9:52 Funny fact. The invasion of Poland began on September 1, 1939 and ended on October 6, 1939. For 35 days. The Battle of France began on May 10, 1940 and ended on June 25, 1940, giving us 46 days. This means that the "inferior" and deprived of allies' support, the Polish army fights only 11 days shorter than the great French army supported by the British army, which had more than nine months to prepare. ;)
@mladenkorstic i don't think it's just slavic people it's just that france in ww2 was not ready for a war in any way possible many countries like America Australia new Zealand Britain sweden france etc can fight very well even outnumbered
@@kingseb2252 i'd bet differently if you look at slavic history and all of the slavic countries history you will often find that being outnumbered and still managing to put up resistance is a reoccurring theme for slavs. And what do you mean France wasn't ready for a war they had allies and they had time to prepare something slavic Poles did not have. While Americans did fight in about 9 battles where they were outnumbered it was no where near 40-1 when i think about it none of the countries you listed were facing those odds and almost always had allies and support
@@mladenkorstic france literally conquered all of europe mostly alone sweden was attacked by 3 fronts on the great northern war alone australia and new Zealand fought the germans and Japanese in ww2 and were alone till late 1942 in pacific Britain was regularly outnumbered in alot of battles like rorke's drift america won tons of stunning victories in american revolution civil war ww1 and ww2 and others it is not just slavic peoples so don't get rude 🙄
"Made Sabaton popular in Poland" is an understatement. Sabaton has been sited in modern history books in Poland because so much of their history from WW2 has been erased thanks to Communist and Allied propaganda. And after getting recognized by the Archbishop, if Sweden doesn't hold on, Poland could easy go "Sabaton is our band now".
Hence the nearly universal acceptance of "Polish jokes." I was a friend of a Polish pilot. Trust me, the Poles were clearly way more efficient and advanced than most know.
10:44 Germany and Soviet ... don't never forget that Soviet ware ally of Hitler and they started WW2 too atacking Poland Finaland etc., Polish soliders fought on 2 fronts. Pity that France and England didnt attacked Germany from back as they prommised Poland ... but its another story.
I went and poked around a bit on Polish Wikipedia (no I do not speak Polish) a while ago and if I remember right, and the translation was correct, the filmmaker is the grandson of captain Raginis sister
The battle of Wizna is surrounded by many myths. For example it was not 40:1 "only" 6:1. Germans never attacked their positions with full strength. Still brave, but let's not fool ourselves. Guderian stopped, it is true. But not because of Polish soldiers, but because they were missing parts of the pontoon bridge and could not cross the river. They were simply waiting for the parts. I am surprised that anyone believes that 700 soldiers, even the best, can stop the entire Army Corps of 40000 soldiers and tanks with practically no ammunition. And these "heavy German losses" amounted to 10 killed, several wounded and 10 destroyed vehicles.

Yeah i don't want to insult anyone but that's kinda pathetic
@@kingseb2252 slavic people in general are great warriors especially when outnumbered that's when their true strength shows
@mladenkorstic i don't think it's just slavic people it's just that france in ww2 was not ready for a war in any way possible many countries like America Australia new Zealand Britain sweden france etc can fight very well even outnumbered

40:1 is my favorite.....thank you Polan for standing up!!

That's pretty mad.
Thank You for proper reaction, best regards from Poland :)
thanks and I respect your empathy
Always Remember.

We ARE THE PEOPLE !!! PEOPLE FROM POLAND !!!WE ARE !!
The Polish are like the Imperial Fists of 40k. They are a wall that will take a while to break
As the anthem states "Every Doorstill shall be a fortress" - fits in just like a fist in a glove!

fun fact-the last few frames of the official video is cut straight out of the 40-1 video that was taken down for copyright
Of course Poland was gonna put up a hell of a fight. They've been conquered and invaded for centuries.
Yes More Sabaton🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
Sensacje XX wieku🙏
Death and glory !!!
Better life and glory. We, Poles, can do both! ❤️ 🥂
BTW so far last horse cavalry charge was performed by US Army during defence of Philipines in 1940/1941.
Actually, I believe it was done by the Italians in Eritrea.

You never know. You may just as well be an offspring of a Polish child kidnapped by German nazis, right? 😜 Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
Ale mu szczena opadła jak się dowiedział ilu ich było😀
Aż szkoda, że ta dysproporcja to mit wymyślony w czasach PRL.
