Yes, great. How did you find it? :) I am curious about the technique. Did you google for "skeleton in the tower window" ? Or, did you check the tops of all castle towers in Poland? :)
A triple question:

Previous make and model?
Still previous make and model, allegedly?

No. If Jews are still talking about the Polish paper that printed an article titled how to spot a jew, that`s because it reminds one of the horrible times of WW2 when Jews were trying to escape their fate but were tracked down by Polish szmalcowniks and other renegade Jews. Successful tracking meant death. Do you understand that you are sort of supporting szmalcowniks` acts today? .

You are very close, but operation Tannenberg took place in western parts of Poland, still during the military operations of 1939. While my event took place in Krakow when the occupation had started formally It targeted academics, indeed.

Not Wianki, which isn`t the Exhibition but an open-air event. I suggest you google the list of June festivals in Krakow... and find the Exhibition. :)
When we talk about Schindler`s factory, what event during the Nazi German occupation does this exhibit represent? An SS cap on a lectern...

Yes, it is a TKS tankette. Though small and poorly armed, its heavy machine gun was able to penetrate the armour of all types of German tanks used in 1939.
Point!
As for the place of its exhibition, you were wrong but it doesn`t matter because now I am going to show another pic.

Of course not. Your video is a manipulative piece of propaganda full of contradictions as well as your perverted obsession with nudity, especially nipples. Besides, it doesn`t mention Poland or Poles even once so it is not relevant to the thread at all. You contradict yourself in a few places in the video, e.g. when you first say the film Pawnbroker was made by Jewish diaspora to spread pro Jewish and pro Holocaust propaganda and later you admit the main character is haunted with psychotic obsessions which bring him on the verge of utter madness. His attitude to other people: customers, assistant and even an accidental charity worker is undermined with intense hatred, distrust and disgust. Would Jews deliberately decide on such a grotesquely misanthropic person to advertise their Holocaust agenda?
Besides, you forgot to mention that after its release, Jews also rejected the movie in fear of fuelling antisemitism among audiences.
Of course not. He is a universal warrior fighting to save white Western civilisation.

It is quite understandable and I am amazed you don`t realise it. When did the Irish liberate themselves from the English? In 1921 as far as I remember. 20 years later, if they had joined the allies, they would have had to work with the English again. Come on, do you really suppose that a nation oppressed for centuries will forget everything after 20 years?
Despite the support they gave us unofficially,I think that was still a disgusting stance to take.

Poland is different than the UK. Here, Polish patriotism is so strong and pervasive that immigrants quickly adopt Polishness as if they imbibed it with their mothers` milk. I am not worried about their adaptation, after seeing that even stubborn Roma Poles have finally settled down in cities and learnt Polish at last. :):)

Why are you so insecure about native Polish culture, language, customs, traditions etc ? I do believe they are strong and attractive enough to be easily adopted by new Poles, as you call them. I can see it in those immigrants who have already come and settled here. Their children, except for slanted eyes or darker skin, are not different from my own kids. Now, do you see the difference between my true Polish confidence and your dumb Pollack`s apprehension? :):)

No. Next hint - it is sth beautiful.:)

Kaprys, I didn`t recognise the guy by his image but I know the names of most famous Polish mountaineers and the most renowned one, next to Wanda Rutkiewicz was......the one who died in 1980s. I perfectly remember that day when the media, still communist, reported it.
