wspomagać Powstancow ostrzałem artyleryjskim z za Wisły. Wielu zaś z tych którzy próbowali przedrzeć się do Warszawy zgineło. Poza tym bombardowanie Warszawy mogło być co najmniej utrudnione przez lotnictwo Sowietow ale ci nic w tym kierunku nie robili przez co Ju-87 latały sobie spokojnie beż osłony. Ponad to zabroniono Aliantom Zachodnim lotów wahadłowych nad Francja - Warszawa - wyzwolone tereny Polskie za Wisłą. Loty które miały w jedną stronę nieść pomóc Powstańcom w drugą biorąc ładunki bomb i atakować pozycje Niemieckie w Polsce, przez co pomagać Powstańcom.
Since Sparty mentioned their WW2 channel, please make sure to watch their video from the WW2 channel on sir Carton de Wiart (the unkillable soldier) as well as the sabaton history video on the unkillable soldier, the sabaton history focuses only on his WW1 exploits and he did a ton of stuff between the wars and during and after WW2 as well and the special from their WW2 channel adds a lot of his story!
The captured German tank wasn't a Leopard obviously, but a Tiger. They captured, in fact, two tanks. One was "legit," but the second one was a trap - it blew up after it was captured and killed dozens of Polish fighters. US bombers were flying as well from Brindisi in Italy to Warsaw's rescue. Several of them were shot down, and some of American fliers were killed. After the war, they were buried in Powazki National Cemetary in its Avenue of Distinguished. The people of Warsaw still remember them; fresh flowers are always on their graves.
I really don't think the order matters other than that it would help to ensure that you watch them all. IMO skip around all you want and hit the ones that interest you the most.
The Brits raised the Polish Parachute Brigade with the promise that when Poland rose up they would be dropped into Poland. With the Warsaw rising ongoing they were refused to be sent to Poland. Instead they were dropped into Arnahm as part of Market Garden. The Poles serving in the RAF offered to fly supplies into Warsaw and were refused. There were a couple of supply drops late in the uprising but by then most of the supplies landed outside the small area still held by the Poles.
What the Dirlewanger brigade did on the eastern front is some of the most sickening behavior i have ever read about. You should really check up on those sick sick individuals, but you need a very strong stomach. Greetings from Denmark.
Only Poland captured Moscow on its own. September 8, 1610. Zolkiewski at the head of the Polish army entered Moscow, where he ruled for two years. He thus went down in history as the only man to do so. At that time Moscow was under foreign rule and this feat was never repeated by anyone later.
you know, in reality Stalin and Hitler were great buddies who had a fight, fought each other to the death but sometimes one helped the other, or one did not bother the other. Today in Poland the symbolism of Nazism and communism is forbidden. All monuments to the victory of communism and the Red Army have been removed. For Poland these were not victories but defeats and a change of occupant. I recommend checking who Vasily Blokhin was - the man is suspected of single-handedly carrying out 50,000 executions and over 11,000 are proven and confirmed by documents. In Russia he is still a hero buried with honors in a place for the distinguished.
Konkluzja tego wszystkiego nasuwa się sama, a mianowicie zostaliśmy zdradzeni przez naszych sojuszników z którymi wspólnie walczyliśmy na drugim froncie, których wspieraliśmy i obroniliśmy przed podobnym losem jaki przypadł Polsce podczas wybuchu II WW kiedy podczas Bitwy o Anglię w 1940 roku walczyliśmy i obroniliśmy ich wolność, kiedy zdobywając Monte Cassino otwieraliśmy drogę na Rzym, kiedy złamaliśmy kod Enigmy dzięki czemu ratując tysiące jak nie miliony istnień ludzkich, zdobywając dane wywiadowcze o V1 i V2, wysyłając dowody na eksterminację narodu żydowskiego w obozach zagłady oraz wiele wiele innych dowodów na to jak bliskie są nam Polakom ideały i wartości Wolnego Świata. Jedynie co nas za to spotkało to zdrada w Jałcie i oddanie nas pod strefę wpływów komunistycznej rzeczywistości na następne 45 lat.
