Wiatold Pilecki was the Polish officer who deliberately got sent to Auschwitz. His mossion was to find out what was going on in the camps. He escaped and reported to the Allies and they wouldn't believe him, they thought the poles were trying to manipulate them. He was an extraordinarily brave hero.
You forgot the part where he armed Jews but they were too cowardly to fight. Then he stated that the Germans were nothing and that the true enemy were the Soviets who then promptly executed him
Correction. He stated that what he faced in Aushwitz was nothing in comparrision to what he faced in Soviet Prison. Dont twist the man's words@@kaisercollins3097
Except now you willingly participate with communists and support the Christian genocide going on in Ukraine. I mean you have a communist dictator now hopefully he will be overthrown but the clock is ticking@@karolinabaker7637
There are tones of anglo-saxon superiority and pro-german propaganda in history taught in English. This is why English is absolutely critical to saving all westerners from real nationalistic superiority complexes within the west...
I’m an American that doesn’t have a drop of Polish blood, but I’m deeply fascinated by the country. I admire their spirit and patriotism. With all the crap they’ve been through, they stay strong and feisty and unspeakably brave. Their language is beautiful, too. I’ve been trying to learn Polish, but hasn’t been easy. I’m determined to see it through, though.
I'm english but my mother is polish and i'd like to learn it to suprise her and her family but its so hard, I can recognise words from when my mum speaks on the phone and can figure out what it means but yeah, I feel you man
I'm french, and I entirely share your opinion. Polish history and culture are impressive, I wish my people had the same patriotism. Here in France if you say you like the french history you are called a fascist. It is frowned upon to possess a flag or show that you love the country. People, especially migrants burn the flag on a regular basis, and you can go to jail if you act against them, even if it is only verbally. I wish I was born a pole, these people have a good head on their shoulders. They understand that it is common sense to love your country and its people. They are not plagued by self hatred and they have a sense of belonging as a people, which is not the case anymore for western europe. I'm currently trying to learn polish too, this is challenging, but definitely interesting !
@wilgefortisohlin568 though there's an argument we weren't 'English' when the Romans were here , only after the Anglo saxons came over. But then the Norman's invaded and never left, so you could even argue we as britons never gained our independence from the Norman's or Anglo saxons. History is complicated lol
@@wilgefortisohlin568 spoken from the paradigm in which nationalism is a bad thing. English people celebrating England and being English would get them arrested in England. And that - no matter how you spin that, and no matter how much you engage in language games and historical revisionism - is very very odd.
The priest mentioned that sacrificed himself for the Sargent was Saint Maximillian Kolbe, the way the death punishment happened was by killing them by hunger and sleep deprivation of the 10 put there, Kolbe was the only one that didn’t die by starvation, the Germans gave him a lethal injection because many days had passed and while everyone else had died he was still alive. They say he was praying the entire time since he was put in there
What a great Saint! Alot to live up to. What Faith! What love! A true representative of Christ. If only we could have a small portion of His love for God we would be on the right path.

Hello sir, great video, thank you. One thing I need to clarify - Polish patriots were chanting "Polak w Polsce gospodarzem", which means "Polish man in Poland is a HOST" but you translated it to "MASTER". I think it changes the whole meaning of this chant. We don't want to have slaves here, we just want to feel like a host in our own country. Cheers ;)
in english the word "master" doesn't always imply having slaves etc. it is also just a word synonymous with gospodarz or a host. of course the word "host" would fit better but yeah
nah, it's a decent transaltion. It's "master" as in the "master" of the house, aka owner. Which is what "gospodarzem" means: you are the owner of the house, hence you are the host.
Man Polish people are so nice and have such an amazing spirit and bravery…. Really shameful and disgraceful that my government doesnt apologise for 1943-44 what happened at Wolyn, honestly we don’t deserve their kindness. Even if they stop supporting us in the future I will always be very grateful for their help
He's referring to Ukraine and the murder of around 100,000 Polish civilians. That's where the name Bandera comes in. Watch the Polish film Hatred, then understand how the pro-Russian Ukrainian population have been treated since the end of the USSR, before repeating 'Slava Ukraini'. What is happening there is simply a Russian police action. My Polish mother and grandmother were both sent on a one way trip to Siberia in 1940 by the Russians, so I'm hardly pro-Russian.
@@peterrhodes5663why are you bringing Russia’s invasion into this? I’m trying to make amends to Poland on behalf of my country, take your Kremlin nonsense somewhere else lmao, “Russian police action” get the fuck out of here
The anchor on the armband is a symbol of Polish resistance. It contains letters "P" and "W" which stand either for "Polska walcząca" (you can translate it to "fighting Poland") or "Pomścimy Wawer" ("We shall avenge Wawer"), in reference to the 1939 Wawer massacre, which was considered to be one of the first large scale massacres of Polish civilians by German troops in occupied Poland. You can find it on English Wikipedia under "kotwica".
ah, "never again" slogan... the reason why nazis came into power in the first place after the disgrace and abuse that they were subjected to after ww1 conclusion, the reason why Israel became a fascistic state as well, and now Poland follwing the same glorious path of dipshits.
You completely missed the Russian-Polish War of 1918-1921 where the Polish defeated the Russian, Red Army Bolsheviks and consolidated their new nation state. This is a very important part of modern Polish history.
Not only that. This victory saved Europe from communist takeover.Germany would have fallen easy they had communist uprisings all the time. In France was so traumatized by Great War they took would have folded not to mention there was also high support for Bolsheviks. Battle of Warsaw 1920 is one of the 40 battles that changed the face of the world. It's such a crime that Poles don't celebrate their triumphs. Instead they celebrate defeats and atrocities done to them with a fervor of a masochist.😢
Well poland did get a lot of help from the international community, for the better of course But i doubt the polish would have done as well if they did not receive as much support, also they were lucky the soviet army wasen't exactly that good of an army at the time
@@IvanIvanovsky-gs9hj They did not receive any help except ammo from Hungary and a handful of private American volunteers. 3 different partitions patchwork army and yet they managed to beat back the Bolshevik hordes. In short a magnificent triumph of Polish arms. You are a Russian I take it? You should weep that whites lost with the reds and delivered you the horror of Stalinism. Poland managed to save Europe from that horrible fate... Although not herself from 1939 on...
Именно. Этим и можно объяснить судьбу Польши. СССР и Польша Пилсутцкого не были добродушными соседями, а были врагами. Большевики даже считали что Польша с Третьим Рейхом обьединятся против СССР, но у Гитлера были другие планы.
@@dennischingpen-gs5zn no, the times of changing European borders is over. There are not many Poles left there either, no point in promoting such outdated ideas. Józef Piłsudski promoted Prometheanism, or anti-imperialism. Poland asking back for those regions would be imperialism.

