It was a battle that Poland was not supposed to have won: A David and Goliath battle so pivotal yet so criminally-overlooked in the shadows between two world wars. If Poland lost, it would mean the end of its short-lived independence. But for the rest of Europe, a Soviet victory could have changed the history of the continent immensely. 100 years later, we take a look at the 1920 Battle of Warsaw, or as it's known in Polish - Cud Nad Wisłą (ENG: The Miracle On The Vistula).

God bless Poland
Im british but agree!
Shortly after the battle for Warsaw the Soviet 1st Cavalry Army in the South was decisively defeated by Polish cavalry even though the Poles were outnumbered slightly more than 10:1. It was the battle of Komarów and it was one of the last major cavalry on cavalry battles in history.
*"So long as there are Poles - there will ALWAYS be a POLAND !!"*
Amen.
Saying that Pilsudski had no millitary experience/education is a lie. He served and was the leader of Polish legions in WW1 under Austro-Hungarian command.
Moreover, he was a self-taught tactician and strategist, I've read that his plan of the 1920 August maneuwre, was heavily inspired on Napoleon's military strategy. He read lots of books about Napoleon Wars.
he did not say that
Nice video but you forgot to mention very important person on Polish side General Tadeusz Rozwadowski :)
Exactly. And even more, his role in the battle was much more important than Pilsudski's one.
YES
Witam demona rymujacego
I’m Polish and I have got gooseflesh after watching this video. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
Poland should take pride in this great victory for Western civilization, which is not taught in Western Universities.
Poland-savior of western civilization and classical values on more than one occasion. May we not forget this battle and the Siege of Vienna 1683!!
Love, an American with proud Polish roots!
POLSKA PRIDE 🇵🇱
I absolutely /love/ how he says.. "We say not a chance! As long as there a poles.. There is a Poland". Because lets face it. Poland is the heart of Europe. The hope of Europe. And as long as a Pole lives.. Poland will fight, for Europe! :D
Poland certainly is not the brain of Europe.
On the last map of the Earth, on the last day of Humanity, you will see Poland on that map.
Don't forget the help from those US volunteer pilots from the Kosciusko squadron.
WARSAW - is my beautiful city !!!!
This is so Ukraine today. We will repeat the history by Polish brothers
The miracle in 1920 would not have happened without the help from Ukrainian allies (eg. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Bezruchko).
Greetings and thanks from Romania!! Our nation and army has a lot to learn from you!
Pamiętamy o Rumuni i Węgrach które wysłały nam wtedy amunicję🍻
Beautiful video thank you ! From Poland 🇵🇱
Great video!
U did good job, mate! Many thanks for such a great movie 💪
Amazing history video , thank you 🙂❤️ 🇵🇱
Forgotten heroes
Where were the Europeans when the poles needed them against the Russian invasion??
In the same place they were when Poland needed them during ww2.
The "European leaders" only care about their intersts, Where were they when The Russian people were left for bolsheivik slaughter?
Hungarian brothers were with us, Poles. Their support in the most critical moment of the battle was invaluable. They gave back to us their whole strategic reserves of ammunition and sent it through Romania by rail.
Busy making bullshit peace treaty proposals with turkey and hungry
Great job, thank you! I believe, however, that Piłsudski did have military experience gained during the WWI.
He is talking about his military education and he is right.
He said he had no formal military education and that is true. Of course one doesn't need formal education to learn something through experience.
@@wladyslawbukowski you're right, thanks. What a silly mistake.
Piłsudski commanded a brigade during WWI. Fun fact, he never served in regular army even as a private. Piłsudski became a military by spy and diversion activity for Austria-Hungary.
Brilliant. Thank you. An overlooked fundamental war episode on the far edges of WW1. This is why the comunist Red Army was notoriiusly so pissed with the Poles all WW2.....
Viva' Polska!
Amazing story about the miracle!:)
Stalin remembered the 1920, 21 battle of Warsaw and therefore did not assist Polish people during the Warsaw Uprising.
YES. Also Stalin wanted the Nazis to kill as many members of the AK as possible, so there would be no post war resistance to a post WWII Communist takeover of Poland.
@@pilsudski36 & Rokossovsky who although of Polish origin,
stopped his armies short of Warsaw, & enjoyed the spectacle of his nazi com-rats slaughtering the Poles.
He was arrested during the purges on awfoul-joe orders, was freed minus 3 ribs & licked joe's boots.
Later during the Poznan 1956 uprising, he urged Krustchev to send tanks slaughtering the Poles again.
The Warsaw uprising was not targeted towards the Nazis but towards the USSR, inorder to try to force their hand. That though brave was unnecessary as the Red Army already had Werchmact on retreat and would have captured Warsaw with or without an uprising.
He did assist. It was the Red that kicked the Nazis out of Poland. What more could they have done
He means that during the Soviet advance (which I would hesitate to call liberation, as the Soviets imprisoned and killed hundreds of thousands to millions of Poles and did multiple war crimes), there was a Polish uprising in Warsaw mobilizing the last of the Polish Underground in Warsaw. The Poles had successfully taken most if the city, and the reds were on the other side of the Vistula. However the Nazis sent in many reinforcements to quell the uprising. The Reds watched the Poles be systematically and ruthlessly slaughtered to the point where there were only a few thousand left in the city. They could have done something to help as they had the capability, and they were also sent many pleas for help by the Poles on radio, despite this the Reds decided to just watch the slaughter occur. This is what he is talking about.
Last time I was in Poland (2016) Polish V seemed to air a never-ending stream of documentaries and historical dramas set in and around this period in History.
Very good, thanks!
Great vid enjoyed that
Excellent video. Thanks!
Wonderful infirmative video. Thank you for making it. Will definitely share on social media 🙏🌷👍
Excellent video , You have a gift of sharing .
what a cool video!
Marshal Tukhachevsky made the mistake of saying out loud "I should have taken Warsaw, if not for Stalin", a remark that was to cost him and his family their lives during Stalin's great purges of the late thirties.
Lose lips sink ships 😁
This channel is really underrated
good video this
Good job, do as much as possible all episodes in english, in order to spread it out .

