The Last Place for a Last Army

- The frigid wind whipped through the Świętokrzyskie Mountains as Major Henryk Dobrzański, better known by the pseudonym "Hubal," peered through his binoculars. It was March 30, 1940, and the forest around him bristled with danger. His small band of 70 Polish resistance fighters - the last uniformed soldiers of the defeated Polish Army - had evaded Nazi occupiers for months. But now, the net was closing.
Hubal's heart raced as he realized the terrible truth - they were surrounded. Three SS regiments and three Wehrmacht battalions, perhaps as many as 8,000 men, had been deployed with one mission: destroy the "Mad Major" and his unit.
As the first rays of dawn pierced the canopy, machine gun fire erupted, shattering the silence. Hubal barked orders to his men, who scrambled for cover. The air filled with the acrid smell of cordite and the screams of the wounded. The Germans pressed their attack, confident in their overwhelming numbers.
Hubal knew the stakes. If his unit fell, so too would the hope of thousands of Poles who saw them as the last bastion of resistance against Nazi tyranny. As bullets whizzed past his head, the Major made a split-second decision. It was risky, perhaps suicidal, but it was their only chance.
With a fierce determination etched on his face, Hubal gripped his pistol and signaled to his men. In an instant, he sprang into action, charging headlong towards the German lines. His loyal fighters, inspired by their commander's audacity, surged forward behind him. The enemy fire intensified to a deafening roar, but Hubal pressed on relentlessly. As he raced towards the hail of bullets, the fate of Poland's resistance hung in the balance, teetering on the edge of this daring, desperate gambit…

One of your best videos yet!! Thanks for this inspiring focus on a brave soldier who refused to surrender it all just to protect his homeland!! A disabled US Army Veteran
Excellent episode! No country in recent history has produced so many inspiring heroes as Poland. I always enjoy hearing of their exploits. Very courageous people!
How long did it take for Poland to surrender? Please do remind us!!!
Poland 🇵🇱 ..is A Beautiful Country you can be Proud Of .!! ❤👍😎👍🙏
Thank You. I have heard many stories of how brave a country Poland is and was. He was one of many brave men of the Polish Military that refused to give in. God bless him and his fellow countryman who fought for their beloved country until they could fight no more.

Thank you for more info on the Polish Resistance! Armia Krajowa!!!

immeasurable level of courage
'Hubal' embodied the spirit of Polish King John III Sobreski who led the Hussars cavalry to break the Ottoman siege against Vienna in 1683 that saved what was left of Christendom and was the beginning of the end of Ottoman domination in eastern Europe. Sobreski is the reason we use the term "The West" today. 'Hubal' is a more recent Sobreski.
Great strategy : Saving Vienna from the Ottoman which allowed Austrian Empire to wipe out Poland few decades later
Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻
Your production is 🔥. Content 👊. Shawn Ryan Show 💥
My dad was Hungarian.
A polish customer said we are brothers!!
We fight together and we drink together!!
We stand strong against evil!!
It was rather appalling that the Western Allies betrayed Poland so badly at the end of WW2.
Yes it was sad. Operation paperclip was sad, too. The partisans would’ve been better off helping the Germans then switching sides when the real allies came from the south and west, kind of like how the Italians did it.
My great great grandfather was a general in the Polish cavalry during WW1 and fell in combat leading a charge
Wow lost for words ..................
Now I would like to see a movie about this gentleman. This is the kind of war that Americans don’t hear about, Patriots fighting for their country no matter what the odds are.
Salute 🫡
Great Britain's allies and enemies pay dearly for their cause
please you guys had the germans outnumbered hundreds of thousands to 1 and they still put belt to ass
Great video, great man! If he could only see everything now, named after him and everything! 🙂
All the best soldiers lie about their age.
like big boss
All’s fair in love and war.
The most dangerous are those who wear lipstick instead of uniforms and offer you beer to help keep up the disguise.
Dark Docs do video on Katyn .
Hey dude, you got a bear down in there with you.
How did he have 50 men first and then 70 men later on tho ? :')
Recruits...
Most likely, men who lost or became separated from their units.
What is history than a fable agreed upon. Napoleon

Der Content ist gut, aber lasst doch bitte einen Menschen den KI Kommentar kontrollieren 0:26 " hatten Monatelang den Nazis entkommen", 0:33 " schloss sich das Netz"? Das macht irgendwie alles kaputt.
👍👍👍
❤❤❤

Thumbnail is Vietnam
In the video it showed Red army troops 😂
I don't think Poland had a border with Romania in WWII
yes it did , Poland looked very different before WW2
_Gott, hat da mal wieder Google übersetzt?!_
We all know it was the Red Army who expelled the Nazis from Poland Poles had no choice since they were to weak to stand against the Soviet juggernaut
What a joke.
Without lendlease and multifront assistance dividing the Nazis, the Soviets were just as weak as the Frenchies.
God bless Little European Texas!!!
Please stop using the stupid click bait images.

Father Was In WW11 Germany And Uncle WW 11 South Pacific God bless America and family and friends and Troops 😊
He was a hero of his people, BUT.. his people should not blame other nations of imperialism and invasions as Poland was for HUNDRED OF YEARS an EMPIRE which spreading TERROR over countries around them and TORTURED any leaders which fighting for freedom in occupied countries. Some said that even before ww2 the polish people humiliated and terorized german minority from poland (there are some PHOTOS too)
First i think :)
Nobody cares, just enjoy the video. 😊
2nd lol
Sorry, I think the USSR invaded on the other side, which is why Germany joined the fun... to keep the USSR back with a buffer zone.
Germany invaded Poland on September 1,1939, starting WWII. The Soviet Union invaded on September 17, following the terms of their secret agreement with Germany to divide Poland. That is not an opinion. It is a fact that can be found in every history book.
Sorry, your wrong
@@davidkinsey8657 Kinda as I said. Germany (and Italy) NOT interested in a communist type society -- and they knew who were behind those efforts.
Make the problem and be the solution!
Geno-sides started before Shartler got appointed like the corrupt planted agent he probably was.
Nobody cared is why Notseeism was able to gain so much power in Germany, as an opposition to communist horrors being ignored.
Sounds familiar..
Russia and Germany split Poland at first. Later Germany attacked Russia.