Went to Poland towards the end of November to Kraków. 22 hours total travel time. First holiday in 13 years and first time travelling outside of England on my own. I loved it. Walked round Kraków very late at night. Felt relavtively safe to be honest. Lived in both leicester and Nottingham and now a small lincolnshire town. Wouldn’t catch me walking round any of them at night. I felt very very unsafe in these cities. And that was going back 15 years.
Respect to the Polish for keeping their country and unique national identity despite being raped from all sides for centuries. No wonder they are pretty nationalist. Good job Callum
Gonna be open with you, it's just Warsaw, across the country these marches are calmer and way less extremist. Basically this part 9:18, without this part 14:50.

I have never seen Poland from this side. This march is a spectacular sight. Anti-everything and pro-everything meet up to march together for Polish independance. And even though Russians and Poles have terrible relations, as a Russian, I like Poland a lot. Боже, храни Польшу!
Frankly,we Poles like more ordinary Russians than ungrateful and demanding nazi Ukrainians whom we are sick and tired of right now.Looks like all the help we have offered them means nothing,they demand more and more and more.We don't even deserve saying sorry for Volhynia and the burial of the victims therof.Sad but true.
As a romanian, its an honour to share the same continent with such based people like poles. And no, Poland is not East Europe. Poland is Central Europe. Please stop piling up everybody east of Germany in one big group, its kind of annoying. We are not some kind of homogenous sea of people you know, we all have our own history, culture, values, traditions... why is that so hard to understand ?
@@PatrykAlexanderI see. Interesting to hear a pole calling his people east european, I heard many others disagreeing with that. But even those poles should agree that poles are closer to east europeans than they are to westerners ( this video in a sense proves it ). And there is no shame in being east european. Being associated with russia and therefore being ashamed of that is a silly argument that I sometimes hear. Makes zero sense, we all know Poland could not be more different than russia. In fact nobody is like russia and russians except russians. Regardless if a pole said he is east european I will respect his opinion.

@@ahmetmayradertli6430 Good, materialism is a false ideology. Only in recent times have humans come up with the idea that only visible things exist--and where does that get us? Ask the USSR.
Poland has a point in that if a second front was opened up while Germany was engaging Poland’s million man army , and didn’t wait for Germany to beat Poland, get their army rested and refitted, and then take over France, would have been much easier.
I think the true betrayal is how the biritsh have mislead them into thinking they would intervene for them. Poland in the prelude of the war was really confident and bold in their engagement with Germany. Considering how vastly superior the German military was, this only makes sense in the context of Britains guarantees of protection. And when the war finally came the British declared war and did nothing.
@@timokohler6631 From my understanding, it was actually the French generals that mislead us the most. One of them explicitly promised an immediate invasion of Germany should they attack. Technically they did eventually attack Germany for a bit but retreated promptly. The so-called 'Phoney War' period of WW2, before the German invasion of France.
@@SoulReaperIsHere Either way, neither England nor France could have protected Poland from Germany and Russia. The only thing they were really good at was making big promises. I don't know what would have happened but I am sure if the polish Government knew how useless the protection from Britain and France is going to be they would have played their cards differently, and potentially prevent being steamrolled from both sides. After all Germany and Russia hated each other just as much if not even more then Poland.
@@timokohler6631 the actual betrayal was yalta; we were sold off to stalin for all the blood we have spilled during the battle of britain with 303; montecasino or even market garden.

First solo video I've watched of yours Callum. Powerful, well balanced and informative. Better journalism than anything you'll find in the mainstream media. Keep if up my brother.
Nationalism historically in western Europe and russia was meant to celebrate domination over weaker ones, while in Central Europe it was a struggle to regain independence (usually from russo-western european domination). Polish nationalism is not about expansion and conquest but about minding our own business and not allowing for foreign domination. It's NOT about removing some nationalities from Poland etc.
How about conquests of soviet-polish war? When Poland take a lot of ethnic belorussian and ukrainian land. How about commonwealth that fight Russia for smolensk, made repression of the Orthodox that lead to uprising of Bogdan Khmelnytsky. It is so funny to read about "Polish exceptionalism"😂
@@didisjsn BS. First of all - Poland took those lands after soviet-PL war. And thanks to this those ethnic Belarussians and Ukrainians have not been starved to death during great hunger or were not executed by NKVD during communist terror. ussr was much WORSE than "polish occupation". And those ppl learned this the hard way after ww2. :) Millions executed, tortured and brainwashed by soviet regimes. Secondly - As a Pole I would prefere after PL-soviet war an outcome where Belarussians and Ukrainians got their SOVEREIGN democratic countries that would be allied with Poland. THIS is what I would do. Unfortunatelly PL didn't believed in the military power of those countries and assumed that if they were independent they would fall in 5-10 years... In case of Commonwealth there were NO repressions from PL side. The Commonwealth was not conquest but political fusion of 2 states. ALL royal families and aristocrats on the "rus side" remained in power and kept their fiefs. The only thing that changed was fact that now their feudal lord was residing in Kraków. This were feudal times. So if anything happened it was due to incompetence of RUS/LITHUANIAN feudal lords. PS. Bohdan Khmielnitsky rebellion was NOT about "orthodox faith" but because Ukrainian Cossacks wanted to receive noble titles sooner than it was planned anyway. They wanted to be threated like noble family members, not peasants.
@@trollfake9578 So, basically, "our regime was better than theirs anyway"? That is literally the same imperialist justification used by any western European country.