There is this idea that allies won the war after D-day. Reality is very far from that. It was really only after battle of the bulge that Allied got the real upper hand, and that ended in 25 of January 1945. After that the front was pushed forward quite rapidly. The issue is that jet aircraft that was produced in quite significant number, and also was superior to there prop counterpart ironically solved Germany fuel problem. This was a huge issue for the allies Germany now didn´t have to fight with one hand behind there back. Crussing Germany fast was very important. Hence War in Germany was prioritized over the war in Japan
Sorry, but the Western Allies, i.e. the US and GB, could have forced Stalin to help. Stalin was dependent on an IV drip from overseas, without American canned goods, Studebackers and generally all the help he would still be defending himself near Leningrad and Moscow. If the Allies had ordered all the convoys on the Atlantic to turn back, Stalin would have immediately rushed to help Warsaw. But Roosevelt was under Stalin's spell and considered him a "good" leader. Churchill saw what was coming but was in too weak a position to get between Stalin and Roosevelt. Roosevelt also opted for a second front coming from Italy and cutting Europe in half straight to Gdansk, so that the Allied troops would cut Poland off from the Soviets, but Roosevelt did not accept the idea and landed in Normandy, which brought Poland half a century of Russian occupation and Sovietization. All those who were against the new communist government followed the Germans to Siberia... what the Nazis could not kill was finished by the communists. Thanks Allies, we are very grateful to you, after the Battle of London, after Monte Cassino, after the liberation of Holland, after breaking the Enigma, that you sold us out like that. Personally, I have a greater hatred for the French and the British today than for the Germans. The Germans did not hide their feelings for us and were honest in their own way, while the French and the British pretended to be friends to reap the benefits when Poland was suffering, they did not help in 1939 despite our alliance obligations, and in 1945 they sold us out to Stalin cynically and without scruples. Is this how the Allies act? The Polish raison d'état should be a complete lack of trust in the French and the British. If they sold us out twice, I would not like to be wrong a third time. If they were loyal, after the "Iron Curtain" moved 1000 km to the east, they would have moved their bases from Germany closer to the threat. Why does Rammstein still exist in this place when the threat is much further to the east? For now, however, NATO partners maintain very modest forces in Poland compared to what they still maintain in Germany. From what I see, I sincerely believe that in the event of a conflict with Russia, Poland will remain alone on the front line because what NATO has in Poland can be evacuated in one day.
I recommend this video. ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html It's painting a bigger picture of polish will to fight in WW II, but to tell the truth it's overlooking a lot of thinks.
You should check out "Operation Bagration" which according to me is not only one of the most successful initiative, more successful than any the wehrmacht or the allies could pull off, but was also the largest operation in human history in terms of logistics and manpower.

Polish poet, Jacek Kaczmarski (1957-2004), wrote the poem/song titled "Tank", based on Vladimir Vysocki's poem by the same title, though a different theme:
With my tracks dug into the sand over Vistula
I'm looking over the river, with an empty visor
At a city fighting, that is so close
That the river's current itself has become the trench line
Warm armour beneath the September's sun
Is rearing for a fight, scalding under the touch
But the cold engine sleeps under the clotted oil
It's been a month since anyone sat behind the viewfinder
My barrel's empty throat, yearns again for the taste of a shell
Swallowing only the oily smoke from the other shore
From the taken off headsets you can hear the Poles screaming
And I don't know why I haven't taken the river in a stride!
Let my tracks dig into the slippery waves
And let me support the barricades with my fire!
So that the fighting city, that is this close
Won't call my lack of movement by the name of - _BETRAYAL_
But the staff is silent, as are the sweet flag's sprouts
Between which I've been hidden from those who are waiting
For _Ruskiy Tank_ will not be fighting for the Polish
For _Ruskiy Tank_ shall wait - until they are gone
When the uprising burns out with a dark flash
They shall start my engine, letting the machine's blood flow again
So that I may look upon the city, which is so close
Without a fight, conquering debris and ruins!
There are also tons of Polish songs, either written during the uprising, or referencing it. My personal favourite is this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This love of ours is the strangest of all
For she came to us, among the rattle of guns
Though not called for, she came to us first
During the time when on the streets a great ball was happening
She was there with us, during the hot days
When the side walks were being washed down with blood
Through the crazy days, and starry nights
She was our smile, a song, a tear.
