My grandfather was send to Siberia. The russians gave his family 2hrs to pack... they came back after war to Poland but lost my grandfather's father and little brother in Siberia. We should never forget about all those people ❤
Madam, from where in Poland are your family members? In this video a similar and as emotional background story appears too. ruclips.net/video/mhVDtIuXfVg/видео.html
My gran was through with Germans when they kill her brother in the back alley because he was in age for fight, she said when Russians came they hide everything including animals as they where butchering people and animals same way, two neighborhood houses burn down to dust....she survived 103 , she told us how.
As a Pole who lived 11 years in Scotland, I can only thank you for promoting Poland. I love your accent. Scotland was our second home and I think Poles and Scots share simmilar heart for freedom.
So you can understand now why Poland is getting armed so strong. We have learnt - we are saying "Jeśli na kogoś liczysz, licz na siebie" - If you want to count on someone, count on yourself.

I’m from Poland and thank you for this YT video. In Europe people forgot about position of Poland in WW II… We are proud of our history and we are happy to show our perspective on WW II.
According to the data contained in the NKVD materials, a total of about 325,000 citizens of pre-war Poland were deported to the East in four large deportations. Of these, 64.6% were Poles, 21.5% Jews, 7.7% Ukrainians and 6.2% Belarusians. Some historians, including Norman Davis, believe that the deportees were several times more than the official statistics. It should also be remembered that, in addition to those deported during the four great deportations, nearly 100,000 prisoners arrested in Kresy by the NKVD also went to Siberia. About 60% of the detainees were Poles.
I think because you're from Scotland, you can pronounce Polish phrases better than English. It's because you can pronounce the "r" freely. Greetings from Poland. Cheers!
I shed tears during this video. It isn't every day that you meet a person from abroad who talks like that about Poland, which isn't very appreciated. Every time someone tells me the history of Poland during the WW2, I'm proud to be Polish!❤🇵🇱 PS: sorry for spelling mistakes (if any) because I used a translator😅
Troche histori ,podczas obchodu zwyciestwa i zakonczenia wojny w Londynie odbyla sie parada z okazji konca wojny na ktora zaproszono tylko jeden polski dywizjon 303 a nasi piloci w podziece odmowili uczestnictwa w tej paradzie,poniewaz pominieto wszystkich pozostalych Polskich pilotow uczestniczacych w bitwie o Anglie
Nie zaprosili ich. Dali im 3 dni na opuszczenie kraju. Moj pra wujek, Zdzisław Krasnodębski, alas Król, założyciel i pierwszy dowódca 303 , wyemigrował do Toronto gdzie był…taksówkarzem. Prochy Zdzisława i jego żony Wandy zostały sprowadzone kilka lat temu do Polski i spoczęły na Warszawskich Powązkach.
Thank you for words of truth and respect for our grandfathers. Everything you see in this short movie is true, we payed high prize for your western freedom and we were betrayed in Yalta forced under Soviet occupation since 1945 till 1989. Greethings from Poland
@@Turek0020 As long as you realise if it wasn't for the UK you and your family would be a smouldering pile of ashes on the floor of a nazi death camp crematorium and swastikas would STILL be flying over Warsaw. Don't let your ignorance convince you otherwise.
Cieszę się, że niektórzy ludzie z zagranicy doceniają to co zostało zapomniane. To jest niesamowite. Jestem ci za to wdzięczny. I could wrote this in English but I had not. Please translate a polish part of coment
Przecież możesz użyć google translator nawet jeśli nie znasz angielskiego :) "I'm glad that some people from abroad appreciate what has been forgotten. This is amazing. I am grateful to you for this."
Poles, as the only nation that fought against Germany in World War II, could not participate in the Victory Parade. This was Stalin's will... and the Allies agreed to it :(
My grandfather was arrested by Soviets in 1939. His only crime was to be a Polish Soldier. He survived, because, he escaped from the train to Siberia. Many of his colegues were not so lucky
I'm Polish. Thank you very much for publicizing how the Soviet Union treated our ancestors (for me Russia is their heir) and other aspects of our history.
Quit all of my great grandparents fight in Warsaw uprising. One of my great grandfather was silent soldier (soldiers that in nights jump with parachute to Poland to support underground government), and second great grandfather was in concentration camp in Norway, from which he escaped and returned to Poland ON FOOT. I'm proud of my country, I'm proud of my history, I'm proud of my family ❤
I'm from Poland and thank you for this video ❤ Not many people know our history. Today, even young Poles know less and less about it. And "A nation that does not know its history is doomed to repeat it"...
I ❤ POLAND! Grew up in California, my grandparents came here after American troops set them free by shooting the engine of the train taking them to Dachau. We are truly grateful for our lives here and proud of our Polish heritage. We still keep in touch with family there and I took my sons there to see for themselves what their great grandparents went through- I feel it is important to remember and praise those who gave everything for us to have anything. ❤
Thank you for promoting polish history! Highly appreciated. My grandpa’s cousin was founder and first commander of squadron 303, Urbanowicz was his close friend and when Zdzislaw was shot down he was flying around him to keep German planes away…my grand grand uncle was severely burnt, but English villagers helped him and he was teaching from the ground sience then. Urbanowicz took his place as a commander. My grand grand uncle name was Zdzislaw Krasnodębski, alas “Krol” (“The King”). They were stationed in Northolt…Now I am living in Northolt. ☺️
my first vid on your channel. I'm aPolish guy and i really respect your take. My family members died in the uprising, some were deported - this is sadly still recent history in Polish families. we don't beg for anything- we earn what's ours
Hello, I'm Polish but I live in Scotland. Thank you for showing the truth, stories about my country. My great-grandfather died in Auschwitz Birkenau in Oświęcim in a German death camp and it always pains me that people always write such stupid things about my country because they don't know our history. We are the country that has had the most wars in the world, and yet we are still together, we will always be strong and we will always fight for our land, homeland, families, freedom. When I came to Scotland, I met a lot of fantastic Scots who in their history also had grandparents, great-grandparents from Poland, many of them had already visited Poland and were fascinated by my country, culture, and the beauty of Poland. In Scotland I felt such a brotherly bond with the Scots, I also know your history and I know how hard it was for Scotland to fight against England. I've been to the top with the William Wallace monument many many times and I love so much this place and view... Greetings from the "heart of Scotland" 😊 Poland🇵🇱❤Scotland🏴❤Love❤Peace❤