Even worse, youre Woke, u hate your own men, your men are soy, single mothers everywhere, broken families.. and it's Wokeness letting millions of immigrants in.. your problem is yourselves
I get the same feeling. I visited England some 30 years ago for the first time. It looked English and really nice. Then I visited London only a few years ago and it looked like Afghanistan
america is starting to feel the same in major cities too. seems like nationalism isn't a bad thing if you want to preserve your country, culture, and people.
There is a lot that foreigner don't get about polish nationalism. Every person who live now and for last decades, had someone in family killed, raped, destroyed, rammed, tortured and dislocated. For every foreign audience, this is only scenes of numbers and some kind of horror story, similar to what they can hear about francestain or Draculę. More similar to fantasy than reality, because these things were some horrible that common person cannot even imagine. But you should keep in mind that for poles it's not story, there are killed our grandfather mother, uncles and cousins, every hold here have someone in family killed in concentration camps, in uprising or on fronts all over the Europe, we fought in Italy, France, England for Soviets for Brits, everywhere to take revenge for our people, our sisters and brother, our fathers and mothers tortured for years, killed like animals in tousants. There is another misconception that Jews wasn't polish, Jews killed in Poland, were not an unicorns living amongst us, there were noemal polish citisens just worhiping other religion, they spoke in polish, they lived in our cities and lived in our families. And despite this all, we fought, because nationalism, love for our nation and culture was for centuries the only thing that kept us alive, kept us fighting for not glory and fame, territory and resources it kept us fighting for our lives
On top of what I said earlier, we are called often racists for keeping these national movements and not supporting minorities and BLM in particular. Tell me, then, how many polish people had slaves, how many had colonies and opressed these minorities. Then tell me why our soldiers fought for your freedom, our generals and soldiers fought for abolishing slavery in many places including africa and america. Then tell me this, how many of you fought for liberation of us, how many of you fought to stop slavery of MY people and Holocaust. Not for winning the world war, for gains of your country. How many helped in the uprising, how many helped when cattle carts were moving my people to slavery camps in siberia, how many helped when we were killed on street for show for speaking wrong language. Why we should care about you if you never carried a damn thing about us.

As a Russian I just want to say to Polish people, that even though Russian propaganda is strong, my love to Poland is stronger. I know Polish people doesn't like Russia but it doesn't change for me anything.
We Polish people don’t hate Russian people on the merit of them being Russian, but because of the imperialistic mindset still present in many Russian people and we have seen this prove itself evident in the Russian people’s support for this war. It begs the question that if Russians are capable of doing this to their true Eastern Orthodox brothers of which your blood is shared, what would you be willing to do to us Poles or to our friends in the Baltic nations? Prior to the war in Ukraine, being fellow Slavs I viewed Russians quite favorably, but having seen street interviews conducted in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, amongst others since the start of the fratricidal war in Ukraine, the vast majority of Russian citizens have done little in the way of making themselves appear sympathetic, with their biggest concern being sanctions and not the war between brothers being fought in the steppe. I think of Pilsudski’s quote - “Russia is an Asian beast hiding behind a European mask." Because I mentioned those three major cities, I will add my own anecdotal observation and say that it appeared to me that the people of Novosibirsk were far less apolitical compared to their counterparts in Russia’s two largest cities, but as stated this is only anecdotal based on a small sample size of course.
@@Konrad9119 There is nothing imperialistic in Russia's actions. It's the west that is imperialistic and draws closer and closer to Russia, making threats. The fact that some people see Russian imperialism is the result of western propaganda. Russians don't want war. They want peace and security. But when one country attacks another, and all peace negotiations fail or play to your disadvantage, then there is no choice but to invade this country and overthrow their government to make it stop. But if you know that this country will keep being used for that purpose, then you have to occupy it's territory as well. That's unfortunately how war works, and invaded country and it's allies will do everything to portray the invader as the aggressor, disregarding their previous aggression. And in the world with so many lies, determining who started it first might be the hardest thing to do for some people. They are simply hiding facts from you. And you are still very russophobic, as seen clearly in your speech.
@@Konrad9119 You know how Ukraine have started the aggression? It very much didn't strive for peace with Russia, as you could see. It had the control over Russia's historic territories, and Russia allowed that, for as long as Ukraine respected that. But when Ukraine started to "de-russify" them, and wanted to join NATO so that they could get away with it, that is when the citizens of these territories who still disagree with that policty and didn't choose it, wanted to separate to save their land. That is when Ukraine started to attack them, and in the process attacking Russia as well in it's territority, spying, doing acts of terror and assassinations. Because they believed that it's all Russia who is responsible for that their own people hate them, and want to be friends with Russia. But that is not true, Russia was hesitating to enter until 2022, which it considers a mistake now, as it should've been started earlier. Ukraine is full of absurdly nationalistic ideas, where it sees Russia as the source of all of their problems. Despite the fact how much Russia actually gave them. And if you dig even deeper, then you could see that this is all for the benefit of NATO, to fully separate Ukraine from the Russian civilisation, also known as the Russian world. USA have orchestrated a coup in 2014, where the radical minority took power. There is a leaked phone call of how they choose the president of Ukraine. They manipulate the propaganda inside the country. And now they don't hesitate to send them all to war, because it's slavic people. And one last mention for the glorification of nazism in Ukraine, which you should already know. If anything, they would use Poland for the same purpose, because they also control it.
As a American, it always blows my mind how many people view patriotism as a bad thing. My country is my first focus, and that shouldn’t be frowned upon. Good on Poland for celebrating a great achievement
@@EdBate obviously. The average American citizen doesn’t take fondly to fascist and’s authoritarians. Just like the video said, 1940s Germany ruined the meaning of nationalism. You won’t find a country that hates communist and authoritarians more than Americans. Thanks for the comment, friend

