It shows a large part of the horror of WW2. Both sides, but particularly the Axis, are guilty of confirmed stories of horrific treatment of civilians and surrendered soldiers such as rapes or being shot during surrender respectively as well as unconfirmed stories of the same or similar crimes on larger scales. This war truly brought the devil out in humanity.

To make things even worse - Yarnhub mentions sham trial. They were convicted and executed by the Germans. This trial was invalidated only in the late '80s after long and protracted process. It's really hard to explain why the German Courts were taking so long to resolve it.

I am a Jamaican and if you know my history then you know. I have been to Poland a few times Gdansk too. If I was to chose which European I like the most I think it would be the Poles because they remind me of my people, always someone who wants to destroy them, enslave them and take their lands but they always fought and survived. I also read a story (hidden history) as a kid that during the napoleonic wars napoleon sent some Polish men/soldiers to Haiti to quash the slave uprising. Those same Polish soldiers ended up joining the slaves to fight Napoleons men who wanted to continue denying freedom. Poles know the true meaning of freedom. You might think don’t mess with America, China, Russia but I say don’t mess with people who know the TRUE meaning of freedom, the Polish people. Besides, I like their food too.

Then you'll like this: Something like mentioned in 4:28 happened on much bigger scale. The defence of Chocim fortress in 1672 against invasion from Ottoman Empire was given to Jerzy Michał Wołodyjowski despite his lack of knowledge on fortress defence, because he was the only trusted officer who agreed to defend a fortress in such a bad shape. Spending his own funds, he recruited a little over 1000 soldiers and 500 civilians to defend the fortress while he needed at least 8 000 to cover the walls. He also lacked modern artillery and engineers. Regardless, he managed to halt Ottoman army for 19 days and at one point, when Turks blew up an unguarded part of the wall, he ran there and fought the Turkish attack alone before just one more nobleman joined him and the two managed to repel the assault with bombs and muskets they had prepared at the position. He managed to negotiate with the Turks that they would let the civilians leave the city free and unharmed, and shortly after an artillery officer from Courland blasted to the armory with a torch, killing himself, Colonel Wołodyjowski and the fortress' defenders. Folk myth is that Colonel didn't want to give fortress to the enemy and wanted the event to 'wake the nation' since it all happened because the Republic neglected funding of the army and fortifications for decades.

As a Polander, I fully share your beliefs. Unfortunately, there are still Germans with sleazy, anti-Polish prejudices, who mentally have not yet left the first half of the 20th century. Generally speaking, Germans know their Polish neighbors surprisingly little, even though we have a common history for over a thousand years, a history that has not always been bad! It was Prussia that contaminated Polish-German relations. We must also remember that only Russians and Americans benefited from World War II.

It's great to see you cover another Polish episode of WW2! There are plenty more you could do in the future, like the defence of Westerplatte, which was hinted at in this very video at 1:50. But the one I would love to see the most, and I think would be perfect for this channel, is the liberation of the KL Warschau (Warsaw concentration camp) aka "Gęsiówka", on 5 August 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising. It includes the insurgents successfully using a captured Panther tank.

Never underestimate a postal employee. It's surprising but many post offices in the US used to hold weapons as a federal building until around the 1970s. Retired letter carriers I know used to mention how they were still locked up into the 1980s. If it's true in the US, it would absolutely be the same in Europe. Great job but not surprising for Poles, they were incredibly brave and never backed down in World War 2, despite being frequently outgunned and outmanned.

That is...actually very interesting and refreshing to see such a high quality content about "niche" subjects surrounding early days of the war and the invasion of Poland without too much bias. It is very heartening that more people outside of Poland will learn about these brave men and women that tried their best to hold against treacherous invasion from the west...and half a month later also from the east. Especially Gdansk/Danzig was an interesting case, with a lot of things going on in the beginning and at the end of the war. The post office, Defense of Westerplatte, Battle of Hel, Stutthof (the first concentration camp that Germans established outside of Germany..and the last one to be liberated by Allies)...also the period of "liberation" by the Soviets that turned this area into a wild west anarchy for a few months - a lot of stuff that can be covered just about that period alone. It's also a symbolic place for the "beginning of the end" of communism in Europe. Being born and living most of my life in Gdansk, I can say most "Danzigers" here are quite proud of their city's history, always being that "rich&free city of multicultural merchants" regardless of who actually tried to rule it - be it Poland, Teutonic Knights, Prussia or Germany. Even in modern days, the city and surrounding Pomeranian region is the more progressive one in Poland (politically and socially speaking). Some even try to revive that "local nationalism", hoping for that free-city status once again...while hardly possible, it is a romantic idea for a lot of locals tired with constant bickering with the capital (I'd say it's a bit like NY or Shanghai pride?).

@@KrokLP If you mention postwar actions, you do realize that it was mostly soviet thing, along with switching borders on the east and west of Poland? Poland had literally no say in this as a puppet state at this point? Argue about it to Stalin and Rosevelt. Reason was simple - homoethnic states are easier to control. Thats why they repopulated a lot of polish people from western Ukraine as well, moving them to ex-German pomeranian settlements. A lot of older people there tell sad, shameful stories how they were given houses with „meals still warm on the table”, with soviet soldiers ordering them to not ask questions. Now, if you by any means try to push this as pre-war Gdansk policies, you are delusional. Gdansk in the interwar period was dominated by Germans, most offices were held by Germans and any attempts of reaching them by a Polish person were blocked on ethnic background. I will agree with A.H. here - Danzig was German, at least from inside. Only 3.7% was Polish, a gentle reminder of cultural cleansings and germanization done by German Empire before WW1.

The BAR rifles couldn't have been used by the Poles as pictured here. They are the FBI pattern 'Colt Monitor' rifles, and wouldn't be produced until the 1950s. They were produced in small quantities, and quickly replaced in police arsenals. (You can tell they're Monitors because of the pistol grip and extruded foregrip. The barrel should also be shorter, with a large compensator at the end.)
