Do you regard the Polish Communist Partizans as heroes?

Do you regard the Polish Communist Partizans as heroes?

I guess you should consider this on a person by person basis, while remembering that you can be both a heroe and an idiot at the same time.

What about modern Polish historiography and about what they teach you in schools regarding the Polish Communist Partizans.

I know in Serbia the Partisans are still held in very high regard and as heroes by many.

Obviously post communist Poland's historiography would be very different than during the cold war, but I'm interesting in knowing specifically how the Polish Partizans, not the Red Army or NKVD are viewed.

Kingathelstan, you are sick

where are you from King, Trowbridge,Wiltshire ... in Serbia? lol

I think that this joker is a pretend Englishman, with such dreadful spelling and all.

Hence his good knowledge of Serbian history, servile attitude to and admiration of all thinks Russian (odd think about many Serbians is that they see themselves as lesser people in comparison to the Russians), but he want openly admit it because he knows that they have reputation as baby killers and rapists after their recent Kosovo conflict.

indeed this may be the case although you would be surprised at the appalling spelling of a lot of English people

just ran an eye over my previous line and it looks reasonably ok :-)

Soviet partisans in Poland are not synonymous with Polish communists partisans.
Soviet partisans in Poland (former Soviet occupied Poland) after Katyn discovery were to Polish partisans an enemy just like Germans only more trecherous. That's the image people get nowadays from interviews with members of Home Army. Soviet partisans accepted and executed orders from Stalin so what would you expect. It really looks like in some areas they were more busy fighting Polish democratic partisans than fighting the Germans.

I wish I could say the same for my previous post(: Anyhow how else would you explain his fascination with Russia and knowledge of Serbian history.

I'm married to a Serbian women, but yes I'm about as English as it gets.


I'm sorry I didn't realise there was a difference between The Polish communist Partizans:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armia_Ludowa

So yes, I would like to know how the 'Armia Ludow Communists' are viewed in modern Polish historiography?

P.S I just have an interest in Eastern European history during the war.

Simple answer is until 1989 ish the Communist Partisans were the Official Heros of Polish resistance simply because the AK was far too hot a potatoe to go near. The rank and file were seen as patriots led by fascist traitors. Since the fall of communism it would seem its all change, the AK are now the Official Heroes while the communist partisans are rarely mentioned. Give it 20 years and there may be a bit of balance to these things,but not quite yet. Its the same with the LWP etc.

There were no "Polish Soviet partisans", you mean Soviet partisans.

Were there no Poles amongst their ranks?

Haven't heard about any. There were some Polish Jews - those who didn't identify as Poles.

Haven't you said that your kids are half Welsh?

A moderator in thread Rasism in Poland wrote to Somerset:


Makes me ponder...

Yes my kids are indeed half Welsh, my wife (2nd Marriage, is Serbian)

Nobody would have an nationality in those ranks as their doctrine was: There are no nationality's only 1 globe or something. Any Pole who would joined Soviet partisants cause of ideology stopped being a Pole. Unless he was a scammer of course and just wanted to survive. But yeah not that many Poles joined Soviet partisants, there were plenty of Polish partisants to join even as you mentioned "Armia Ludowa".

For me their a bunch of scum becaouse they sat on fire my family's property cause they had a better "status" and was seen as nobles... While local peasents greeted my family with open arms when they returned after the war, right before the fire by some stupid AL or Red armists (or even both at the same time)

They fought Germans and most of them actually got murdered by Russians, yeah they're considered as heroes but being a tiny fraction of the real partizan movement they dont get a lot of attention.


No such thing, Soviet Partizans would consist of Ukrainians and Russians living in Poland, Polish Communist Partizans were not always supportive of Russia.

Also how about stick to one username and stopp troilling you little f*ck?

They organised a few serious military operations against German occupiers. Those who participated can be considered heroes. They fought for Poland, doesn`t matter they wanted communist Poland.

E.,g., on 10 May 1943 they blew up the Nur fur Deutsche cafe in Warsaw, killing 6 Germans. In another attack a few months later, the German death toll rose to 18.

pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_Podlaski_w_Warszawie

In communist times they were glorified and their role was greatly overemphasized. Later it turned out there were few of them compared to AK. Besides, they often dealt with dubious activities. Simply speaking, some communist partizans were renegades who often prefered to attack Poles instead of Germans.

However, when they fought against Germans, they could be extremely effective. There were a few famous battles in which AL units played a major role and even defeated Germans.

Unfortunately, those battle links are only in Polish:
e.g.,
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitwa_pod_Gruszk%C4%85

At least they didn`t collaborate with Germans as openly as nationalist NSZ.

You are sick get some help , you sure you are Polish, you don't seem to have a clue about what the communists did in the east during WWII, my family does sadly only half of us survived your hero's.

Agreed.
I can't understand any true Pole showing any sympathy to Polish communists at all.
And most won't.
Pawian has some strange left wing views that often cloud his judgement.

Sadly mate if you come and live here you will come across them, I do from time to time , so far they have shut their gobs once they see what side of the fence I sit on (No balls), It amazes me, where in hell do these soviet apologist come from , are they born deficient or is it breeding from their old soviet conspiring parents / grandparents.

They are a minority in the ones that got left behind.
Families like yours and mine who escaped to the UK, USA, Canada and Australia do not suffer from this illness.

No the ones that escaped suffer from an illness called village Catholicism

Any Pole who initially fought Hitler is a hero.

@Jan Kowalski
I much prefer a faithful villager, compared to unfaithful city dwellers who think they are somewhat better based on location and population density

@Lyzko
If one thinks there was only one culprit during ww2, it makes sense. Problem is, Stalin was also a mass murderer

I cant understand why kamala harris and joe biden dont sell you true poles out already and do a second yalta and move the troops out thats what i cant udnerstand. why support a racist right wing backward turd world country just because they are anti russia everything against the woke culture?

listen to what he says and learn pollacks:

youtube.com/watch?v=i_zWDQb53B4

Ive never seen any other country but polackistan claim you have to be right wing or nazi or nationalist to be a pollack. Maybe afghanistan but no white country before.

America is known for its multiculturalism by the way ask johnny and thats what makes it exceptional or great. ask trump or biden.

You people are a shame. This is not the Poland the great hero walesa fought for.

"Nia za taka Polske walczylem"

"I cant understand why kamala harris and joe biden dont sell you true poles out already and do a second yalta........"

You must be 'woke' which would explain your absurd comment.

It is highly improper to call sb a shame after you were deported to Poland as a convicted pedo criminal yourself. If you don`t understand that Poland offered you a chance to improve your lousy life which can`t be even called a life coz it is pathetic vegetation, you are a retard. Simple.
