History / Need Help Identifying This Uniform [21]

Dude it is in English.
Above that there is Motszy which could be a surname - unlike but possible as it would be a very strange and unique surname. It could be badly spelled mlodszy i.e younger, junior.

so it could read:
Younger Wladyslaw ( a name read like Vladislav) or Wladislaw Junior.
---
His uniform it is uniform the Polish Army dating 1918-1922. Cavalry uniform of an officer (but the last one is a guess, an educated guess)

Law / Weapons laws in Poland. Carrying a concealed handgun? [918]

Poland uses a 5.56 modernized ak the tantal and beryl.

Not really. the PA use beryl as a standard weapon, 5,56 mm, whereas tantal is 5,45 mm and there are tons of them in a storage.

The new territorial militia

The National Guard is being organized as we speak some of them use beryl and some of them are using Grot (Modular Firearm System 5.56 mm) a brand new Polish weapon. The aim is to gradually replace the old model beryl with the new weapon.

I just provided links to show that a licence is required.

Yeah, that nonsensical drive to licence everything,. they even think about licensing ammo to muzzle leader. Until recently anyone could buy one or two or as many as was his want without any licence or some such nonsense. People didn't use it in duels, assaults or in drunken brawls - so that argument against gun ownership is proven to be invalid.

My suggestion would be a gradual programme of disarmament and police reform spread over a number of years in stages.

No one care about you suggestion as it is silly in extreme.

Yes in the overall trade jews were not the majoroty.

Oh they were majority of slave trader in early middle ages. caring out trade of slaves on behalf of Islamic rules, shipping them from Europe into Muslim Spain and Africa.

saying that Jewish faith forbid exhumation of bodies.

Who cares? As if Israeli or majority of Jews were so very religious eh?
Investigation - a proper one should be carried out in Jedwabne, unless some Jews the scummy one and those who slander and brazenly lie are afraid of the truth!

Genealogy / What does my Polish name mean? [402]

No, essentially you are an American.
Your ancestor at this point of time could have been Polish, Silesian, German or Czech. His ancestor would be of Polish origin. What irt was it is hrad to day judging only by a name. We are talking 1000 years of history here. That is more complex than a simple yes or no.

What can be said for sure is the fact he came from THIS part of Europe.
So without the doubt you are of European origin.
Hope that answer your question.

The rumours floating around suggested

A, Dude is a fence sitter not a statesman. Sending this law to KT for not other reason other than to cover his insecure ass.

B, the law should be implemented.
C, Gross should be arrested and persecuted to the full extent of the law if he ever dare to show his face in Poland.

Jonny Daniels doesn't even sound like a real name. What kind of a douche would take him in as an advice even informal one? Its stinks, its stank and it has had a bad smell from the very start. One has to be devoid of a nose to not smell the coffee from the very start. Well, better late than never.

I am not saying you aren't but the slightest suggestion of changes to gun control is likely to have you and the other gun supporters on this forum up in arm

Maybe because it is not about gun control but about gun grabbing lobby. So called gun control is just a slogan to they are using to to bring an unconstitutional gun ban by the back door.

Rather shockingly,

Really? Why?
30.000 children in Africa under the age of five die EVERY DAY.
By the way the gang violence is mainly responsible for most shooting related deaths. Which in turn is related to black ghettos and Mexican illegals smuggling guns and drugs. (In fact Mexico is run in fact by drug cartels)In US for political, social and historical reasons one cannot say that blacks are the problem whiteout being branded a racist KKK member or a white supremacist whereas in fact is a simple observation.

If you want to blame someone blame Democratic party that has been facilitating for decades black ghettoes, illegal immigration to mitigate their power base.

Exactly, but there are those on this forum who for some bizzare reason think that a lovely safe country like Poland should have the right to bear arms just as the US does.

Poland has its own tradition of citizenry right to bear arms. So no need to look to US for an example.
Further more, the right to own a gun is a clear sign of a free society and a status of a real not niminary citizenship.

I know the difference between being a slave in a totalitarian regime and being a free man in a free country and if there is price to pay for that freedom its worth it. Besides most problems with gun violence is not due to gun laws but to fallings in other departments. Fix flaws in laws and a society and you will fix gun violence without taking away the guns.

Anyone denying the historical authenticity of the Shoah, should in fact be punished

Why? In Israel they can do whatever they like. Why would any other country bother with it? Anyhow, the Shoah my ass, people were being killed left right and center in the 20th, before it as well as after. Buying it you it is agreeing that Jews are a special case. They are not, maybe they just 'special'.

he point here really is that,

Yes, you're definitely are 'special' if you after so much talk and info came with something like that.
Also 'technically' they were in the III Reich or The General Government.

Jedwabne and Kielce though cannot be whitewashed

BS! If you don't know why that is BS then you are indeed 'special'!
Let remember Koniuchy then. I think Israel gov. should issue an official apology and compensation.

By the way web responded to that unacceptable acts of Israeli officials and seems that Israel doesn't scoured any point of the general populace around the world. Nobody likes them. Small wonder.

ax is not Polish ?

Well. there is certain cultural values, I call it a cultural cod. Sure people can have their own ideas and different in a lot of things but there is line once cannot cross. Once they cross it they are out. That process is more obvious and visible in Poland. That what commie occupation did to the country.

