Modern myths and legends about communist past in Poland

Interestingly, as far as I remember, only the Pole survives.

Silesian Vladislau, to my best knowledge, played by that action film actor, Bronson. And their commander, too, played by Lee Marvin.
That film was so late on the screen in Poland because it was colour while all Polish war films from 1960s and early 1970s were black and white.

Who served in the Polish army before the war.

Mission Imposible. :):):)

There is probably a scene in the movie where his colleagues ask him if this (rope climbing) was taught like that in the Polish army, specifically in the navy.

Yes, indeed, there is such a scene. But his mates laugh so it means they crack a Pollack joke on him.

In 1970s, the communist party led by First Secretary Gierek adopted the propaganda policy of Poland as the 10th economic power in the world.
That was a myth of course, while the reality was gloomy as there were constant shortages of paper items. I mean both toilet paper and books - communist industry and printing houses were unable to produce more to satisfy the popular demand.

I hated communism for that coz I wasn`t able to buy my fave comic books. If I was lucky, I came past a newsagent`s right after the supply of a new book, but mostly I wasn`t and had to borrow them from my mates or go to the flea market and pay the double price.

I said prayers for the communism to collapse.
Can you imagine they were fulfilled by Goddess???? Amasing!!

I wonder what pleased him more, this paper or that newspaper?

Both. After using up all the paper, he can use the newspaper.

Good thing there was no sandpaper in the store at the time.