My little girl from the Home Army
You've got to admit, what a grand game this was
The ends of our roads were so different
And I don't think I will ever see you again
Despite the fall outside, within me, I felt spring
And without fear, though the world around us was in flames
I just wanted to get to know you so thoroughly then
My little girl from the Home Army
She breathed hope into us, as best as she could
She hid together with us in the tenements' gates' alcoves
In tight alleyways, and in dark sewers
For the grand game was coming to an end
When everything has ended for us
When the last SMG fell silent
There, on the barricades, our love has remained
Together with your heart and my own grief
My little girl from the Home Army
You've got to admit, what a grand game it was
And though the ends of our roads were so different
I won't be able to see you again, after all...
Today there's fall outside, and within me, I feel it too
And the fear that the world outside has burned down
Nothing will bring you, return you to me
My little girl from the Home Army...
There is polish movie Miasto '44 (eng. title Warsaw '44) from 2014 about this Uprising. Or very famous movie "The Pianist" from 2002 but it is life in Warsaw throughout the whole war.
The moment when tank is at the front of a girl…and she knows she cannot run away…the most moving moment…
The Pianist is about the 1943 Ghetto Uprising, right?
After the war Poland was technically independent but it was ran by the communist government installed by the Soviet army (like in most of Eastern Europe and Balkans), and since Poland was pretty much the frontline in case of a war with the West there was a strong Soviet army presence till the end. The pro democratic Polish elites and Polish troops who fought with the Allies usually remained in exile in the West because returning to Poland often meant getting a death sentence for spying for the West by communist kangaroo courts, they were just too dangerous to the Soviet regime to let them live.
In all of Eastern Europe there was a strong anti soviet sentiment and desire for actual independence, but since it was Russia's backyard nothing could be done to help those countries. If US or other NATO countries decided to intervene in situations like the Hungarian anti-soviet revolution in 1956 it would be like the Soviets intervening in Mexico from the US perspective, they just woulndn't be able to let it fly. That area was pretty much lost when Allies decided to focus their efforts in France and Italy instead of making landings in Greece and Poland.
How exactly would they have made landings in Poland? They had to get through Denmark and Norway first, and the German navy may have been largely ineffective at the end but you don't need a lot of u boats in the baltic to kill a lot of men on transports. Also logistics would be hard to get if they even could do it, and the Soviets wouldn't agree to that. Getting us and British troops in France alone was hard enough, going through the straits of Denmark and to the polish and northern German coast was not exactly possible at the time, they invented the amphibious landers specifically for D-day. They also had to make sure they held the front in France and Italy.
@@luckyassassin1 Well they wouldn't need to hold the front in France if they never invaded France and just went through Greece and the Balkans, that could cut off Soviets from Europe.
@@Mason1968PL the balkans and northern Greece are mountainouse rough terrain with well fortified bunkers and defensive works. They were struggling with the same type of terrain in Italy at the moment. Going through the balkans and Greece was suicidal and they had poor intelligence in the area and they didn't have proper maps of anything aside from France, they also had the option of close airsupport, easy resupply and naval support and sabotage in France, it was the easiest and most logical place to invade from, and the Italian navy still existed in the Mediterranean sea, do you think they'd just sit back and relax while an allied amphibious invasion of Greece happened? Seriously none of your points here make sense for why France was a bad option when jt was thr only one available and the easiest one to do and even that operation took so much effort and counter intelligence work to pull off that it's still considered a god damned miracle. Also the nations involved were fighting in the Pacific too, they only had enough equipment and ships for one invasion in Europe.
@@luckyassassin1 Allies could have done completely nothing in Europe since 1943 the Soviets would have won regardless so it really doesn't matter where they invade. Invading in the Eastern Europe at least would give their Allies who they promised to defend a chance at getting actual freedom after years of massacres and destruction. But they just left them to the Soviets who also invaded them in 1939.
And if it's impossible to do then they shouldn't promise Poland protection. Poland should have just agreed to whatever Germans wanted in 1938/39 and they would be better for it.
