It is too late, nationalistic circles are getting stronger and stronger each day...

Po polsku / Apel o pojednanie z Rosją [30]


Można mieć pretęsje że nie zrobili żadnego powstania w czasie
Pamiętajmy że w końcu zrobili rewolucje anty-Carską i w 1991 obalono CCCP
1. W Caracie Rosyjskim dowodził Car a nie lud Rosyjski, też Car robił co ON myślał było by najlepiej dla Rosji i Rosjan a nie czego Rosjanie chcieli

2. CCCP był kontrolowany przez Sowietów, przeciesz w CCCP w najważniejszych stanowiskach nie byli tylko Rosjanie! W czasach CCCP to się rozpochwszedniano idee Sowieta a nie Rosjanina ani Rosji, dopiero w wojnie ojczyznanej to użyto środki "nacjonalistyczne" żeby uratować CCCP a to było zrobione z przymusu

Rosja dzisiaj jako panstwo jest spadkobiercą CCCP, ale nie jest tym samym państwem

Is it untrue? Could you share some information about his head after his death with us? If he is lying it should be easy to back with some proper information no?

As I have lived a year in Poland and come there each year (sometimes two times even)
In which basket would you put me in hmm?

But I wrote I think.... oh nevermind

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]


Well at least there was a Czech & Slovak legion in Poland later on, but as many other soldiers they didn't get arms in time. My Tip-Grandfather was himself waiting for arms and such until he got taken into prison. The other one fought in an artillery brigade/division (should read more up on them, but they write so complicated :/)

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]

Yupp, but they didn't know :/

I wish Central Europe had a stronger bond

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]


Well they (Polish generals) thought Poland had more ties with France (the blue division WW1, Polish lancer during Napoleon times, France seen as nr 1) they had high expectations of France. Also Poland didn't have much positive to say about Czechoslovakia, why should they think others would have any better?

Their logic was logical, but wrong

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]


I had a theory... that's it

"A company from the Polish army’s guard of honor is also invited, as its soldiers took part in the June 1945 Victory Parade."

” Units were selected for the parade from some of the countries that made the biggest contribution to the victory over Nazi Germany — the United States, the United Kingdom and France."

WTH?!


Lenge leve Kongen! :D


That's because Britain declared war on Nazi Germany
Having pressure from two allies isn't quite funny (the national prestige was on board, oh No! Sacreblé! Zhe Islanders are attacking zhe Germans! We shall also "Do Dhat" :)


Still if Nazi Germany had a two front war in 1939 they would get screwed, read some comments from high ranking German officers about it. Can't remember the links tho so long time ago :/

Almost all of the German troops were at the eastern front with Poland (although I probably guess the French thought they will attack us first, just like in WW1, or they shall get tired in Poland then they will get smashed by our Maginote defenses)

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]


Well the one I linked shows the location of nationalities in 1931
But to give you some form of an idea of what uprising Poles "thought" they would have is quite interesting

That is (I think) one of the main reason Poles in general saw themselves as "citizens of an Empire" as the borders of the country stretched itself a bit more then the main population was.

News / THE ARMY OF POLAND - THE REALITY [493]


I would say yes, rather then an alliance with Russia for instance. That is (I think) one of the MAIN reason of why the Polish government is pro-American in general

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]

*nods*
As there was a Imperial Kaizer which "controlled" most of then days Holy Roman Empire, there was no quarrels with them at a long term, also Ruthinian lands were attractive as nobody else made any claims to them. It was Russia who claimed them later on, as Poland-Lithuania having an "monopoly" on those territories was very suitable. It wasn't until Russia developed that many factors starting to look at Poland-Lithuania with a greedy mind. (Sweden, Ottomon Empire, Russia and Transylvania)

Ofc later on it all were old history as Poland-Lithuania were partitioned, although Poles started to go back to their "Imperial" claims in 1918 when making a great success towards Soviet Union. If you check maps of how they imagined Poland would be, you would be quiet shocked. As they looked upon it as smaller then nowadays Poland. After the success with Soviet Union in 1921 they could even draw the line. As they felt glorious and that nobody could stand a chance against them they expanded their idea of the new born Poland.

Something close to this picture was the idea of the reborn Poland if you look at the Polish population except for those in Ukraine and Belarussia and Lithuania, then you could grasp the idea of how Poland should look like for those who started the Uprising in 1918

History / The great mistakes of Poland's history? [216]

I agree with most of em them except for allowing Jews to settle in Poland

With all due respect Mr but: Are you on crack?

Love / Polish men are complete doormats (especially after they get married) [125]

I am half Polish and half Norwegian but unlucky I am a full doormat :/
I always wish I was more masculine but I am really a big Sissie...

Although I remember saving the School from fire heroically by reacting reflexive and taking the napkin which was on fire carry it out and trample it down in the snow. All of the school was in ave from me doing the deed.

Still when it comes to women I am most often quite on the soft side and "Gentlemen" like opening doors etc. Teachers always looked so weird on me when I opened doors for em etc.

1 time I misinterpreted an older womens gest, I wanted her to go first on the bus but she didn't move so I thought she wanted me to go first, as the bus was already late I thought we shouldn't make too much of an argument over it and I stepped in. Two seconds later I heard a comment "Youth now a days" and to this DAY I feel ill over it and hope I may be forgiven by heavens and god and angels a like for that event.

I am a real doormat :/

Travel / Your best memory after visiting Poland [41]

It was when I was very little, it dark and late and I was near "Grób nieznanego żołńierza"
There was a parade I remember while sitting on my fathers shoulders, the mix of darkness and soldiers parading made me remember it for all eternity.

Another one was when I was with 2 of my friends at a Pizza hut in Warsaw where we met a very nice waiter, we gave him a huge tip :)

News / Should Poland made an energy bridge deal with Russia? [122]


and if sided with Russia... We would be political vassals?

I would say a stronger alliance with neutral or "not so important" countries in Europe would be a lot better. Although the communication would be difficoult

History / Piłsudski, like Hitler and Stalin (according to some Lithuanians) [144]


Poles made uprisings just like that, Poles never needed any excuse to do anything their acts are always justified :)

Well if you had tried out Supermacy1914.com we could maybe had done that. But you didn't want to join my world conquest game:

polishforums.com/off-topic-lounge-47/world-conquest-game-37638

Or I can make a theory test! :o


Don't you remember that Germans were filled with Germany got attacked let's attack Poland?
Even then there were ppl who didn't want to join the army. Ive seen some revolts of civilians against recruitment centers in 1939 (on a video) I think it was youtube. It was long time ago so I can't remember the title unfortunately

History / Piłsudski, like Hitler and Stalin (according to some Lithuanians) [144]


Taking over the capitol wouldn't be a bit
remember we are talking 1933/1934 here
400.000+ Polish soldiers vs max 100.000 German soldiers
If the Polish army was prepared heck maybe even 1 mill troops

That many troops can enter deeeeeep into Germany at that time no?


You sure that if Poland drove some propaganda: Freie Bavarian! Freie Bavarasche stadt!
Katolikken! Foreenen sie! (no idea what unite is in German)

Maybe some Germans would like to have some help from Poland thanks to the finincial crisis? hmm?

Although patriotism would appear I am sure but there were still tensions in Germany no?
Also 1 very important thing, how long would it take to arm themselfs? To 1 million troops? Also what would U.K and France do if they armed themselves while Polish troops were in Germany? They could maybe declared war? That would force the German high command to send troops towards France too?

I wouldn't like to be German staff in 1934 if Germany got attacked by Poland so to say.

Also going back to the coup de etat, didn't Stauffenberg do something while holy Germany was being invaded so to speak? ;)