Thank you for this reaction and about your thoughts you should watch bloody foreigners - untold battle of britain you will understand moore about Polish people and British as well
Dziękuje Ci za to co robisz. Tak, to prawda, że cierpieliśmy, moi dwaj kuzyni byli w wojsku podziemnym, dzielnie walczyli, ale obaj zostali zabici przez Niemców. Jeden został postrzelony i zagryzły go psy niemieckie. Drugi został postrzelony podczas łapanki, ale udało mu się uciec do domu, usiadł na ławce przed domem i wtedy nadjechał patrol niemiecki pościgowy, wysiedli z samochodów i dobili go przed domem. To prawda jesteśmy odważni, sam wiem, że ja również będę walczył o swój kraj gdy przyjdzie taka konieczność i bił się o każdą ziemię, która potrzebuje pomocy jak moi przodkowie - to płynie w naszej krwi...
Thank You very much for Your interest in Poland and its history. The history of Poland is difficult and often tragic, but very interesting. If only there were more people like You - willing to find out more and learn the facts. Have You visited Poland already? If not, You should definitely come, to see and experience our country and people in real. Best wishes from Poland to You.
Im a Polish Muslim and i want firstly thank you for your time, secondly i takes my heart warm that you so aware! Please, be aware of whats happening now in Palestine, these people are in such situation as we were.. We need to talk about it that history of Poland doesnt repeat in Palestine!
It warms our hearts to hear even a bit of respect and support for our country. Thank you, genuinely. The history is still alive here today, having its reach affecting our lives even in the current day. Even the memories of the time of war are still fresh in some people. My grandmother used to tell us about the war from her perspective, through the eyes of a young girl, when she and her family would hide from planes, afraid of bombarding, of the occupant, of the potential death and consequences for their family and everyone around, especially when there were many cases of helping to hide Polish Jews, despite the threat of everyone in the vicinity for such an act. She told how even people who were stripped of everything, with barely anything to their name, would help each other. How they would often go multiple days with barely anything solid to eat, how her brothers were almost killed when they - as little boys - were trying to run post to help their fellow Polish fighters. Same with tales of my grand uncle, who escaped death at least twice - once, when the only thing that saved him was a curse word, as he started to yell out curses when they were trying to take him away as a part of "inteligencja" (not sure how to say it in English - "inteligencja" as people with high education, which our opressors were trying to eradicate, so that only people without education could be left behind, performing labour for them without asking many questions). The enemy soldiers who were trying to take him decided that he couldn't be of scholarly background since he could swear as viciously as he did back there. So, he was let go and avoided potential death for the first time. The second time, he was actually already captured and held on a speeding train, being taken away to what was almost a guarantee of death or at least life of slavery (although, from what he said, it seems like they were almost certainly transported to be executed). His friend was there, alongside him. They did the only thing they could - somehow managed to loosen a plank of wood, far enough that they could squeeze through it and jump from the train. It was driving fast, he said. They considered that they would likely die if they jumped - but so would they if they stayed. So, my uncle jumped first. His friend was supposed to go right after him - but he never did. Uncle never heard from him, ever again. And so my uncle, with injuries from the jump and in the middle of nowhere, with no clue where he was, started a treck towards what he hoped would eventually lead him home. He was missing for almost two years, everyone from his family thinking he was already dead. When he finally miraculously made it somehow back - to the house of his sister, who lived in another town, somehow managing to find his way there - she didn't even recognize him at first, not with the toll his journey took on him. There were many more stories like this. I suppose almost anyone with old enough granparents, or especially someone who had a chance to talk with their great grandparents, knows many, many similar cases. It's good to know about the past to acknowledge it and preserve its memory, whenever it tries to become twisted for today's purposes. To be more protective of what we have today, to preserve peace, to try to prevent conflict as much as we can. Sending best wishes.
that would be so sick, please do! “Wojtek the beer drinking bear” it was a bear that was an official soldier with rank and payroll that fought alongside Poles whom traded like a can of beans, chocolate bar and a jack-knife for it and raised it up since he was a scrub. He used to sit down with them around the camp fire, wrestle with them, drink larger, smoke cigs and carry ammunition on the battlefield lol. It’s 100% true story with no exaggeration.
Moj dziadek walczył na wojnie, pływał statkami podwodnymi, pływał jako żolnierz na okręcie błyskawica, został postrzelony w plecy przez nazistów ale przeżył. Trauma wojny była z nim do końca...
I always cry when thinking about our history, and this is so sad that you and other countries never hear about Polish true history... My grand grandmother hear about the nazis coming, and she took her 4 children to hide in the forest - when they got back after a few days every people in his village was murdered... My second grandmother lived near Lwów - Ukrainians murdered all Polish people who didn't escape... History is so sad... Thank you for your commitment to the desire to get to know our country. Big hug, regards from Poland ❤🇵🇱
Thank you!! I live here, I celebrate the days of glory of our fallen heroes, but we don't see it this way on a daily basis. It is normal for us to live this way, to raise children this way... but we rarely think about how much effort and blood was shed for our peace. Thank you once again ! Glory to the heroes!

