Poland: I think Germany is preparing to invade me UK and France: Stay calm just ignore them Germany: Invades Poland UK and France: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
It's true that bad allies are worse than strong enemies.
-
“I lost my county in the blink of an eye and the world just fucking watched.”
-
Imagine being in a panzer tank only to be killed by a 50 year old man with a flaming mattress
-
Poland - the only allied nation not to be present on the WW2 Victory parade.
-
Poland had balls to fight back the way they did. Say what you will, but they never stopped fighting for their homeland. That's something I can respect greatly
-
Just imagine how they felt, their nation was snuffed out centuries before and barely twenty years after their country came back two huge armies invade from both sides.
-
As a Pole myself I must thank you for making this video. Not many people are aware of the Defensive War, especially the few victories we had and the valiant defenses.
-
I allways feel for Poland, they tried so hard but literally everyone let them down.
-
The Polish Parachute Brigade saved my Granddad's life, as well as many other British Paratroopers, at Arnhem. The Poles always have a place in my heart. Cheers from New Zealand.
-
My great grandfather was a polish soldier in the invasion, he survived he was a very brave man he died in 1977
-
The Polish really are the unsung heroes of WW2. I have huge respect for them. I also love how Polish pilots joined the RAF and were known to be very experienced and skilled, and how Polish mathematicians did the bulk of the early work in cracking the Enigma code.
-
Wow. I knew Poland had a big part, but wow I never knew they literally fought until the end. Incredible. What a country.
-
blue in Polish flag stands for reliable allies who always have our back -_-
-
Lot of respect to Poland and the brave Pole soldiers and their people, who fought bravely two of the worst totalitarian regimes the world have ever seen! Love from Brazil!
-
Poland had only two allies: Hungary and Romania. Hungary opens a schools for Polish Kids, and they didn't let Germans attack Poland from Hungary so they destroyed the tunnels. To Hungary emigrated 100,000 Poles. At the war they send supply to Poland. Romanians open borders for Polish people and Polish Government went to Romania. Thx for our true allies and friends! Love from Poland!
-
"Don't prepare for defending yourselves. You'll just antangonize them." "So you'll help defend us when we're attacked?" "Ummm. Sure."
-
Imagine being in a tank, highly armored and then being killed by a bed on fire
-
That was soul crushing. Imagine your country falling like that.