At the same time in America neo-Marxist did it too. I wouldn't call progressives and especially the youngest generation of them
In the US however realization of that fact only gradually arise and its call differently - as a danger to western civilization.
Just to simply it all for you.

Even if someones Grandfather was hanging AK soldiers why does that matter now ?

It matter now because families pass down the generation certain values or not. In such a case being a traitor entail some attitude that passes down to a grandchild in some extend. Especially so if for PRL being a traitor meant privileges.

his inability to post a single message in Polish on this forum rather gives the game away

Look who is talking? You haven't posted a single message in Polish on this forum either.
By t he way why are you pretending to be Jewish? You see things like that are what makes people think that your are not quite sane.

Because Polin is a popular attraction and well worth a visit if you are in Warsaw

you're a foreigner in Poland aren't you? that Museum is popular with foreign crowd.
Why you falsely claim to be a Pole?

the Jewish community

What Jewish community? There is no Jewish community. They are fragmented.

Even Anders had an ambivalent attitude and there is definite documentary evidence that he in fact put a ceiling on the recruitment of Jews for political reasons.

What evidence?
I know there was some Soviet NKVD types telling this to Jews that wanted to enlist to Polish Army while they were trying to put barrier for them ( in Soviet Russia at the time)..

So why do you think that was?

For number of reasons:
- no Polish state.
- sectarian upbringing

that Jews in Western Europe were so different to Polish Jews?

Because there was so much fewer of them.

were emancipated and enjoyed almost full equal rights

Right, the Problem is that a part of Poland had been 19the century Germany.
Anyway it has much to do with industrialization and a fact that Jews were less numerous. In 19th century Warsaw you could find Jews from all social strata, from criminals, bum, pimps, ******, to workers, doctors, lawyers, bankers and industrialists . Thing is there were like few cities with opportunities, most were living in small villages, townies and such.

You can feel what you like but that is not reason to beautify an perfume the past in order to straighten some real or perceived slights.

Generally speaking Jews (meaning as in the majority of the Polish Jews) never had been particularly patriotic or overtly supportive of he Polish state.
We can show some examples of this or that that would seems to contradict the truth of the matter but only on the surface. Those were just actions of small minority or people who I would call Poles of Jewish origin, that is quite not the same as 'Polish' Jews.

Also in the IIRP there were about million or so Jews from Russia that had not clue about Poland and were foreigners in Poland for some reason they were offered a refuge from the Russian revolution.

Begin was an underofficer of the Polish Army his honor and his duty was to see the war to the end. Then and only then he could seek his fortune in Palestine.

So there is nothing honourable in his discharge, while unspoken assumption was that if not discharged he would go AWOL.
If anything that shows magnanimity and generosity of the sprit of the Polish general than anything else.

As for people like DD who are questioning this or that. I think that he is just beating abound the bush looking for some clues to what in fact is a very simple issue. Jews in general weren't supportive towards Poland or the Polish state and their attitude was purely mercantile.

It is not a judgment it is a simple statement of a fact.

keen on digging up the dead to prove some self-serving theory.

Well, it is evidence Doug. Tell that to the police investigators digging up dead bodies or its remains. A proper investigation can or exmaple give a serious clue not only to the identity and number of killed but also can give a serious pointer as to who was a culprit.

You came across as having serous deficiency in brains department Dougie, I mean - really?

Many of those 'desertions' were sanctioned and assisted by Polish officers.

Wasn't sectioned. Those were real desertions. They simply wasn't persecuted as the high command of the Polish Army decided they are not gonna chase them as they are Army of volunteers.

So, yes I can call him deserter.

Yet she lives in Poland and makes her business there, putting all of her resources into Poland.

Not really as far as I know. Also she was until recently sucking out recourse FROM Poland, in the form of governmental grants i.e. Polish taxpayer financed her anti-Polish movies.

PiS cut out that flow of money. No wonder she doesn't like Polish gov now.

Half of UB leadership was jewish in the years after ww2.

so what? - it doesn't reflect the Jewish population as a whole - unless we take Jewish/Israeli point of view and use it this case, then yes, Jews are responsible for exterminating/murdering Polish heroes and elites after 1944, hand in hand with the Red Army. We should ask for apology and compensation from Israel.

Once they were able to get into leadership positions like in the UB they immediately set out to killing AK members and other Poles.

Well, some other time I would object to your unfair generalization but after Israel and some Jews all over the place started this unprecedented attack on Poland using exactly the same unfair generalization. I just can't be bother to object.

I might add on the same note:
I'm sure there some decent, great, friendly Jews today and in the past but there is so very few of them.
No wonder that anywhere they go there is anti-Semitism. Coincidence?

You can be a Polish citizen and be brown, black, yellow or whatever, but like a Jew, that black/brown/red person can never be a Pole in terms of nationality, blood, etc.

Hmm.... leading Polish nationalists with Dmowski on the top of the list disagree with your idea. What you have written is what the German Nazis and now Israeli think about their nations.

he's a Polish citizen born and bred, just because she's not just like you doesn't make her any less Polish.

I told you what make her not Polish. Even America can afford to tolerate people like her (born and bread American citizens that despise American values and history) only to the point. Poland cannot.
