If you are not familiar with recent Polish history during World War II and later, then watch this short video that explains it very well through great animations of Poland’s fight for freedom against the Germans and Soviets.
“Because we do not beg for freedom, we fight for it.”
– General Witold Urbanowicz / 303 Squadron commander
If you speak Polish, then there’s also a Polish version for you:
The film was made by the Institute of National Remembrance (Instytut Pamięci Narodowej), a Polish government agency.
Thank you for posting. My maternal grandparents left Silesia. Silesia was invaded by the Russians, then the Germans, then the Russians again. It was the first location assigned to the Dirlewanger Brigade. The town from which my grandfather came was completely destroyed.
I asked my aunt why we never heard from our relatives in Poland after thinking about how my father corresponded and visited with his family in Sweden. She told me that after WWII, she and my mother wrote and were begged not to write again because it was too dangerous.
I thank God every day that I was born in the US. God protects His fools and children, but we’re asking a lot of Him when we teach our children Marxism.
I’m so glad to have come across this video. Well put together. Inspiring even. Thank you!
Nice sharing! Glad to read your post!