Welcome, welcome! By the way, when you're there dine somewhere with żurek or grochówka (soups), eat a pierogi or schabowy. Check out Malbork, Pszczyna.... Visit the Bory Tucholskie, the Masurian Lake District. From the larger cities, visit yourself the beautiful Wroclaw and Krakow. Because you know everyone will visit Warsaw (aka Default City) but we really have many breathtaking locations where even the Poles themselves admire. And I'm sure you'll be welcomed nicely in every place.
It's really a march of everyone. I remember in 2022, a group of Polish nationalists who supported Ukrainian and Belarusian independence had a fist fight with a group of Polish nationalists who supported Russia. Truly, everyone of all sides enjoying the day off.
It really is inspiring to see so many people on so many different sides of politics, with different world views and different moralities, and yet still able to agree on something and share in the patriotism for their country. We need more of that everywhere else.
@@RiskOfBaer each country is different with its history. and especially poland with its shaky existence probably realized that they have to stick together no matter what. Just across the border it's a different story here in Germany but the funny thing is patriotism still exists. We just put it on the region or something bigger. Here in Bavaria people are either patriotic of Bavaria or of the EU, but never ever for Germany. They wear Lederhosen in March, have a bavarian flag with Ludwig II on it flying in their garden, speak with the thickest accent, hum the hymn of Bavaria, etc but then see someone with a flag of Germany on their balcony and go "ew wtf some nationalist."
I’m always excited to see Callum’s latest travels chronicled and contemplated. He’s become my favorite Lotus Eater for a variety of reasons from pointed wit to open mockery of buffoonery, but his travel videos are next-level in their audaciousness.

I’ve always admired the resilience of the Poles, and this was great for helping me understand the motivations and conflicts underlying modern Poland. Thank you, Callum!

First of all as a a Pole, I'm really thankful for you making this video. Nowadays there are not many creators that are willing to say things that you've said in this video. It takes a lot of courage for UK citizen, and for that I'm eternally grateful. Thanks for being so interested in our history and culture, and for understanding of our not so good sides like true nationalism from which we're not proud of. You've really nailed it. I hope you will visit our country again, but not just for documentary or political purposes, but just to get a grasp for a normal civilized time, maybe glass of beer with good food in the company of friends :)
You missed the bit where the Swedish Empire rampaged through Poland to get to; The Frogs? Holy Roman Empire? Ottoman Empire? Russians/Hun? And those heroic soldiers/pilots who escaped to England to fight with us against Moustache mans Jackboot army.

Also, UK took Polish gold which they were supposed to keep safe from germans as a "payment" for letting those Polish pilots use UK equipment to defend UK. And then they didn't even invite us to the victory celebration in London.
4:00 fact is that British gov, after war confiscated Polish gold reserves in Canada. As a compensation for aircraft, petrol, equipment etc. used by Polish pilots in Battle of England, f.ex.
It was the Polish air force, and was funded by Poland, as agreed by the Polish government. All their funds were overseas, and the payment was made after the war ended. My mother was in the PAF.

As a Pole i'm proud of the nation. Over half a decade of occupation when millions where killed to now be independent. I think that had shaped our culture more than any historic event. Hearing you talk about this shows that we are not alone in this and that the world is standing by our side. Now i will talk about my expierence with death camps. It was located in a city called Sztutowo (the german name being Stutthof). When we (as the class) entered . . . . yeah its hard to describe. It was like you just witnessed a tragedy and stayed there long after. There were many things and i do recomend just visiting the place , but the thing that stood out to me the most was the pile of shoes of the victims. Im not sure if these were the actual shoes of the people there but just seeing the amount of it just breaks you. I really feel emotional writing this so please forgive many spelling mistakes. Overall thank you for talking out loud on this topic , i really think that you deserve more notice so once again thank you.
You forgot to mention that your country "borrowed" all Poland's gold, and after the WW2 UK gave Poles a bill for defending your country, and ever kept the rest of gold for its "security" ;)
Complete rubbish. Research your facts before typing suck crap, because you have no ideas what happened to all that gold, or all the places that it visited before being stored away from the hands of Germany and Russia for you, or where it ended up. The Polish free forces were self-funded. An independent force. My mother, uncles and dziadek all served in the Polish Free Forces.