BATTLE OF WARSAW
Would there be ‘ A Miracle at the Dnieper’ soon?.
as pole i hope so
Yes
The “ miracle on the Vistula” was a term created by Pilsudski s domestic enemies I.e Roman Dmowski and his National Democrats.. Thi was done to detract from Pilsudski s huge achievement. No miracle just a hard fought and very important victory.
Stroński called the Battle of Warsaw a miracle on the basis of the Battle of the Marne, which the French called a miracle. It hurt terribly for the Piłsudskides and they created a narrative that was saying, that it was a bad national democrats who called the Battle a miracle to reduce Piłsudski's participation. During Piłsudski's dictatorship this false narrative has become even stronger.
@@PolishSoldier1939 sooo can i say Miracle of Donets-Oskil?
Nice video👌but you forgot about
gen. Tadeusz Rozwadowski and defend of Lwów
the one dislike is josef stalin
Lenin was the leader of soviet Russia at the time
@@anabsolutemess8850 i know but stalin was a military leader in the polish soviet war
For those that like this video, also look for "The Winter War" between the Soviet Union and Finland.
Nice not one mention of Haller's aka the Blue Army. That was also stationed at Warsaw.
Nice video, but I have only one to add, the plan of count-offensive from south of Vistula, was planned by general Tadeusz Rozwadowski
i want to be a part of Pilsuzski's preparation for the defense of Warsaw🙋
Where is the gen. Tadeusz Rozwadowski strategy genius?
I always think that the Nazis were ungrateful and ignorant considering that Poland helped save Vienna from the Turks and stopped the Bolsheviks at Warsaw. A more sensible strategy for Germany would have been to ally with Poland!
Maybe the reason is that Germans from time to time turn out not to belong to Western civilization at all?

