Defense of Poland - The Battle of the Border - Part 1 - Extra History

people should learn from the past, never depend on allies protect your selves.

france and britain REALLY dropped the ball and let Poland down…

This is the video I thought about when Russia started "maneuvers" at the border of Ukraine. So much for learning from history.

More and more reasons to dislike Colonial England.

My favorite thing about Poland during WW2 is that they had a bear in their army and his name was Wojtek

To have a motherfucking bear in your army is so badass

Never, EVER, trust the french!

in the words of a queen who lost against a powerhouse & failed
"I'd rather die free than live on my knees" boudica as she plunged a knife into her own heart

Really? Nobody? Well, I guess someone has to do it...


🎵 BAPTIZED IN FIRE, 40 TO 1! 🎵

Didn’t the Germans also have panzer 3 and 4s

It's nice and appropriate to rehabilitate the pole's somewhat from the "they were trying to destroy tanks with cavalry charges!" mythmaking around their defence and performance.
I'm sure not unaided by British/French media and history writing to help muddy up the fact that the fall of Poland is at least partly because of their failure to live up to their commitments.

A armored train sounds cool but the tracks can be blown up turning it into a fortress of guns and cannons

Fun fact: The peninsula near Danzing is named "Hel" pretty close to Hell isn't it?

Though Poland has many issues, it's amazing how well they did on this.

🎶🎸"AND THEN THE 7 TP'S ARRIVED"🎸🎶

Hmm. Doesn't have quite the same ring to it....

They fought with the spirit of Spartans.

we were attacked, invaded and murdered so many timed and yet we are still here :D POLAND the strongest nation plus everyone is born to fight and defend Motherland

I will die for POLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really eerie how that “diplomatic pressure” from “Allies” to not mobilize….happened all over again in Ukraine

warsaw is the coolest name for a capital hands down.

Britain: yo homie germany evil yo, we good pepo, we gon' help u ok bro?
Poland: I am getting invaded
Britain: Not my problem lol

History

WOW you said polish words good . wow.

BAPTISED IN FIRE 40:1!

Russia took a page out of Poland's summer maneuvers.

You can draw out too many parallels between this and the current war in Ukraine

This entire video is just the kevin hart help me meme i respect polish they dont give up without a fight

historians psychologists religious leaders and philosophers are all gate keepers not one time arbiters same with psychologists and journalists theyre all gate keepers.

buss is my only option for transportation not roommates uber or driving my own car.

authority only comes from other humans.

That Polish soldier was not first casualty of world war 2 that would be someone at the Mukden incident. He was not raven the first casualty of the European theater with that going to someone in the invasion of the Czech republic earlier that year.

kto z polski

Polan cannot into reliable allies

This is starting to feel familiar

Ready to fight the beep do do do doo

Sadly the winged hussars did not arrived

I learn more history here that school.

Huh😒 such allies 🇨🇵🇬🇧 but stay 💪🇵🇱

Fr tho to this day they still don’t have good allies

The first combat casualty in a new world war

The Chinese: are we a joke to you

Wait wait wait wait……. The poles cracked the enigma code at the outset of the war?! Why was there never a need for Alan Turing to crack it with his peusdo computer?

Warszawo Walcz

Ah finally i teach myself about my country

Fun fact: the green in the uk flag stands for helping poland

The use of cavalry by the poles was not the issue to lose, we finns used it in our wars. The issue was the geography, underprepping, two fronts and antique tactics and logistics. We finns had our lakes and forests, the mannerheim line, one front, and gorilla tactics with us destroying the soviet logistics. Thats how they lost.

We remember
In September
When the 7tps arrived!

AN ARMOURED TRAIN

When I fisrt watched this video in 2018, I saw this as just another history video. Now in 2022 with the invasion of Ukrane, I see something different and unique to our time, but with the shadows of the past once again coming back to life, in a way I thought and hopped would have stayed in the past. I don't know what to do, all I know is what my grandmother and people of her time told me, "when good men do nothing, evil prevails"

Anyone returning during the opening stages of the Ukraine War of 2022?

Poland:Russia Is Neutral
17 Days Later
Poland:Oh No