I am just impressed by the amount of political leanings and beliefs are represented in these rallies. You have normal Polish flag wavers and average people, then you have Eurosceptics and Neo Nazis. You have people who are opposed to Stephan Bandera and pro Russian, yet you also have people who are opposed to Putin. It just seems so incredibly diverse, yet they’re all united under an overarching theme of Polish nationalism and anti socialism. And even then you have syndicalists and Strasserites among their ranks.
@allyart5904 it's more about the fact that people are afraid that their culture will be eradicated, very often in our country the issue of our citizens is forgotten, and everything is done for the benefit of other nationalities and here you enter a nice Ukrainian who has social media to the ceiling and accessories . you still see in this Nazi, hit your head, the problem is more complex and problematic at the moment.
If nationalism = wanting the best for your country and loving it then I guess 99% of people in history have been nationalist. Doesn't sound bad to me. Oh well 🤷♀
I think nationalism is widely seen as blindly adoring your country without being able to criticize its bad parts, overly-loving your country even when it has glaring issues. Most people from all political views want what as best for their country. Of course those views differ.
As a pole, I'm honestly bit surprised, that being proud of being english and loving england is seen as a negative? England bad memes aside, this feels authoritarian. I never thought that independence marches are that unique to my country.
didnt you see the absolute shithole that britain has become, many of them are not allowed to vocalize they are against inmigration, cause they would be fired from their jobs, its madness
My wife and myself visited Poland in 2014 as part of a school trip my son made with his band to the sister city of our town in the US. I was very impressed with Poland in general and the Polish people in particular. They are proud of their nation and they have good reason to be. For 400 years (probably longer) Poland's neighbors have actively tried to suppress or eliminate Polish Culture, language and even religious beliefs. Despite that the Poles prevailed and now are one of the strongest states in the EU. God bless them for their perseverance. We also saw Auschwitz while we were there. It was a cold, cloudy day right after about six inches of snow had fallen. It was a particularly striking contrast when we walked into Auschwitz I and II. It was almost black and white there. I have a few pictures from the trip and they are haunting. My wife hated it and even mentioning going there distresses her ten years later. It was the most singularly depressing place I have ever been in my life. It was stark, black and white. There was NO sound. Not a bird chirped 75 years later. It was important that I went and it is important that everyone goes there. I personally think that all meetings of heads of state should take place there. Maybe it will give them a perspective on how decisions made can have ramifications that are horrific beyond the original concept.
@@flameguy3416 I do think that, at least in the West, Poland is in a better state with its neighbors than it has been in the last 150 years. East, not so much but at least they aren't surrounded by greedy neighbors any more. Lets hope it stays that way.
@@tcofield1967 Unfortunately we are still pretty much surrounded by potential enemies, Poland has an incredibly shitty strategic position. We are quite literally the border between two completely different worlds that cannot seem to coexist no matter how much time passes. And no matter which side we fight on, we will always be the first defenders, first victims, or the first sacrifice. It has been so through history and it will probably continue to be so until the day we are no longer here. And the only time this has not been the case in the past, the only time when Poland was allowed to grow big and prosper, our neighbors didn't want to have any of that and conspired against us to erase our country from existence. Not one, but twice. Yeah, I don't know a single country in the world that has been screwed this hard, repeatedly, literally disappeared from the map twice, and still somehow survived all that and preserved their history and culture despite everybody trying to damn hard to erase all of it for such a long time. I have the deepest respect for my ancestors, for they have been truly extraordinary people to make all of this happen. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't trust any of our neighbors after history have proven time and time again we have no true friends. Except Hungary, who while not being out direct neighbors are the only people who not only have never betrayed us (and they had opportunities to do it to their own benefit), but actively had our backs since the dawn of time. They have been the only true allies we have ever had.
@@RiskOfBaer Every relationship consits of two sides. When you realized that your relationships with your neighbours are literally always shitty, have you maybe considered that you are also being a shitty neighbour? What are these two worlds that don't seem to coexist, where Poland is in between? Do you mean Slavic peoples and Germans? Because that is not true. Germans at times got along great with Russia, had very normal sometimes bad but mostly decent relations with Czechs, Slovacs, Croats ect. Historically the problem with Poland is that they always punch way above their weight and they never have allies that actually show up for them. Sometimes it's France or the UK who just support Poland to troll Germany but would never bother to actually send troops to protect Poland. Another times Poland was allied with Prussia, but when the Russians invaded Poland, the Prussians just did not bother to help. Definitely a shitty move from the Prussians but then again, Prussia actually did have good relations with Russia at that time and the Prussians and Poles never really liked each other anyway. I agree that Poland has a cursed starting position being sandwiched between Russia and Germany/Austria. But Poland is also phenomenally bad at diplomacy, after thousands of years of existence, fucking hungary is the only other country you consider friendly. That's sad.
As a Canadian ever since i learned about all the hardships the poles faced throughout their history i cant help but have a deep rooted admiration for them i hope Poland lives to the last days of man

Between 1939 and 1945 Poland lost 16% of it's population, the highest percentage of any nation. Just grok that for a minute: imagine if one in six of all the people you know died violently in the next six years. Think what that would do to you...
.. especially if you personally sent your neihbours to death camps and then enjoyed taking over their property. Remember that during Russian Empire's rule Poland had the most "pogroms" (i.e. killing, and robberies aimed at Jews) committed by locals.
Poland had the biggest Jewish diaspora in Europe before WWII (wonder why), so obviously there were some bad apples. Poles hold the 1st position for Righteous Among the Nations, an honorific used by Jews to describe all of the non -Jews who, for purely altruistic reasons (no money etc) risked their lives to save Jews from Nazi Germany... But go on, continue to spew your holy venom and hateful narrative@@dimas3829

History is important to keep in mind but u can get easily overwhelemed and feel hopeless. Focus on good sides instead - just like we do in Poland. Even in darkest place like this camp there was a light and care of one another. Poland and life is "not yet lost".
It's hard sometimes to understand nuances between patriotism and nationalism. Poles are generally very patriotic people. This kind of patriotism doesn't exist anywhere but in Poland. There might be some groups of people who are nationalists, but they don't represent the majority of Poles. In my opinion, all this can not be simplified. The whole historic, religious and cultural context needs to be understood. Without the background, patriotism might be perceived as nationalism. nationalism.
if your country and your nation have the exact same borders, and complete ethnic homogeneity then patriotism and nationalism becomes almost the same thing, which is great social cohesion was the key for all great nations

It's also worth mentioning that Law and Justice and Bosak's Konfederacja are not the main opponents in Polish politics - quite the contrary. Those are merely the two right-wing parties represented in the parliament. Centre and left wing folks almost universally distance themselves from the march. You won't find neither the other parties' emblems, nor the voters. It may seem odd to "boycott" independence day celebrations in a way, but keep in mind that those marches have never been an official state-led event, even though the Law and Justice party embraced them fully while they were in power.

How can you compare the losses of England and Poland? In what dimension? And the attitude of the English after the war was clearly visible during the parade in London. Where the British government banned Polish soldiers from taking part.
During the Yalta conference the Americans really did a number on Churchill, but it was also a simple fact that the Soviets were already in Poland. FDR for all his strengths really was in the palm of Stalin. The victory March was a shameful episode I agree but I don’t know if Britain could’ve opposed the Soviet Union on their own.
@@BigS1av It wouldn't be, that's obvious. It's about arrogance, nothing more. It was a very costly war for all sides, but it was dramatic for the countries and nations of Central and Eastern Europe.

Me and the wife went to auschwitz and Auschwitz II-Birkenau . Can say it hit hard . Especially Birkenau , it was summer very hot and was a very eerie experience. It was silent no birds singing which was odd and an incredible feeling of foreboding . Never felt that before.
Poles are very proud of their country and how they have overcome the burdens and rule from Russia and the like. I was in Poland in 2012 and as well due to time constraints and then catching a bad flu missed out on visiting a concentration camp. I hope to visit one in the future as well to pay respects and see this location in reality after only seeing movies and reading about it. From Polish Aussie Girl.
I'm sorry, but no matter the real logistics of the matter, us Brits did betray Poland! We tried very hard, and so too did the Poles in the RAF and Army. Churchill tried his hardest, but alas, it was really at the behest of Eisenhower and Stalin. Where the former was certainly too lenient with the latter, and gave them too much. If only we all stuck behind Poland, and the Western leaders had not cowed down to Stalin towards the end of the War. However, to give your credence to your statement, in the 11th hour - operation unthinkable. 'Unthinkable' because ot would include the nuclear detonation of Eastern Europe. That is how low we would have to sink to make it possible in the end. If only they had the forsight to restrict lend-lease and so on. The Western Allies could have done to the Soviets what the soviets did to the Warsaw uprising. Sit back, watch your enemies annihilate each other, move in, and sweep up the remains.