The real miracle was the Ukrainian Peoples Republic Sich Reflemen stopping Budyonny’s Cavalry at Zamosc in their way from Lviv
Lol rola oddziałów siczowych była znikoma, to Polscy ułani pobili armię konną pod Komarowem Jebany głupi banderowcu. Tfu na was i waszą klamliwa historie nie różnicie się od ruskiej swoloczy.
Так, Марко Безручко, чудовий генерал. Але, на жаль, внесок українців ніхто оприлюднювати не буде. Ми їм допомогли відстояти незалежність, а вони у відповідь вставили ніж в спину і підписали мир з московитами, цим самим поділивши УНР
@@user-un7gj3de3k це в першу чергу треба французам закидати, бо Пілсудський не мав запасу міцності по снарядах і йому було важко підтримувати УНР у військовий спосіб. Поляки не хочуть визнавати тодішньої зради, АЛЕ коли їм дипломатично даєш зрозуміти, що вони мають більш відповідально ставитися до наших героїв, нашої спадщини і нашим теперішнім відносинам, то вони не бикують. Ну це з того, що я міг спостерігати. Вони все прекрасно розуміють
@@turbojojol Сумніваюся, що тут французи винні. Пілсудський - імперець. На початку всього він хотів відродити Польщу в кордонах 1772 року, а туди входять також наші землі, і вишня на цьому торті - Львів. Це потім він перейшов до концепції "Міжмор'я", ака федерація Польщі, Литви, Білорусі, України. Впевнений, що у висновку вийшла б Річ Посполита, де поляки знову будуть елітою та вищими млюдьми, литовці і литвини будуть більш менш себе почуватися, а русини-українці, як завжди, були і будемо людьми другого сорту(яскравий приклад повоєнна Польща). Проаналізуючи його світогляд можна зрозуміти, що чхав він на українців. Спочатку користуючись нашої слабкістю нав'язав вигідний тільки йому Варшавський договір, віджав "східні польські креси" ну і як вишня на торті: просто використав нас, як інструмент для здобуття Польщі незалежності, а потім благополучно вставив ніж в спину (Ризький договір) та кинув на корм московитській орді. Тут не потрібно бути Вангою, щоб зрозуміти: це не був вимушений крок, а він нас спеціально використав,як пішаків. І що винен тут ВИКЛЮЧНО Х*уйл*судський. Хоча це не дивно, поляки завжди були зарозумілими, високомірними, підлими падл*ками, які ніколи до нас нормально не ставились. Вони ті ж самі росіяни по ментальності, а саме імперці, що ставляться до нас,як до людей другого сорту та вважають одними лише дурними селюками. Вони і досі точать зуби на Львів, і думають як би його забрати. І мене нудить, як мої співвітчизники/ці роблять друзів з людей, що відносяться до нас, як до біосміття... Це наші споконвічні вороги, ніяких не брати і не друзі. Крапка. Чому всі такі сліпі???
Slovakia also invaded Poland in 1939, but they had been attacked by Poland not long before.
gr4at Poland
freeedom
2 things.
1. The map is bit misleading because Lwów (Lviv) was never captured by the Red Army.
2. Pisudzki's involvement is commonly overrated with little credit being given to other generals.
But overall a good video on the general aspects of the conflict.
Mess with the Polish
Get demolished
Wrong polish eagle at this time mate
On small but important remark: it was NOT a miracle. The battle was won by soldiers.
.... which fought according with great Plan prepered by Polish high officers
@@zepter00 wow seriously? i thought each soldier does what he wants,the subop talks about SUPPOSED GOD'S INTERVENTION
it was a miracle that the soviets failed you could say, they had the advantage

why fight? for this....our kulture....

Poland wasn't completely erased from the maps. During Napoleonic wars there was a duchy of Warsaw. After the fall of Napoleon Russians created puppetry kingdom of Poland which existed up to the 60's

