Genealogy / Russian POW Camp records [71]

The 1st one he received is known as Krzyzen Walecznych. He got that from his 1st tour of duty from the 4th Sigmals Regiment 1919-1922. The 2nd medal he received is a round one with these words on the reverse side of the eagle Polska Swema Obroncy.

Are you sure it's not the other way around?

Krzyż Walecznych (Cross of Valour) was established in 1920 but awarded also in the WW2 period and later. The "Polska swemu obrońcy" (Poland to Her Defender) medal was a memorial medal for 1918-1921 war, and as far as I know no version of it was awarded for 1939 campaign. Let me check...

...

Hm... OK, looks like there was a version of "Polska Swemu Obrońcy" awarded for 1939 campaign but it was a communist medal, established in PRL (People's Republic of Poland), and you say that your grandpa moved to West Germany before the end of the war (which is rather odd as well for a decorated Polish soldier).

Strange history...

No, you don't since your enemy is imaginary.

I thought you liked Putin. Why would you call him imaginary? Weird...

take Alprazolam (...) Xanax

No, thank you. I'd rather take Abrams and HIMARS.

a vision for the whole world.

What's the putinist vision for the world then? I don't mean the historic stuff: Cossacks, March to the Pacific, All Slavic Rivers Flowing to the Russian Sea etc. I mean the Putinist Offer for the World 2025. What is it?

Soviet Union and the communists had electrification, liquidating illiteracy, equality and brotherhood of workers, farmers and intelligentsia, lifting millions out of poverty, exploring space, developing all areas of science and so on. What do the putinist gold toilet sh*tters have for the world?

I'm genuinely curious.

As far as I know Americans never sold B2s to any country. :(

...honey on your ears? You sure?

Erm... *goes checking* ...

OK, looks like "miód na moje uszy" doesn't translate directly into English. I should have said "it's music to my ears". :)

I've said it before here but Europe needs to develop and expand its defence industries and stop subsidising foreign manufacturers.

Hear, hear.

Why is Poland not buying European instead of the American and Korean stuff?

We need tons of weapons ASAP. European industry is not able to provide the amounts of stuff that we need quickly enough. Besides, our politicians think that if we are armed to our teeth with American weapons, America won't stand idly when we're invaded (and they might be right).

I bet that's exactly what JR is doing at the moment!

Aaaah, you are pouring honey on my ears, BB. There is still hope for Europe then.

I thought you liked the EU.

Oh, I do.

I am not blind though. In its current form the EU is an empire of clerks, with a thousand pens but no sword - as Bobko said, hopelessly impotent.

... and it is rather leftist-leaning too.

Correct. It's a Soviet Union but without army. :-/

@Bobko

From Zelensky's point of view trying to drag the US deeper into war makes perfect sense.

@AntV

Here's a size comparison between Tipo Estate (what Alien recommends) and 208...

carsized.com/en/cars/compare/peugeot-208-2019-5-door-hatchback-vs-fiat-tipo-2015-estate/

... 208 would maybe be enough for you and your guitar but that's pretty much it. ;)

The Peugeot 208 keeps popping up.

The 2008, has been licensed by Iran's Khodra

Two different cars. 208 is definitely too small for a travelling family of 5 with luggage.

like when Torq replied to me

1. You omitted the best part about your footballers/hockeyists playing with their dicks.
2. It wasn't me but my evil twin brother Kania.
3. You will still lose this war.

Apologies, I have been "going off on one" a bit.

Don't worry about it. It was fun all in all.

Warsaw in particular

Why would anyone coming to Poland choose to live in that kip Warsaw? If I lived there, I'd probably hate Poland myself. :D

Poles - 1420
(...)
British - 1346

What? British brains are on average only 74 grams lighter than Polish ones? Ridiculous! If the difference was so negligible they would be able to understand and appreciate Polish overall greatness to a much larger extent. Either the number for Poles is too low or the one for Brits way too high. Check your sources Vlad before you post such blatant nonsense.

I see you are finding all my favorite threads.

Yes. Yesterday I thought the guy was genuine and wanted to vent a little bit but also actually learn something. Turns out he's just another troll. Pity.

That same gold that was returned in full to Warsaw.

Shut up, Jon. This is a trolling thread, we don't give a flying f*ck about facts.

I have to find this article in which Perfidious Albion is blamed for the Partitions of Poland... it was absolutely brilliant and would fit perfectly in this thread. Unfortunately, I have to do some work for a change, so see ya later, you son of a brit.

What a typical peasant thing to say.

Those Brits, eh? It is not enough for them that they betrayed us in WW2, stole our gold, treated our officers who fought for them like sh*t and then - to top it all off - sold us down the river to uncle Stalin, but now they also begrudge us those couple of Polish food items that we can buy in their shops if we are ever so unlucky to work in their half-Islamic, rape-gangs-ridden sh*thole of a country. Scandalous behaviour if you ask me.

They really need to learn some reverence towards their betters.

I would probably be annoyed by the comments of WarSore but as a Pole I am so infinitely superior to him in terms of culture, morality and intelligence that it would be beneath my dignity to care about what he says. After all, can a skunk insult an eagle?

you German revanchist

Hey, leave BB alone. This is purely British-Polish trolling, let's not get other nations involved. :D

It might be enough to mitigate the things you mention but it won't mitigate the legendarily hostile and aggressive local population who eats foreigners alive.

That's why it is your responsibility to warn them not to come.

immigrants in Poland must integrate

Assimilationist

Guys, please, you are like all foreigners - clueless. Let me explain...

Assimilation only makes sense and is to be expected when people from lower cultures assimilate to higher cultures. Hence, it's obvious that we expect all foreigners in Poland to assimilate whilst expecting Poles anywhere in the world to assimilate to those inferior cultures is unreasonable. Get real.

Don't know about

Chill out, Cms. They're trolling.