I have never seen Poland from this side. This march is a spectacular sight. Anti-everything and pro-everything meet up to march together for Polish independance. And even though Russians and Poles have terrible relations, as a Russian, I like Poland a lot. Боже, храни Польшу!
Frankly,we Poles like more ordinary Russians than ungrateful and demanding nazi Ukrainians whom we are sick and tired of right now.Looks like all the help we have offered them means nothing,they demand more and more and more.We don't even deserve saying sorry for Volhynia and the burial of the victims therof.Sad but true.

Poland has a point in that if a second front was opened up while Germany was engaging Poland’s million man army , and didn’t wait for Germany to beat Poland, get their army rested and refitted, and then take over France, would have been much easier.
I think the true betrayal is how the biritsh have mislead them into thinking they would intervene for them. Poland in the prelude of the war was really confident and bold in their engagement with Germany. Considering how vastly superior the German military was, this only makes sense in the context of Britains guarantees of protection. And when the war finally came the British declared war and did nothing.
@@timokohler6631 From my understanding, it was actually the French generals that mislead us the most. One of them explicitly promised an immediate invasion of Germany should they attack. Technically they did eventually attack Germany for a bit but retreated promptly. The so-called 'Phoney War' period of WW2, before the German invasion of France.
@@SoulReaperIsHere Either way, neither England nor France could have protected Poland from Germany and Russia. The only thing they were really good at was making big promises.
I don't know what would have happened but I am sure if the polish Government knew how useless the protection from Britain and France is going to be they would have played their cards differently, and potentially prevent being steamrolled from both sides. After all Germany and Russia hated each other just as much if not even more then Poland.
@@timokohler6631 the actual betrayal was yalta; we were sold off to stalin for all the blood we have spilled during the battle of britain with 303; montecasino or even market garden.

First solo video I've watched of yours Callum. Powerful, well balanced and informative. Better journalism than anything you'll find in the mainstream media. Keep if up my brother.
Nationalism historically in western Europe and russia was meant to celebrate domination over weaker ones, while in Central Europe it was a struggle to regain independence (usually from russo-western european domination). Polish nationalism is not about expansion and conquest but about minding our own business and not allowing for foreign domination. It's NOT about removing some nationalities from Poland etc.
How about conquests of soviet-polish war? When Poland take a lot of ethnic belorussian and ukrainian land. How about commonwealth that fight Russia for smolensk, made repression of the Orthodox that lead to uprising of Bogdan Khmelnytsky. It is so funny to read about "Polish exceptionalism"😂
@@didisjsn BS. First of all - Poland took those lands after soviet-PL war. And thanks to this those ethnic Belarussians and Ukrainians have not been starved to death during great hunger or were not executed by NKVD during communist terror.
ussr was much WORSE than "polish occupation". And those ppl learned this the hard way after ww2. :) Millions executed, tortured and brainwashed by soviet regimes.
Secondly - As a Pole I would prefere after PL-soviet war an outcome where Belarussians and Ukrainians got their SOVEREIGN democratic countries that would be allied with Poland. THIS is what I would do. Unfortunatelly PL didn't believed in the military power of those countries and assumed that if they were independent they would fall in 5-10 years...
In case of Commonwealth there were NO repressions from PL side. The Commonwealth was not conquest but political fusion of 2 states. ALL royal families and aristocrats on the "rus side" remained in power and kept their fiefs. The only thing that changed was fact that now their feudal lord was residing in Kraków.
This were feudal times. So if anything happened it was due to incompetence of RUS/LITHUANIAN feudal lords.
PS. Bohdan Khmielnitsky rebellion was NOT about "orthodox faith" but because Ukrainian Cossacks wanted to receive noble titles sooner than it was planned anyway. They wanted to be threated like noble family members, not peasants.
@@trollfake9578 So, basically, "our regime was better than theirs anyway"? That is literally the same imperialist justification used by any western European country.

@@exmotech- the need massive exports
america is starting to feel the same in major cities too. seems like nationalism isn't a bad thing if you want to preserve your country, culture, and people.
There is a lot that foreigner don't get about polish nationalism.
Every person who live now and for last decades, had someone in family killed, raped, destroyed, rammed, tortured and dislocated.
For every foreign audience, this is only scenes of numbers and some kind of horror story, similar to what they can hear about francestain or Draculę. More similar to fantasy than reality, because these things were some horrible that common person cannot even imagine.
But you should keep in mind that for poles it's not story, there are killed our grandfather mother, uncles and cousins, every hold here have someone in family killed in concentration camps, in uprising or on fronts all over the Europe, we fought in Italy, France, England for Soviets for Brits, everywhere to take revenge for our people, our sisters and brother, our fathers and mothers tortured for years, killed like animals in tousants.
There is another misconception that Jews wasn't polish, Jews killed in Poland, were not an unicorns living amongst us, there were noemal polish citisens just worhiping other religion, they spoke in polish, they lived in our cities and lived in our families.
And despite this all, we fought, because nationalism, love for our nation and culture was for centuries the only thing that kept us alive, kept us fighting for not glory and fame, territory and resources it kept us fighting for our lives
On top of what I said earlier, we are called often racists for keeping these national movements and not supporting minorities and BLM in particular.
Tell me, then, how many polish people had slaves, how many had colonies and opressed these minorities.
Then tell me why our soldiers fought for your freedom, our generals and soldiers fought for abolishing slavery in many places including africa and america.
Then tell me this, how many of you fought for liberation of us, how many of you fought to stop slavery of MY people and Holocaust.
Not for winning the world war, for gains of your country.
How many helped in the uprising, how many helped when cattle carts were moving my people to slavery camps in siberia, how many helped when we were killed on street for show for speaking wrong language.

