Why did Poland remove the Eagle from the Flag?

Why? I remember it was done after ww2. Im sure someone here knows.

My beef is, the flag is kind of boring without it, but so cool with.

I know it goes back almost 1000 years, found that out from the restaurant that I go too...

Guess the eagle got kinda tired and just flew away to be on someone else's flag.

I see you found something else to stick on your own flag...

Yea maybe the germans demanded it be taken off, polska stealing the thunder. haha. I love both german and polsh eagles. *Proud*

And maybe Sabaton could write the new national anthems?

because it appears on my left ankle instead :)

but i have it on the flag on my wall incidently

I wanna see!!
:)

tell me if that works (you'll be granted a guest pass :) )

There is such a thing as too much going on on a flag. It's possible that the eagle just bakes it look a bit too busy. I don't really know. I just know that in a fight, the Welsh dragon would whip some Polish eagle backside, which could in turn knock the socks of any of those boring flags of only two or three colours (if they had socks... I don't believe any national flags bear the emblem of a pair of socks, folded or otherwise... Hang on - I need a closed bracket somewhere around here.)

it works...sorry, i had to see :) cool tattoo....why did you choose the ankle?

That's a nice ankle. I mean eagle.

Is it a real tattoo or just a stick-on-with-water thing?

because i have a full length one across my lower back so i went for my ankle instead ..... thanks ... an english fella did it from a picture i got his missus to carbon it from

ive set the pictures so all can view so if you click on them you'll see some pics from wroclaw as well when i was there in Feb this year :)


Oh it is most definitely real mate took an hour and a bit of gritting teeth to have it done :)

i think i saw once the tattoo on your lower back.... also nice... i still have plenty of space beside my shoulder blade...hehe...but i'll just leave it alone for now... ;)


can i add you as a friend? please please please....hehehe ;)

Nice :))

It was also great to see Wroclaw on other photos, I LOVE that city!!!

cause you can hun :)


thanks .. yes it was a nice place to visit as was going to Piechowice to visit my friend there :)

Yeah, Wroclaw looks nice. I'm beginning to wish I'd decided to go there instead of Nowa Huta.

hahaha...and why did you go to NH??

Am going at the end of next week. I like the idea of gritty industrial realism, but I suppose I heard so much about it when I was a child watching TV that it sounded fascinating and stuck in my head.

They were always talking about Gdansk, Gdinia and Nowa Huta Steelworks. The names fascinated me.

Hopefully, I'll get the chance to meet 'real' people, instead of the tourist-orientated ones.

Besides, it's not too far from Kraków. So I guess I can get the best of both worlds.

i am sure you will...


well, it is a district of Krakow... 10 mins by car, 30 mins by tramwaj...

have fun...

I will, and I'll let you know how I get on.

I'm really looking forward to it.

Dziękuję,

Ian

You so rock! Cool art, but why the left side? Right side high forever!

The eagle probably emmigrated to britian in search of better work and lifestyle, I bet it will show up on the british flag tomorrow.

Maybe because the communists removed the crown and it wasn't so cool without it :D but i see a lot of flags with the eagle, and in the movie Katyn there is a flag without eagle in ww2!

Mine appears on my cross and soon on my biecep

The eagle is still there. That variation is used abroad, at sea, and will be used at war.

wait, so the war flag does or does not have the eagle?

It does. Bandera wojenna it is called.
