The German and Soviet aggression on Poland in 1939 begun World War 2.
We all know the rest... or do we?
Poland in 1939 had:
- almost 36 million people
- almost 400,000 sq. km area
- almost $900 nominal GDP per capita (equal to $16,500 in 2019) [calculator]
Poland after 1946:
After the German and Russian invasion, 6 years of war, and the highest treason ever experienced by Poland in history, which happened in Tehran 1943 by the signatures of the Prime Minister of UK (the fat pig called Winston Churchill) and the President of USA (the paralytic communism-loving nitwit called Franklin Delano Roosevelt):
- barely 24 million people in 1946 (it took 40 years to reach 1939's population of 36 millions again)
- barely 312,000 sq. km area
- half a century of communist occupation and a quarter century of fake democracy governments run by the children of the commie bastards and their thieving friends, thanks to whom the nominal GDP per capita 80 years later - in the year 2019 - still has NOT reached the level from the year 1939 from before German-Soviet attack! [source] - although (if the prognosis is correct) it looks as it may finally happen in the middle of the year 2020, some 81 years since WW2 ...
MY FELLOW POLES:
DO NOT EVER FORGET THE NATIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR COUNTRY'S LOSS OF A THIRD OF OUR POPULATION AND THE LOSS OF A THIRD OF OUR LANDS. MOREOVER, LET'S NOT FORGET THAT YOURS AND ALL OTHER POLISH FAMILIES' PROGRESS HAVE BEEN STOPPED AND TURNED INTO MISERY FOR THREE GENERATIONS SINCE.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE THE ONES WHO ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE GERMAN AND SOVIET AGGRESSION AND THE ALLIES' TREASON FORGED IN TEHRAN. YOU'VE PAID AND STILL ARE PAYING FOR IT WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERED STANDARD OF LIVING AND YEARS WASTED UNDER COMMUNIST OCCUPATION, WHILE THEIR CHILDREN ARE STILL REAPING THE REWARDS FROM THEIR ANCESTORS' AGGRESSION AND TREASON FOR 75 YEARS ALREADY.
While your great-grandparents in 1939 were living in a country with GDP higher than most European countries and almost the same as Japan, YOU NOW LIVE in a country where - 75 years later - the nominal GDP per capita still HAS NOT reached the GDP from the year 1939, and is still one of the lowest among civilized countries since WW2. It is so thanks to Germans, Russians, and the treason from our "friends" in UK and USA, who in 1943 sold us out to Soviet communists in exchange for Soviet promise of continued fight with Germany...
Always remember this, because those who don't remember their own history always repeat the same mistakes in the future.