Thank you for this reaction video. I think that you had a similar quote in your history "ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM"
I really appriciate Your work, hope that this spread aroung Scotland as I've met few Scotch, which have totally different optics at what happened during II WW and during cold war...
This spine-tngling voice is of course the great Sean Bean's one😊. I can listen to him for hours and hours. Ps. We went through a lot as a nation. All of Polish families have the history of their hereos, not only soliders but also common citizens who fought and suffer "for our and your freedom",( as Joachim Lelewel wrote in 1831) that mustn't be forgotten. There should be more films, games, etc. Educating the world on that isuee in the modern and attractive way.
Its nice to see that people are learniing about Poland and the fight. In your other video when zee germans was talking about black devils that was gen. Maczek. My grandfather was in his unit liberating Holland. After the war he was sentenced to death by communist upon his return. He managed to be 5 years in prison and then was released.
Grandfather of my mom, was running from the ukrainians without shoes, when he was 6. He's still alive, He told me about this and now we're helping them escape from the war.
06:30 you need to check few videos about Polish Fighter Squadron 303 in British RAF. Those guys had has most kills in British RAF by lowest own losses.
If you are interested in the history of Poland, it is worth listening to Sabaton's song "40:1". The text refers to the Battle of Wizna, called Polish Thermopylae.

His friend was there, alongside him. They did the only thing they could - somehow managed to loosen a plank of wood, far enough that they could squeeze through it and jump from the train. It was driving fast, he said. They considered that they would likely die if they jumped - but so would they if they stayed. So, my uncle jumped first. His friend was supposed to go right after him - but he never did. Uncle never heard from him, ever again.
And so my uncle, with injuries from the jump and in the middle of nowhere, with no clue where he was, started a treck towards what he hoped would eventually lead him home. He was missing for almost two years, everyone from his family thinking he was already dead. When he finally miraculously made it somehow back - to the house of his sister, who lived in another town, somehow managing to find his way there - she didn't even recognize him at first, not with the toll his journey took on him.
There were many more stories like this. I suppose almost anyone with old enough granparents, or especially someone who had a chance to talk with their great grandparents, knows many, many similar cases.
It's good to know about the past to acknowledge it and preserve its memory, whenever it tries to become twisted for today's purposes. To be more protective of what we have today, to preserve peace, to try to prevent conflict as much as we can.
Sending best wishes.