@@Mason1968PL the germans planned on invading regardless because they staged a border skirmish between their troops, they dressed their own men up in polish uniforms and shot at eachother and used it as a justification for war and stated to the soviet union that they would invade regardless of if poland agreed to their ultimatum, so agreeing would have just given the germans and easier time because the land they wanted contained most of the polish defensive works. They did the same thing to czechoslavakia. Also the invasion point and fronts of the war and zones of control were agreed upon nearly a year in advance of the invasion. They agreed to leave the east to the Russians and take the west. So they couldn't invade in poland without potentially starting a diplomatic shit storm with the Soviets who were threatening to sign an armistice with the germans if they didn't invade in France and open that 2nd front. It's also harder to defend 2 fronts on opposite sides of the continent than it is to defend one big front on one side of the continent with good defensive terrain while the enemy lacks reliable supply and artillery and armor and air support. Invading France was the only option because they tried Italy and got bogged down, and it was going to stretch german manpower to it's limit. If they landed in poland or Greece the war would've lasted longer, cost more lives and left more allies occupied by the germans still. Also Yugoslavian partisans had their area pretty well dealt with at the time, they legitimately liberated themselves with minimal help from the allies, sending troops there would've only made a more chaotic and tense situation.
I think the next Sabaton History video should be Inmate 4859, a great example of Polish Bravery
@@katkacerasvswhat hint? All of the UB - urząd bezpieczeństwa were under the super vision of NKVD. Hell all Major economic and political decisions after the II WW in Poland were not made in Warsaw but at the Kremlin, until 1989. And it was all thx to Yalta and Roosevelt who did give Poland to Stalin. And that is why not a single Pole was invited to victory parade in London, they did not want uncle Stalin mad. To make it Clear to you and easy, 1945-1989 we were like Belarus is today, a russian satelite state.
" unstoppable spirit warsaw uprising "
We have a Polish cemetery here in Hobart, Australia, which has a whole section dedicated to those who fought in the Warsaw Uprising.
There was also the Jewish Ghetto Uprising in Warsaw in 1943, if you want to look into that.
Cheers & thanks for your reaction!

Jewish gettos where created by Jews them selves. Germans announced they do not seek to fight them and ask them to get in gettos. Because they fight only Poles. At the begining life in getto was good. They where living in their closed enclaves like always did. Jewish comunity never gave money or man power to support Poland in struggle against natzi germany invading. Life in gettos where peacefull and good. While they had rich people there. They had something like lottery where people chosen where relocated to better place. Thats why they where traveling with all t heir lugagges. Cos they where thinking they go to better place. In time food and wealthy runn out. Evrything turned in to hell and it was clear that germans lied to them and sad truth start being revealed slowly. No one outside gettos know what is going on inside for long time til Underground Polish army send spies in. Than Underground army send spy Witold Pilecki to those concentration camps to figure out what is really going on. Than Polish representant Jan Karski was send with message to save Jews to United Kingdome, our voice had being ignored. Than to United States. No one wanted to belive in Underground Army Report. There was death penalty for helping Jews. But we Poles still where trying to save them. My family in small town Milanowek saved 3 Jewish families. There maby voices that Polish people where not good to Jews. But know this for any kind of snitching or murdering Jew Polish Underground Army was giving sentence of death and send executors to commence it. German officers where scared of this and knew that 80 hanged Polish man for 1 german is not most optimistic vision knowing A.K executor will come for them if they pull over the string. Germans found how to overide Polish underground Army rules. Germans start using Jewish citizens who where looking not like typical Jews to snitch on his brethren! Who help them who hide them. Because they where Jews them selves they could not being killed by Underground army executors. This was the paradox. One of te AK executors spot one of this snithches coming out of home of my family and followed him. To the gestapo main entrance in Milanowek town. Than he decided to shoot him plain in head. This action saved my family, three Jewish families to. But This executor man was now sentenced to death by gestapo and Polish Underground Army Court! He had to flee. Can you imagine? Life in Poland was worse than living in nightmarish matrix!
Żydowskie powstanie w getcie ,to nie to samo ,co Powstanie Warszawskie !!!!!!!!!!!!!
To zupełnie dwa odrębne wydarzenia !!!!
W Powstaniu Warszawskim walczyly nawet polskie dzieci.
Żydzi nie mają z tym nic wspólnego !!!!
Kłamstwa słyszy się na całym świecie !