Short address to this article: tiny.cc/1939
September 1, 1939, 4:45AM German dreadnaught "Schleswig Holstein" shelling Polish Depot at Westerplatte from its 240mm canons. |
Literally millions of Poles have been executed by German Forces and ordinary Germans (and not by some mythical "nazis" as modern German propaganda want you to believe it nowadays) |
One of many child victims of the "chivalrous" Luftwaffe. (Photos taken by American reporter in the very first days of the German attack and published in USA) |
...yet they valiantly fought for 14 times longer! Only the lack of drinking water forced them to surrender after a week-long battle. |
Polish Depot at Westerplatte in Gdańsk after surrender. |
Hitler had to see it for himself and visited the remains of the Polish Depot at Westerplatte. It was very hard to believe that less than 200 Polish soldiers (majority of them just new conscripts) could have lasted that long against a force TEN times it's own size and consisting of the finest German SS-Infantry and German Marines, without any heavy weaponry at all - but under heavy shelling from German Navy and bombardment from the German Air Force. Only the complete lack of source of drinking water and depletion of their water reserves (prepared for at most 12 hrs of fighting) have forced the Poles to surrender the Depot after a week-long battle, during which they inflicted huge losses to Germans while losing very few of their own troops. Although most of Polish defenders of the Depot have survived the battle onslaught, most of them were executed by Germans after they surrendered. No one else has fought so valiantly in past 2500 years since the 300 Spartans defended the pass at Thermopylae... Wikipedia: Battle of Westerplatte |
Polish anti-tank carbines (Karabiny przeciwpancerne wz.35) and Polish high-velocity 36mm canons (below) simply MUST HAVE wreaked havoc on German tanks, since Germans - despite their 15 times larger tank force - have lost 1/3 of all the tanks during their so-called "blitzkrieg" in Poland.[sources] And again, such high and heavy losses don't fit the definition of a "blitzkrieg" trumped by German propaganda back then and now... Yet this lie is still being repeated by many people today! Designed by the Polish engineer Maroszek in 1934, the top-secret AT-rifles of the Polish Forces were the first armor-piercing weapons in the world to use very high velocity to penetrate any existing armor at that time. Captured guns were later used by Germans and Italians until the end of WW2 (while supplies from conquered Polish Forces lasted), because even when the armor of later generation tanks had been thickened and composite materials had been used, these rifles were still very effective. Without any modifications it could penetrate every existing tank's armor until 1942, and even the newest and latest tanks of WWII were still penetrable by these rifles when hit from closer distances or sides. Russians, who also captured small number of these Polish AT rifles, have tried copying them as well. However, no one was able to understand the nature of these guns and they couldn't figure out that the "secret" to their effectiveness was in the specially designed bullets and muzzle, not in the gun or it's caliber. When they finally came up with their copy of AT gun's design based on this Polish AT rifle (called "PTRD") in the 1940, it was twice the size and used twice the caliber - and yet it still couldn't penetrate the same armor as Polish 1930's-design AT rifle could... It was in the 1960's when the Americans had finally started to use similar high velocity principles in their weapons, yes - almost 30 years later after Polish engineer Maroszek's kb. ppanc wz.35 |
And finally the worst lie of them all:
Polish Cavalry charging German tanks with sabers.
It was first created by one of the nazi reporters in 1939 and repeated by German propaganda during the WW2, but it wasn't until 1959 when famous Polish film director Andrzej Wajda added such fictitious scene in his 1959 film "Lotna". Why would he do it? Because at that time he was this young, not famous yet, communism-sympathizing and ambitious movie director trying to advance his career in communists-occupied Poland. Hence he try to suck it up to the communist rulers of Poland by showing in his film the soldiers of Second Polish Republic as being backward, under-equipped, disorganized, commanded by idiots, and - simply put - as "the loosers" fighting for the "wrong cause" (obviously the Soviet communism was the unspoken and looming in the background "right" cause that the Poles should have been fighting for). It was exactly along the official narration of the Polish communists propaganda on the reasons of why the Second Polish Republic had fallen in 1939 within a month (for political reasons the communists have always omitted the fact of simultaneous Soviet Union attack on Poland and their alliance with nazis during the first years of WW2).Polish Cavalry charging German tanks with sabers.
Unfortunately this fictitious scene from Wajda's film had been picked up and used by many televisions in the world since, usually to illustrate the beginning of WW2, which obviously have helped to spread this lie.
That's the short story behind this most outrageous myth, and may I remind you why I say it is outrageous lie: because Poles have valiantly fought Germans for 6 long years (longer than any other nation) and even though their country had been again split and occupied by Germans and Russians, they have actually never surrendered (the Government of Poland moved to U.K. and remained there in exile long after the communists took over and occupied Poland for next half a century, until the collapse of communism in Poland, when it returned - albeit only symbolically - in 1990).
Throughout entire WW2 Poles kept fighting on all fronts of WW2 in Polish Forces in the West, and when the Soviet-Nazi alliance fell apart in 1941 they even fought in Polish "People's" Forces in the East (under Soviet communists command). And most importantly, Poles kept fighting a partisan, guerilla-style war in their occupied homeland (the underground Homeland Army was largest underground force in the entire WW2), many of which kept fighting communist occupiers long after the end of WW2... but that is yet another story.

Dobrze napisane. Very Good!
OdpowiedzUsuńDobre ale mam ważną uwagę: lepszy odbiór u angoli i amerykusów będzie jeśli usuniecie fragment z "fat pig" i "paralytic nitwit" bo Churchill i Roosevelt to dzisiaj już półbogowie w ich krajach i to tylko urazi ich czytelników. Lepiej wcale o nich nie wspominać
OdpowiedzUsuńNiech wiedzą co o nich myślimy. Nic nie zmieniać!
Usuńjest dobrze NIC nie zmieniajcie!
UsuńCJ ale taka jest prawda, to Churchill i Roosevelt cynicznie sprzedali nas Stalinowi. Prawdą jest też że jeden był tłusty jak świnia a drugi sparaliżowany i w dodatku ukryty komuch (w końcu komuchy w Polsce nawet nazwali ulice jego imieniem nie bez powodu!)

