Poland in photo riddles

The monument is not dedicated to one particular hero, but it is a memorial to honour the members of a specific organisation.
The brick building itself is 19th Century, but the museum within which houses the memorial, is 20th Century.

It reminds me of Pawiak in Warsaw. I have to check it.

PS. No, it isn`t Pawiak and Warsaw is on Wisła banks.


Cursed soldiers? Many photos depict them wearing Polish army caps.

Sorry, but no.


Or movement.......
Do I have to start providing much bigger clues? :)

I am afraid you do. :)

I found out there is a Military Museum in Rzeszów, I am checking it out

This museum was founded in 1947. Unfortunately for you, it's not in Rzeszów......

Bell p39q
Airacobra

Not in Rzeszów, your favourite city? That`s outrageous, you tricked us in a nasty way! :):)

The only museum set up in 1947 is in Koszalin but I still can`t find that memorial. That`s torturous - now I know how you felt before.:)


Yes, used by Soviets through Lend Lease and shot down in Poland.

As you seem a good expert on planes, a few more:

What make?

MiG-15UTI Midget

Not yet you don't, remember how long some of yours took me to get :) Zemsta.........
Ok, I'm not as cruel and heartless as you, so a big clue. The building was originally a fortification structure.


Wow Dolno, that was quick! Are you a planespotter ;)

Yes!


Yes, revenge is sweet! :)
But you are cruel cause the clue doesn`t help much. I stil can`t find it.

What about this one?

Errrm well kind of involved with Mig's at one point in my life, valve radios and the like.

But here is a little known fact for you all.

Polish Air Force pilot, defected from Soviet-controlled Poland in a MiG-15 on the morning of 5 March 1953, allowing Western air experts to examine the aircraft for the first time.


Polish su22, designated fitter NATO

Sorry, no, SU-22 was my next riddle, see it below, the planes have two different noses

Ok, massive clues are needed! In WW2, this site was used as a place of mass executions. The monument is housed not in a corridor, but in a cell. There are 20 cells within the building, which is circular.............

Kraków Forty Krzesławickie? No, Wisła again. :(

Try south east Poland.......

Couldnt see full nose in first pic and just jumped to a conclusion based on cockpit, tired now going to bed.

Ah, Lublin! Yes, the Castle, where Germans massacred Poles! I am guessing now.


Yes, here you are, full nose view. Sweet dreams and I hope to see you here again tomorrow.

Sorry but no :( But Lublin is one of my favourite cities! :)
The historic centre of this city is on the UNESCO World Heritage List :)

Aah, so it must be Przemyśl, with the WW1 fortifications.

Sorry but no :(

Ok, I cannot bear the pain any longer!
The monument is in a cell in the Zamość Rotunda:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotunda_Zamo%C5%9B%C4%87

That particular monument honours the members of the underground resistance fighters of Bataliony Chłopskie, who gave their lives trying to defend and retaliate against the murders, evacuations and deportations of the people of Zamość.

You are so gentle with me, thanks very much. :):) It was a hellish intellectual marathon.


aah, now I know why those statues look so .. informal. :):)

I presume you are not into planes so let`s leave them for boys.

What and why? If you need translation, I will lend a hand.

I'm sure there will be many more hellish riddles to come :)
I will look at those comedy bank notes another time, my bed is calling me now.......

The info is available on the net, interesting history and story, too.

Yes, very good, Iskra (Spark) was a purely Polish construction.

So, more for you:

What?

A couple of questions. Is the writing to the left of Reagan's head important because I can't see it that well. I can make out what looks like 'z okazji', the number 40, rzadow, and w Polsce'. Something to do with a 40 year reign? Are the dates important? 22/07/1944 was the day the PKWN was set up and also liberation of Majdanek. Between then and 22/07/1984, Poland was under communist rule.

On the second note, I'm not sure if that is Konstantin Chernenko? NKWD ( NKVD )? and UB bank, Soviet security service and Polish secret police. Jeden pierdol speaks for itself ;) There is some writing under Chernenko's? head, but I can't read that either.

Reagan is doing that arm gesture made famous by Kozakiewicz at the 1980 olympics, and which p1ssed off the Russians.
I can't quite put it all together as usual ;)

The words next to Reagan - yes, they are a little important and you made them out quite well except there is one more: of communists` reign in Poland.

The second note presents a Polish communist politician of the time. The words under his head read: M.F.R. - gawron mniejszy - a lesser/smaller grackle.

With all this data put together, plus you said earlier comedy banknotes. it is really easy.

Mig 29 Fulcrum , simply amazing beats a f16 anyday.

Yes, A beautiful plane, I never cease to admire its shape, it is so ..... graceful, like a ballerina dancing Swan Lake. As for beating F16, Americans had better electronics on their planes. e..g, radar. As always.