In my ancestry are 2 brothers one who fought as one of the defenders in the original invasion and one who fought as part of the resistance both thought 5he other was dead but they both immigrated to America via elis island and eventually found each other many years later , all of this is documented in a book called uncommon in America that chronicles those 2 brothers and their descendents all the way down to me and my brother and cousins
"Jeszcze Polska nie zagięła póki MY żyjemy" to jest Polska. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Men first my condolences and thanks for your great videos men.
Hi kit, you should watch part 2 to this. It deals with the music video that they made for uprising. And the liberation of Paris
Glad you’ve done this one. This was my personal favourite song when I first stated following Sabaton.
Thank you for this great program
The sad part imo and very crazy is that the poles literally had to wait for the Wehrmacht to be fully occupied with the Soviets so they couldn’t reallocate any Wehrmacht divisions to put down the Uprising only for the Poles to instead have to face SS divisions instead of Wehrmacht divisions that immediately start destroying the city with no regard for anything. Because the SS were basically just a worse version of the Wehrmacht that was more nazified. They mentioned that the Germans even sent Russian SS Division to crush the uprising I’m shocked at the fact that that Russian SS division was still intact at this point, they also sent the SS Dirlewanger division there that was a SS division built up of only criminals whose leader was an actual child rapist not joking look it up.
So that must have backfired even more for the Poles sadly.
Dirlewanger brigade en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirlewanger_Brigade
All this for them to be betrayed by the Soviets too. :/
Great reaction to a great song. ❤
it should be added that during the Warsaw Uprising, the Germans were helped by Ukrainians "SS Galizien", they hated Poles as much as the Germans, the Ukrainians were also more brutal than the Germans.
Polish soliders in Soviet army couldn't watch what is going on with Warsaw so they attacked, but unfortunately without success.
There were many Poles in Soviet armies, but Polska Armia Tadeusz Kościuszko was fighting on this front, and from this armi Poles volunteered to help the Warsaw uprising. Unfortunately, they paid with their blood.
My father was there.
Niektórym oddziałom Polskim odebrano dostawy amunicji by swoją artylerią nie mogli wspomagać Powstancow ostrzałem artyleryjskim z za Wisły. Wielu zaś z tych którzy próbowali przedrzeć się do Warszawy zgineło. Poza tym bombardowanie Warszawy mogło być co najmniej utrudnione przez lotnictwo Sowietow ale ci nic w tym kierunku nie robili przez co Ju-87 latały sobie spokojnie beż osłony. Ponad to zabroniono Aliantom Zachodnim lotów wahadłowych nad Francja - Warszawa - wyzwolone tereny Polskie za Wisłą. Loty które miały w jedną stronę nieść pomóc Powstańcom w drugą biorąc ładunki bomb i atakować pozycje Niemieckie w Polsce, przez co pomagać Powstańcom.
"IPN tv unconquered " some history of Poland english lektor listen who voice :)
And now you know why Poland enthusiastically supports Ukrainian freedom, they remember.....
Cos we felt it empiricly
*Very enthusiastically.*
Since Sparty mentioned their WW2 channel, please make sure to watch their video from the WW2 channel on sir Carton de Wiart (the unkillable soldier) as well as the sabaton history video on the unkillable soldier, the sabaton history focuses only on his WW1 exploits and he did a ton of stuff between the wars and during and after WW2 as well and the special from their WW2 channel adds a lot of his story!
The captured German tank wasn't a Leopard obviously, but a Tiger. They captured, in fact, two tanks. One was "legit," but the second one was a trap - it blew up after it was captured and killed dozens of Polish fighters. US bombers were flying as well from Brindisi in Italy to Warsaw's rescue. Several of them were shot down, and some of American fliers were killed. After the war, they were buried in Powazki National Cemetary in its Avenue of Distinguished. The people of Warsaw still remember them; fresh flowers are always on their graves.
Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła kiedy my żyjemy!
There is actually a fairly accurate war film which shows the brutal realities of war called All Quite On The Western Front
if you are shockt obout soviet tretment to volonters reed or find documentaris about Katyń and i think Smoleńsk
I really don't think the order matters other than that it would help to ensure that you watch them all. IMO skip around all you want and hit the ones that interest you the most.