As a Russian I just want to say to Polish people, that even though Russian propaganda is strong, my love to Poland is stronger. I know Polish people doesn't like Russia but it doesn't change for me anything.
Ты ошибаешься. Для тебя это ещё как что-то меняет. Потому что к тебе эти нацисты будут с ненавистью относится за то кем ты являешься.
We Polish people don’t hate Russian people on the merit of them being Russian, but because of the imperialistic mindset still present in many Russian people and we have seen this prove itself evident in the Russian people’s support for this war. It begs the question that if Russians are capable of doing this to their true Eastern Orthodox brothers of which your blood is shared, what would you be willing to do to us Poles or to our friends in the Baltic nations? Prior to the war in Ukraine, being fellow Slavs I viewed Russians quite favorably, but having seen street interviews conducted in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, amongst others since the start of the fratricidal war in Ukraine, the vast majority of Russian citizens have done little in the way of making themselves appear sympathetic, with their biggest concern being sanctions and not the war between brothers being fought in the steppe. I think of Pilsudski’s quote - “Russia is an Asian beast hiding behind a European mask." Because I mentioned those three major cities, I will add my own anecdotal observation and say that it appeared to me that the people of Novosibirsk were far less apolitical compared to their counterparts in Russia’s two largest cities, but as stated this is only anecdotal based on a small sample size of course.
@@Konrad9119 There is nothing imperialistic in Russia's actions. It's the west that is imperialistic and draws closer and closer to Russia, making threats. The fact that some people see Russian imperialism is the result of western propaganda. Russians don't want war. They want peace and security. But when one country attacks another, and all peace negotiations fail or play to your disadvantage, then there is no choice but to invade this country and overthrow their government to make it stop. But if you know that this country will keep being used for that purpose, then you have to occupy it's territory as well. That's unfortunately how war works, and invaded country and it's allies will do everything to portray the invader as the aggressor, disregarding their previous aggression. And in the world with so many lies, determining who started it first might be the hardest thing to do for some people. They are simply hiding facts from you. And you are still very russophobic, as seen clearly in your speech.
@@Konrad9119 You know how Ukraine have started the aggression? It very much didn't strive for peace with Russia, as you could see. It had the control over Russia's historic territories, and Russia allowed that, for as long as Ukraine respected that. But when Ukraine started to "de-russify" them, and wanted to join NATO so that they could get away with it, that is when the citizens of these territories who still disagree with that policty and didn't choose it, wanted to separate to save their land. That is when Ukraine started to attack them, and in the process attacking Russia as well in it's territority, spying, doing acts of terror and assassinations. Because they believed that it's all Russia who is responsible for that their own people hate them, and want to be friends with Russia. But that is not true, Russia was hesitating to enter until 2022, which it considers a mistake now, as it should've been started earlier. Ukraine is full of absurdly nationalistic ideas, where it sees Russia as the source of all of their problems. Despite the fact how much Russia actually gave them. And if you dig even deeper, then you could see that this is all for the benefit of NATO, to fully separate Ukraine from the Russian civilisation, also known as the Russian world. USA have orchestrated a coup in 2014, where the radical minority took power. There is a leaked phone call of how they choose the president of Ukraine. They manipulate the propaganda inside the country. And now they don't hesitate to send them all to war, because it's slavic people. And one last mention for the glorification of nazism in Ukraine, which you should already know. If anything, they would use Poland for the same purpose, because they also control it.
@@Konrad9119 By the way, the interviews you watch is nothing but cherry picking propaganda. And Russia doesn't discriminate anyone by nationality.
As a American, it always blows my mind how many people view patriotism as a bad thing. My country is my first focus, and that shouldn’t be frowned upon. Good on Poland for celebrating a great achievement

Patriotism isn't a bad thing. But what Poland is doing isn't just patriotism. It is nationalism which is full of discriminatory hatred.
@@kcck7588 average yes but we have a large increasing % of people who support authoritarians who don't even realize they are authoritarians. Look at the far right and Putin. I could make an argument that trump very much wants to be one after the things he's said and done like saying he will negotiate more terms, forging slate of electors votes, talking about jailing journalists critical of him, attacking the post office because of mail in ballots, praising El Salvador president for locking up everyone without any evidence, drafting an executive order to have the national guard seize voting machines, claiming an election was rigged before a single audit while trying to rig it himself (authoritarian 101 accuse the opposition of what you are doing).

Just across the border it's a different story here in Germany but the funny thing is patriotism still exists. We just put it on the region or something bigger. Here in Bavaria people are either patriotic of Bavaria or of the EU, but never ever for Germany.
They wear Lederhosen in March, have a bavarian flag with Ludwig II on it flying in their garden, speak with the thickest accent, hum the hymn of Bavaria, etc but then see someone with a flag of Germany on their balcony and go "ew wtf some nationalist."

And those heroic soldiers/pilots who escaped to England to fight with us against Moustache mans Jackboot army. When they helped us win they could NEVER return home, if they did they would have met a terrible end along with their families at the end of a Russian bayonet or piano wire
Also, UK took Polish gold which they were supposed to keep safe from germans as a "payment" for letting those Polish pilots use UK equipment to defend UK. And then they didn't even invite us to the victory celebration in London.
Swedish empire also slaughtered 1/4 polish population which is more % than nazi did

And even then you have syndicalists and Strasserites among their ranks.
@allyart5904 it's more about the fact that people are afraid that their culture will be eradicated, very often in our country the issue of our citizens is forgotten, and everything is done for the benefit of other nationalities and here you enter a nice Ukrainian who has social media to the ceiling and accessories . you still see in this Nazi, hit your head, the problem is more complex and problematic at the moment.

If nationalism = wanting the best for your country and loving it then I guess 99% of people in history have been nationalist. Doesn't sound bad to me. Oh well 🤷♀
Its exactly that. Nationalism = wanting the best for your nation/country. Funny how westerners made something bad out of it.
I think nationalism is widely seen as blindly adoring your country without being able to criticize its bad parts, overly-loving your country even when it has glaring issues.
Most people from all political views want what as best for their country. Of course those views differ.