I am a Polish living in Scotland Perth. Can you make reactions about the story of the bear wojtek? After the war he stayed at the Edinburgh Zoo
ruclips.net/video/twr38iHXYVw/видео.html
that would be so sick, please do!
“Wojtek the beer drinking bear” it was a bear that was an official soldier with rank and payroll that fought alongside Poles whom traded like a can of beans, chocolate bar and a jack-knife for it and raised it up since he was a scrub. He used to sit down with them around the camp fire, wrestle with them, drink larger, smoke cigs and carry ammunition on the battlefield lol. It’s 100% true story with no exaggeration.

Mate I’m Polish living in Glasgow for 13 years. Thank you for your work
My grandpa was sent to labor on a farm in Germany (i think so i dont remember exactly) and now he is still with us right now he is 94 or 93 years old
Love you man have a nice and safe life mate 🤙
Greetings from Poland👍💪
Thank you!🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
I always cry when thinking about our history, and this is so sad that you and other countries never hear about Polish true history... My grand grandmother hear about the nazis coming, and she took her 4 children to hide in the forest - when they got back after a few days every people in his village was murdered... My second grandmother lived near Lwów - Ukrainians murdered all Polish people who didn't escape... History is so sad... Thank you for your commitment to the desire to get to know our country. Big hug, regards from Poland ❤🇵🇱
Thank you!! I live here, I celebrate the days of glory of our fallen heroes, but we don't see it this way on a daily basis. It is normal for us to live this way, to raise children this way... but we rarely think about how much effort and blood was shed for our peace. Thank you once again !
Glory to the heroes!
Sad, but this is our history. Gratnest from Poland! Polska górą! 👍🏻
POLSKA GÓRĄ 💪🇵🇱
My Polacy z nasza historia jestesmy bardzo zwiazani,honor i duma polaka jest wzorem dla wielu narodow
Nie rozśmieszaj mnie
Może coś ćpie, albo w dupie był, gówno widział? :D Mów za siebie, a nie jak ciota kaczkowata z rządu za wszystkich...
Bóg, honor i ojczyzna. Zawsze dla prawdziwego Polaka najważniejsze. Tu nie ma nic śmiesznego. A ten twój przydomek widzę nie trafiony. Powinno być matkaruskaonuca.
@@rafapodawczyk7109 Mama wie, że ćpiesz pajacu?
@@rafapodawczyk7109 wiesz, że Bóg, Honor, Ojczyzna było sentencją powstałą z ramienia komunistów? Za baga swego czasu nawet Stalina mieli. Honor wobec partii, a mateczka Rosja była im Ojczyzną wspomnianą.
My grandad was a pilot and take a part of Battle for Britain❤
Sending Respect yo ❤❤
We have resistance in our blood, there is nothing more precious and beautiful than fighting for our own freedom--- greetings from Poland
Thank you for this reaction video. I think that you had a similar quote in your history "ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM"
Don't EVER apologize for things you have not done!
But that smile in the end was more than words! Thank you for promoting our history!
We never ask, we never beg, we never kneel. We fight, we give back twice, we crush obstacles in our path, we Poles. Family, homeland, pride.❤
I really appriciate Your work, hope that this spread aroung Scotland as I've met few Scotch, which have totally different optics at what happened during II WW and during cold war...
This spine-tngling voice is of course the great Sean Bean's one😊. I can listen to him for hours and hours. Ps. We went through a lot as a nation. All of Polish families have the history of their hereos, not only soliders but also common citizens who fought and suffer "for our and your freedom",( as Joachim Lelewel wrote in 1831) that mustn't be forgotten. There should be more films, games, etc. Educating the world on that isuee in the modern and attractive way.

Its nice to see that people are learniing about Poland and the fight. In your other video when zee germans was talking about black devils that was gen. Maczek. My grandfather was in his unit liberating Holland. After the war he was sentenced to death by communist upon his return. He managed to be 5 years in prison and then was released.

And they fought less time than British squadrons

If you are interested in the history of Poland, it is worth listening to Sabaton's song "40:1". The text refers to the Battle of Wizna, called Polish Thermopylae.
Sabatone have more songs about Poland.
Uprising
Inmate 4859
Winged Hussars
Aces in exile(that song its not just about polish soliders)
i am from poland too and im a history liker :)