Respect to Poland.
The Brits raised the Polish Parachute Brigade with the promise that when Poland rose up they would be dropped into Poland. With the Warsaw rising ongoing they were refused to be sent to Poland. Instead they were dropped into Arnahm as part of Market Garden. The Poles serving in the RAF offered to fly supplies into Warsaw and were refused. There were a couple of supply drops late in the uprising but by then most of the supplies landed outside the small area still held by the Poles.
😊😊😊😊Pozdrawiam z Polski
We're still alive. But best part of us died to 1945...
Polish ppl = angels need to know this
LOL "what a crazy year that was amiright?" dude that shit lasted 3 years
What the Dirlewanger brigade did on the eastern front is some of the most sickening behavior i have ever read about. You should really check up on those sick sick individuals, but you need a very strong stomach. Greetings from Denmark.
you're kidding? after the war you gave us the Yalta Conference. such videos only prove your point of view. profit and self-interest.
That's why, we (Poles) LOVE so much Russia.
🙃
Poland is great again
Only Poland captured Moscow on its own.
September 8, 1610. Zolkiewski at the head of the Polish army entered Moscow, where he ruled for two years. He thus went down in history as the only man to do so. At that time Moscow was under foreign rule and this feat was never repeated by anyone later.
we... we? Poles learn from mistakes. The are upgrading and gear up their military. In 10 to 15 years. They gonna be the biggest military in EU
you know, in reality Stalin and Hitler were great buddies who had a fight, fought each other to the death but sometimes one helped the other, or one did not bother the other. Today in Poland the symbolism of Nazism and communism is forbidden. All monuments to the victory of communism and the Red Army have been removed. For Poland these were not victories but defeats and a change of occupant.
I recommend checking who Vasily Blokhin was - the man is suspected of single-handedly carrying out 50,000 executions and over 11,000 are proven and confirmed by documents. In Russia he is still a hero buried with honors in a place for the distinguished.

No more reactions of the songs?
wow
Konkluzja tego wszystkiego nasuwa się sama, a mianowicie zostaliśmy zdradzeni przez naszych sojuszników z którymi wspólnie walczyliśmy na drugim froncie, których wspieraliśmy i obroniliśmy przed podobnym losem jaki przypadł Polsce podczas wybuchu II WW kiedy podczas Bitwy o Anglię w 1940 roku walczyliśmy i obroniliśmy ich wolność, kiedy zdobywając Monte Cassino otwieraliśmy drogę na Rzym, kiedy złamaliśmy kod Enigmy dzięki czemu ratując tysiące jak nie miliony istnień ludzkich, zdobywając dane wywiadowcze o V1 i V2, wysyłając dowody na eksterminację narodu żydowskiego w obozach zagłady oraz wiele wiele innych dowodów na to jak bliskie są nam Polakom ideały i wartości Wolnego Świata. Jedynie co nas za to spotkało to zdrada w Jałcie i oddanie nas pod strefę wpływów komunistycznej rzeczywistości na następne 45 lat.
ok, the Warsaw Uprising was a traumatic part of Polish history, but we also had glory days.

To tylko piosenka. Warto zagłębić się temat głębiej...
There is this idea that allies won the war after D-day. Reality is very far from that. It was really only after battle of the bulge that Allied got the real upper hand, and that ended in 25 of January 1945.