My wife and myself visited Poland in 2014 as part of a school trip my son made with his band to the sister city of our town in the US. I was very impressed with Poland in general and the Polish people in particular. They are proud of their nation and they have good reason to be. For 400 years (probably longer) Poland's neighbors have actively tried to suppress or eliminate Polish Culture, language and even religious beliefs. Despite that the Poles prevailed and now are one of the strongest states in the EU. God bless them for their perseverance.
We also saw Auschwitz while we were there. It was a cold, cloudy day right after about six inches of snow had fallen. It was a particularly striking contrast when we walked into Auschwitz I and II. It was almost black and white there. I have a few pictures from the trip and they are haunting. My wife hated it and even mentioning going there distresses her ten years later. It was the most singularly depressing place I have ever been in my life. It was stark, black and white. There was NO sound. Not a bird chirped 75 years later. It was important that I went and it is important that everyone goes there.
I personally think that all meetings of heads of state should take place there. Maybe it will give them a perspective on how decisions made can have ramifications that are horrific beyond the original concept.
In the 1060s the Polish King Bolesław II sought to surround Poland with allies. And a millennium later, Poland has not achieved that goal.
@@flameguy3416 Polands allies have always been overseas, and it will likely stay that way.
@@flameguy3416 I do think that, at least in the West, Poland is in a better state with its neighbors than it has been in the last 150 years. East, not so much but at least they aren't surrounded by greedy neighbors any more. Lets hope it stays that way.
@@tcofield1967 Unfortunately we are still pretty much surrounded by potential enemies, Poland has an incredibly shitty strategic position. We are quite literally the border between two completely different worlds that cannot seem to coexist no matter how much time passes. And no matter which side we fight on, we will always be the first defenders, first victims, or the first sacrifice. It has been so through history and it will probably continue to be so until the day we are no longer here.
And the only time this has not been the case in the past, the only time when Poland was allowed to grow big and prosper, our neighbors didn't want to have any of that and conspired against us to erase our country from existence. Not one, but twice. Yeah, I don't know a single country in the world that has been screwed this hard, repeatedly, literally disappeared from the map twice, and still somehow survived all that and preserved their history and culture despite everybody trying to damn hard to erase all of it for such a long time. I have the deepest respect for my ancestors, for they have been truly extraordinary people to make all of this happen.
So you'll have to excuse me if I don't trust any of our neighbors after history have proven time and time again we have no true friends. Except Hungary, who while not being out direct neighbors are the only people who not only have never betrayed us (and they had opportunities to do it to their own benefit), but actively had our backs since the dawn of time. They have been the only true allies we have ever had.
@@RiskOfBaer Every relationship consits of two sides. When you realized that your relationships with your neighbours are literally always shitty, have you maybe considered that you are also being a shitty neighbour? What are these two worlds that don't seem to coexist, where Poland is in between? Do you mean Slavic peoples and Germans? Because that is not true. Germans at times got along great with Russia, had very normal sometimes bad but mostly decent relations with Czechs, Slovacs, Croats ect.
Historically the problem with Poland is that they always punch way above their weight and they never have allies that actually show up for them. Sometimes it's France or the UK who just support Poland to troll Germany but would never bother to actually send troops to protect Poland. Another times Poland was allied with Prussia, but when the Russians invaded Poland, the Prussians just did not bother to help. Definitely a shitty move from the Prussians but then again, Prussia actually did have good relations with Russia at that time and the Prussians and Poles never really liked each other anyway.
I agree that Poland has a cursed starting position being sandwiched between Russia and Germany/Austria. But Poland is also phenomenally bad at diplomacy, after thousands of years of existence, fucking hungary is the only other country you consider friendly. That's sad.
As a Canadian ever since i learned about all the hardships the poles faced throughout their history i cant help but have a deep rooted admiration for them i hope Poland lives to the last days of man

Between 1939 and 1945 Poland lost 16% of it's population, the highest percentage of any nation. Just grok that for a minute: imagine if one in six of all the people you know died violently in the next six years. Think what that would do to you...
.. especially if you personally sent your neihbours to death camps and then enjoyed taking over their property. Remember that during Russian Empire's rule Poland had the most "pogroms" (i.e. killing, and robberies aimed at Jews) committed by locals.
Poland had the biggest Jewish diaspora in Europe before WWII (wonder why), so obviously there were some bad apples. Poles hold the 1st position for Righteous Among the Nations, an honorific used by Jews to describe all of the non -Jews who, for purely altruistic reasons (no money etc) risked their lives to save Jews from Nazi Germany...

It's hard sometimes to understand nuances between patriotism and nationalism. Poles are generally very patriotic people. This kind of patriotism doesn't exist anywhere but in Poland. There might be some groups of people who are nationalists, but they don't represent the majority of Poles.
In my opinion, all this can not be simplified. The whole historic, religious and cultural context needs to be understood. Without the background, patriotism might be perceived as nationalism. nationalism.
if your country and your nation have the exact same borders, and complete ethnic homogeneity then patriotism and nationalism becomes almost the same thing, which is great social cohesion was the key for all great nations

It's also worth mentioning that Law and Justice and Bosak's Konfederacja are not the main opponents in Polish politics - quite the contrary. Those are merely the two right-wing parties represented in the parliament. Centre and left wing folks almost universally distance themselves from the march. You won't find neither the other parties' emblems, nor the voters. It may seem odd to "boycott" independence day celebrations in a way, but keep in mind that those marches have never been an official state-led event, even though the Law and Justice party embraced them fully while they were in power.

How can you compare the losses of England and Poland? In what dimension?
And the attitude of the English after the war was clearly visible during the parade in London. Where the British government banned Polish soldiers from taking part.
To appease Stalin no doubt.🤨
It's quite simple, England lost more because England had more than Poland.
During the Yalta conference the Americans really did a number on Churchill, but it was also a simple fact that the Soviets were already in Poland.
FDR for all his strengths really was in the palm of Stalin. The victory March was a shameful episode I agree but I don’t know if Britain could’ve opposed the Soviet Union on their own.

If only we all stuck behind Poland, and the Western leaders had not cowed down to Stalin towards the end of the War.
However, to give your credence to your statement, in the 11th hour - operation unthinkable. 'Unthinkable' because ot would include the nuclear detonation of Eastern Europe. That is how low we would have to sink to make it possible in the end.