UsuńProszę zrozumieć, że to są obraźliwe przytyki natury osobistej. Cywilizowani ludzie po prostu nie używają takich argumentów-epitetów w dyskusji. Całość jest dobra i do rzeczy za wyjątkiem tych właśnie zbytecznych obelg, które tylko spowodują, że czytelnik anglojęzyczny nie przeczyta całości, a przecież o to chyba chodzi aby przeczytał!
Anonimowy powyżej ma rację. Usuńcie te fragmęty , nie wszystko trzeba tak od razu walić prosto w oczy.
UsuńAnd in 2017 according to the same sources the GDP of Poland still hasn't reached 1939's numbers: currently GDP is estimated by IMF as $12,316 per capita! With adjustment for current infaltion rate, it is equivalent of only $699 USD in 1939!
OdpowiedzUsuńCalculations like this best reveal the extent of damages did by Germans and Russians. It's incredible.
Obecnie w 2017 roku, sprawdzając te same źródła, okazuje się że nominalny PKB per capita nadal jest niższy od tego z 1939 roku i wynosi tylko 12,316 dolarów USA. Po przeliczeniu według tego samego kalkulatora inflacji daje to zaledwie 699 dolarów w roku 1939!
Dopiero na takich przeliczeniach widać jak ogromne i niepowetowane szkody uczynili nam Niemcy i Rosjanie. Niesamowite.
Odbudowanie samej tylko Warszawy pochłonęło przecież ogromne środki, które trzeba przeliczać na lata (gdzieś ktoś wspominał o równowartości ok. 7 lat GDP kraju!). A to przecież tylko środki zużyte na odbudowę tego co było w jednym tylko mieście, czyli 7 lat pracy i życia wszystkich Polaków niejako „zmarnowanych” na przywrócenie mniej-więcej stanu jednego miasta z 1939r, a reszta kraju? I pamiętajmy że w tym czasie reszta świata rozwinęła się przecież o te 7 lat do przodu, a my dreptaliśmy w miejscu jedynie przywracając lub ścigając się z tym co było przed wojną i trwało to 50 lat, bo rzeczywisty rozwój Polski zaczął się dopiero po upadku komuny.
UsuńAni Niemcy ani tym bardziej Ruskie nigdy nie będą w stanie zapłacić nam za te szkody gdyby nawet chcieli (a przecież nie chcą) bo zmarnowanego czasu kilku pokoleń nie da się przeliczyć. Żadne pieniądze nie zwrócą zrujnowanego dzieciństwa moich rodziców czy zmarnowanego życia dziadków.
Używając te same linki podane przez autora:
UsuńGDP na dzisiaj (2018): $13,823
GDP z 1939 ($900) to dzisiaj równowartość: $16,326
czyli jesteśmy trochę bliżej, ale dalej tylko doganiamy rok 1939...
drobny sprzedawczyk wajda przyprawił nam wszystkim krzywy ryj i łatkę idiotów tym filmem i teraz to się ciągnie do dzisiaj!! mam nadzieję że smarzy się w piekle tak jak kiedyś pisaliście

UsuńDlaczego usunęliście komentarz z tłumaczeniem cytatu z niemieckiego magazynu z października 1939 o niemiecko-sowieckiej przyjaźni? Proszę chociaż podać link do tego magazynu bo nie mogę znaleźć w sieci
OdpowiedzUsuńNie usuwamy żadnych komentarzy.
UsuńKomentarz o którym Pan/Pani wspomina zapewne przepadł wraz z którymś usunięciem naszych blogów i witryn w poprzednich latach. Niestety, gdy przywracamy artykuły i felietony z kopii zapasowych na nowej witrynie, nie mamy możliwości przywrócenia komentarzy, jakie były zamieszczone na poprzedniej witrynie.
Z tego samego powodu nie mamy też możliwości odtworzenia linku do tłumaczenia, o jakie Pan/Pani prosi.
Serdecznie pozdrawiam,

I had no idea about any of this. Checking all information contained in this article indeed turned out to be true, albeit role of President Roosevelt is greatly exaggerated here. United States did not have any treaty, pact or any other binding alliance with Poland, after the experience of Great War our governments (not just Roosevelt's administration) stayed away from European politics for very long time, though we were always on the same side against Nazis and we kept supporting Brits after entire Europe succumbed to Hitler. Anyways, I am not surprised to not have been taught any of the facts included in this article, nor am I surprised by the omissions of everything regarding Poland in 1939 in film and television. After all we all know who is running the media and making the propaganda-of-the-day worldwide. Thank you for this article and God bless Poland and Polish people!
OdpowiedzUsuńTrue USA not have pact with Poland, but in this case this not explanation for selling Poland to Russia in Teheran, you understand me? With pact or with no pact you sell Poland to USSR. Shame. This is less traitor from Great Britain we make pact, but this is traitor. No pact not good excuse. Sorry my English is weak, but I hope you understand what I write.
UsuńDas ist ein blödheit der schwachsinnigen!