After that the front was pushed forward quite rapidly. The issue is that jet aircraft that was produced in quite significant number, and also was superior to there prop counterpart ironically solved Germany fuel problem. This was a huge issue for the allies Germany now didn´t have to fight with one hand behind there back. Crussing Germany fast was very important. Hence War in Germany was prioritized over the war in Japan
Sorry, but the Western Allies, i.e. the US and GB, could have forced Stalin to help. Stalin was dependent on an IV drip from overseas, without American canned goods, Studebackers and generally all the help he would still be defending himself near Leningrad and Moscow. If the Allies had ordered all the convoys on the Atlantic to turn back, Stalin would have immediately rushed to help Warsaw. But Roosevelt was under Stalin's spell and considered him a "good" leader. Churchill saw what was coming but was in too weak a position to get between Stalin and Roosevelt. Roosevelt also opted for a second front coming from Italy and cutting Europe in half straight to Gdansk, so that the Allied troops would cut Poland off from the Soviets, but Roosevelt did not accept the idea and landed in Normandy, which brought Poland half a century of Russian occupation and Sovietization. All those who were against the new communist government followed the Germans to Siberia... what the Nazis could not kill was finished by the communists. Thanks Allies, we are very grateful to you, after the Battle of London, after Monte Cassino, after the liberation of Holland, after breaking the Enigma, that you sold us out like that. Personally, I have a greater hatred for the French and the British today than for the Germans. The Germans did not hide their feelings for us and were honest in their own way, while the French and the British pretended to be friends to reap the benefits when Poland was suffering, they did not help in 1939 despite our alliance obligations, and in 1945 they sold us out to Stalin cynically and without scruples. Is this how the Allies act? The Polish raison d'état should be a complete lack of trust in the French and the British. If they sold us out twice, I would not like to be wrong a third time. If they were loyal, after the "Iron Curtain" moved 1000 km to the east, they would have moved their bases from Germany closer to the threat. Why does Rammstein still exist in this place when the threat is much further to the east? For now, however, NATO partners maintain very modest forces in Poland compared to what they still maintain in Germany. From what I see, I sincerely believe that in the event of a conflict with Russia, Poland will remain alone on the front line because what NATO has in Poland can be evacuated in one day.
welp what did u expect welcome to Russia the land of the forgiving the land who want us dead
Polish name this a panter tank a " pudel"
ILY Poland ❤
Za chwilę będzie kolejny rozbiór Polski..
And the great movie every must see i think is " schindlers list " every one be hapy when watch this movie and then see how be bad then for really
theirs one called Uprising, about the Jewish ghetto uprising in 1943
I recommend this video.
ua-cam.com/video/Q88AkN1hNYM/v-deo.html
It's painting a bigger picture of polish will to fight in WW II, but to tell the truth it's overlooking a lot of thinks.
Well in about same time was Paris Uprisind they gave them Everything to win as almost Nothing
French let freely walk Germans troops to Paris
You should check out "Operation Bagration" which according to me is not only one of the most successful initiative, more successful than any the wehrmacht or the allies could pull off, but was also the largest operation in human history in terms of logistics and manpower.
Czy przeumaczles yresc
Why do it again, i think the first foregine soldiers in ukraine will be polish, besides volenteers allredy where, salute too the poolish people
You realy must learn more about Comrade Stalin, it is very complex figure. With respect from Russia.
Tbh The Soviets probably didn’t want to fight in the city
No, they wanted the Polish patriots to be killed, so it was easier for them to install the Communist puppet government
Well... we do not need to sacrifice soviet soldiers for poland nationalists.
The soviet propaganda urged Varsovians to uprising using radio broadcasts, but when the uprising started, no help was given to the insurgents! The brave red army just watched for two months my city slowly dying. Dying men, women, children, animals, trees, buildings, everything :(
Moreover, why soviets didn't allowed to land at their airports British planes, which wanted to drop weapons for insurgents???!!! Such help, wouldn't have caused a death of any red army soldier.
For sure, they don't teach about these facts in ru schools :(
@@gug7187 well. and what? ussr suffer so big loses that warsaw is not significant compare to our. 26 millions lost. and poland loses?
@@gug7187 терять еще сотни тысяч солдат что бы ломиться в варшаву вдруг когда востание обречено? нет спасибо. и ради ваших националистов? поляки вы гиена европы.
@@cyberneticbeast you compare the value of human life as you would compare plums. 2 kg of plums is worth more than 1 kg of plums. In this way, you can justify every genocide, every murder. are you a bot or a human? I don't believe a man can think this way.
@@cyberneticbeast USSR lost 26 million people which constituted 14% of their pre-war population. Poland lost 6 million which amounted to 17%. So yeah.. we know what suffering meant during those times. Not to mention, a lot of those deaths were caused by the Soviets when they were still chummy with Hitler (and many of them even after the Berlin-Moscow romance ended).
8:17 The Soviets lose to Poland in 1920 and the Soviets have to withdraw from western Ukraine . of course there was no way Poland could get help from the Soviets
