History / Katyn- forgiven and forgotten? [111]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Warsaw_(1920)
I have never seen the term 'Miracle on the Vistula' described as a belittling of Pilsudski. My main knowledge of the term comes from my grandfather (via my dad) and he was proud of it, having fought in there.
Norman Davis book 'White Eagle - Red Star' called it such, again not in a derogatory manner.
Quoting: peterweg
I assumed the story of the 'Miracle on the Vistula' was common knowledge to Poles?
Because it is, as well as the knowledge that this term was coined by PiĆsudski's opponents in order to belittle his success.
