History / 64th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising [71]

here were plenty of Ukis doing the murdering of civilians.

We have to be careful with statements like this.

Even your Wiki-link clearly says the only fully Ukrainian unit was Wolhynia Legion which was not involved in any of main slaughters in Warsaw.

Soviet POWs with Ukrainian roots in (Russian) RONA by no means represented any Ukrainian political orientation - they were just Soviet collaborators.

It's true about the bad reputation of all Eastern auxiliary troops in general but just in case of Ukrainians a lot of manipulation has been done by UB which was nothing more than a KGB (NKWD) branch office in Warsaw lol.

In my opinion, even respected Polish historians had to mention the Ukrainian part in Uprising pacification in order to satisfy the commie censorship.

History / 64th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising [71]

Sounds like your guy opperating Russian army in 1944.

Let us put some facts straight.
The only link to Kaminski's "Polish" roots are his names.
No other sources confirming his Polish origin and historians are even not sure about his place of birth. .
I know personally Russians using Polish names what does not make them even a bit Polish.
Same goes for his ( allegedly) "German" mother.

So for me Kaminski was a standard product of the Soviet brainwashing who turned from red to nazi - brown after being arrested and sentenced in the Soviet Union.

His openly declared objective was to became a Nazi - leader of Russia.
His hatred towards Poles - second to none (von dem Bach Zelewski's opinion)

Rather mysterious person this Kaminski.
Already the first search brings three different places of birth - Petersburg, Witebsk area and ... Poznan, two first names Bronislaw and Mieczyslaw, not to mention unknown circumstances of his death.

Language / Gdybym...łbyś [16]

Gdybym zaśpiewałbym, zapłakałbyś

Wrong.
Correct form:
Gdybym zaśpiewał, zapłakałbyś

History / What if scenario´s for WW2 and Poland [112]

You have no idea about Stalin's cowardness.
He planned to move the Soviet capital to Samara where his 40 m deep bunker already waited for him.

Language / Do you think there is something like Warsaw accent ? [29]

Just reading your comments on Polish language...
Some of you, having already a basic knowledge of it are able to hear differences which are of "non existing" category for native speakers.

Good example of it was different pronunciation of "ch" in Lech and Ruch.
Personally I'm unable to notice any difference at all.

My question is:
Do you think there is something like Warsaw accent ?

But I don't mean all semi rural dialects from Masovia or Czerniakow-type slangs of "lumpenproletariat".
A Google search will give hits concerning Warsaw accent in ... Yiddish and fairy tales about some Northern Warsaw dialect!

what Warsawians would have called język warsiaski

I don't pretend to have any professional knowledge of Polish dialects but it's not exactly what I mean.
Frankly, it sounds very "plebeian" in modern Polish, all those folksongs from old Czerniakow or Targowek suburbs.
(Performed by Stanislaw Grzesiuk for example.)

But listen to this song from Jan Pietrzak:

Warsaw accent or not ?

Not a Warsaw one, but an accent typical for people who live in the centre of Poland.

Sometimes I've got exactly the same impression while comparing languages spoken in Warsaw and (for example) Lodz. It's a striking similarity.

I think Jan Pietrzak, one of the top cabaret performers in Poland, is stylishing this song to something that might look a song in "Warsaw" accent

No doubt about that.
I only try to find something to explain what I'm on about.
I grew up in the Northern part of Warsaw with some remains from the old Marymont still alive.
I guess I can even speak like that
The Wiki link you have posted gives more examples:
Alina Janowska (not Warsaw born but speaking a fair Warsaw accent), Marek Hlasko - just in some of his novels, Kazik Staszewski and all the sudden Muniek Staszczyk from Czestochowa LOL.