comment
this video is a copy almost word for word of another video called "poland is not yet lost"
Miracle?
Great video. In my opinion, I don't think the reds can take out Germany after Poland. Germany infrastructure and industrial prowess are still intact. They are very advance nation then (and now too).
w 1920 gdybyśmy przegrali..rosjanie nakryli by was czapkami..
they took you out at your greatest in recent history,no doubts they would do the same when u were on ur knees after war,germans had enough of war same goes for france and GB.
1920? It's literally 2 years after ww1. You are telling me that a reduced german army with a debt would defend against bolsheviks? Germans are only good at attacking the weaker nations.
@@xXNoxX Were the Russian army and economy in 1920 able to do that ?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
To quote Wellington, "It was a close run thing". Poland got lucky, The Reds got lazy, and they let Stalin have too much control. As far as I'm concerned, Stalin lost that battle for the Red Army. But I am NOT underselling the bravery, toughness or tenacity of the Poles. They won that battle by fighting harder and enduring more. That simple. And they fought smarter, too. Being better was the only miracle the Polish Army needed.
*Man, Piłsudski wasn't even there!*
On August 12, 1920, the day before, he resigned from the role of the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Polish army. Piłsudski resigned and left Warsaw, going first to his mistress and daughters near Tarnów, and then to his quarters in Puławy, and did not take part in decisive fights. We owe the win to, among others General Rozwadowski. He was the commander-in-chief during the battle. At the same time Piłsudski 'heard the sounds of the retreating front in the distance' while staying with his family, as he wrote in his memoirs ... This version of the story (with Piłsudski commanding) is a false communist propaganda, created for the socialist preferences of Piłsudski, who, by the way, was probably a German agent.
You are an idiot if you think Piłsudski was a German agent
@@BB-hx4mj ok, thank you for your opinion
@@BB-hx4mj sadly he was. That however does not bother much
Justyna Gorka show me some historical sources that state that and are widely accepted by historians (real ones not the ones who claim that Great Lechia existed)
@@BB-hx4mj After Piłsudski's death, Hitler organized a ceremonial funeral for him in Berlin. After the takeover of Poland, one of the first things he did was to put up an honorary guard over Piłsudski's grave. Kinda nice guy that nazi was, wasn't he? Thank you, bye
To tell Piłsudski was not trained really downplay this documentary. He is the very man behind polish indipendence! Which is also a consequence of the Bolshevik Revolution, without that no Brest Litovsk treaty. The allies and other polish politicians agreed on a boundary on the Curzon line, which Piłsudski was the first to force too, causing the red army to intervene ( it may had occurred anyway)
What did our ancestors die for protecting Poland from bolshevism when today everyone raves about marxism in Poland and the west XD?
we were so close to having a world without class rule
Nice, a non-polish movie about communist defeat! but...
Piłsudski wasnt even in Warsaw during battle...he resigned on 12.08 and went to Bobowa
stop making a hero out of that socialist brawler. because of his myth, we've got his copycats building socialism/etatism in Poland...
The True hero was General Tadeusz Jordan‑Rozwadowski, it was his plan to counter attack from south, he was chief of the staff in polish army in that time.
Who was "Rozwadowski"? Do not repeat urban legends. Rozwadowski was NOT even in Poland during fights😁 Read more: historia.wprost.pl//10352717/2/pilsudski-rozwadowski-czy-weygand-kto-odpowiada-za-zwyciestwo-w-bitwie-warszawskiej.html
@@podunkman2709 According to your Source "„Rozwadowski był świetnym sztabowcem, ale z Francji wrócił dopiero 19 lipca. 22-26 lipca dopiero obejmował obowiązki szefa sztabu. Moim zdaniem - pisał badacz - pomysł „wielkiej kombinacji” IN MY OPINION ITS NOT A FACT!!!!! its one of many historian claiming something else, Signature of Rozwadowski can be found on every document including those of Counter Offensive.in July Piłsudski wanted to attack and beat Buddyonny army and then attack Tukhachevsky army from the rear, and that's not what happened. Buddyony army was not beat before the counter offensive like Piłsudski wanted in July, also Counter offensive from south could not be prepared long before the battle, because no one knew that Buddyonny with support of Stalin and Lenin will ignore Tukhachevsky orders to attack Warsaw from the south and join Tukhachevsky army.
He wasn't in Warsaw like many other Polish commanders and soldiers. He was in Puławy where he commanded 4th army which was designed to make the decisive counterattack from the Wieprz river.

Another history specialist 🙄
The planned Polish withdrawal immediately to the Vistula River to repel the Bolshevik offensive is not true, because you would need to know what happened in June and July to talk about it.
If you don't want to mindlessly repeat nonsense, know that the Battle of Poland was originally supposed to take place on the Bug River, but this concept was successfully implemented on the Vistula River!
Stop calling it the Miracle on the Vistula, but the Battle of Warsaw, because it is a reference to the Miracle on the Marne invented by the political opposition!
