71st Anniversary of WW2: Adam Aston - Zawsze będzie czegoś ci brak, 1939

[szpulka7]

Poruszające obrazy, piękny śpiew i potem ten... kontrast!

Niech widzą, co nam zrobili! Nigdy dość przypominania.

Podziękowania od całej mojej rodziny.

[wladyslaw33]

perfect and interesting movie but I was surprised to find this speculation about 2 katyn. It is terrible tragedy but absolutely uncompare with the first one. ))) best wishes!

[BigGuyBoleslaw]

Thank you very much for this video.

I was in Paris in mid-June and some of the photos of pre-war Warsaw really resemble Paris. I understand why it was sometimes called the "Paris of the East".

You write that creating these videos and uploading them to YouTube is your hobby. I'm grateful that you share your work with the world. Thank you.

Jakze to przecudowny film. Wracam co dnia.

dziekuje!

@LeRoi715 Cieszę się i jeszcze raz dziękuje za wpisy. Niestety, również odezwał się z raczej nieprzychylną uwaga jakiś nasz rosyjski (radziecki?) kolega. Właśnie mu odpowiedziałem. Drażni ich, och jak drażni, gdy im mówić prawdę. Widocznie kłamstwo, którym nasiąkają od narodzin, powoduje, że dusi ich czyste powietrze.

Хорошая музыка в руках дурака.

[240252]

@bomb1954 Thank you, Russian friend, for your intelligent and profiound comment! But next time go to some other site, please, if all you have to offer us is your vulgarity.

[bomb1954]

@240252 Мне и здесь хорошо, но когда человек зациклился на ненависти к России, я могу ему это сказать. Спасибо за комментарий.

[240252]

@bomb1954 Nobody here hates Russia. It's nothing but illusion, quite common among Russians: that all rest of the world does nothing but hating and misunderstanding Russia. Such way of thinking may lead to aggresssion and even to wars, like it did many times in the past. I'm sorry to see you are not free from this dangerous obsession.

[bomb1954]

@240252 Агрессивность России не иллюзия, а реальность. Любая империя агрессивна, как и Rzeczpospolita в прошлом.

[240252]

@bomb1954 Yes, I know the theories of so-called historians in Russia, that it is Poland who started the second world war. And poor & helpless Stalin and Hitler had to sign quickly the Ribentrop-Molotow pact to protect Russia and Germany from that terrible bloody Polish imperialist agression. Man, take a hammer and knock your forehead three times before you begin to talk such ignorant nonsense again.

[bomb1954]

@240252 Что Вас так оскорбило, обвинения Польши в агрессивности? Śląsk Cieszyński 1938 год - это происки Сталина? Я не защищаю Сталина. Сталин и Гитлер это преступники.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@bomb1954 Not only two evil people, Stalin & Hitler, were there. Both thier socialist ideologyies were murderous.

Cieszyn was our both, Czech and Polish issue, since at least 1919 and you have nothing to do with it. Don`t try to use it just to excuse national and international socialists and thier genocides, it`s by no mean comparable, nothing is.

[bomb1954]

@VVojtekSoldierBear Когда выгодно, можно закрыть глаза на преступность коммунизма и национал-социализма. Cieszyn - тому пример.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@bomb1954 Can`t You write in English? I know Cirillice, but i have no idea about Russian language.

It was not "convinient", but it was all the same for millions of people if they`re being slaughtered in the name of Stalin, Hitler, national or international socialism.... To make it convinient for your pseudo historical mythology you`re trying to equate us with German national socilaists just becouse of a border dispute with Czechs. Nothing`s comparable to the nazi and soviet terror.

[bomb1954]

@VVojtekSoldierBear  Я хорошо понимаю письменный английский. Устный - плохо. in English writing is very bad. Если Вы поляк - пишите по-польски.

Я пытаюсь объяснить, что во Второй Мировой Войне виноваты многие, не только Германия и Советский Союз. Главная причина - результаты Первой Мировой войны. Это моё мнение. To jest moja opinia.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@bomb1954 Ok, mam nadzieję, że po polsku mniej - więcej też pojmujesz.

Nie mówię, że tylko dwa reżimy odpowiadają za wojnę, ale jednak jest różnica między agresorem, a najechanym krajem, nie wspominając już o ludobójstwie.... Problem w tym, że Niemcom i sowietom wygodnie wszystko relatywizować i stawiać się w roli obrońców, lub wyzwolicieli (oba kraje to robiły w swojej propagandzie).

Zgadzam się, że rewizja wyniku pierwszej wojny była przyczyną, ale nie uważam, że usprawiedliwia agresorów.

[bomb1954]

@VVojtekSoldierBear В политике нет справедливости, только сила. Будь Польша сильнее - она бы никогда не отдала Западную Украину и Беларусь, плюс вернула бы себе Виленский Край. Случилось иначе. Прошлого не изменить.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@bomb1954 Ja nie jestem politykiem...

Oddała komu? I jakiej Białorusi / Ukrainy? Te państwa to były sezonowe marionetki Niemców, tak jak "królestwo" kongresowe. Białorusini nawet nie wiedzieli, że są "Białorusinami", tylko mówili na siebie "tutejszy". W Wilnie i całej Litwie środkowej żyło 4% Litwinów, reszta to byli Żydzi i Polacy.... Ukraińcy przynajmniej nie wymierali z głodu milionami na "zachodniej Ukrainie", większość wolała kolaborować z Niemcami, niż z sowieckimi "wyzwolicielami".

[bomb1954]

@VVojtekSoldierBear Есть вещи, о которых нет смысла спорить. Są rzeczy o których nie ma sensu kłócić. Вы поляк - и всегда останетесь при своём мнении. Национальный вопрос очень сложен, человек решает его не умом, а сердцем.

Я белорус, почти всю жизнь проживший на Украине и сейчас здесь живу. Я очень рад независимости Беларуси, и совершенно равнодушен к независимости Украины. większość wolała kolaborować z Niemcami - сомневаюсь. większość nie wolała kolaborować z Polakami - в этом уверен.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@bomb1954 Prawda, nie ma sensu walczyć o sprawę która jest już tylko historią... Nie zrozum mnie źle, nie chcę nikogo obrazić, ale sowiecka "historia" o oswobodzeniu, niezawisłości i braterstwie jest zwyczajnie fikcją.

Niestety, nazwa "Białoruś" istnieje od XIX wieku, kiedy carski 'ukaz' zabronił używać nazwy "Litwa", język ruski (białoruski) jest drugorzędnym w stosunku do "rosyjskiego" nawet teraz, łatwiej jest znaleźć szkoły i media ruskie w Białymstoku, niż w Mińsku.

@bomb1954

Hey, YOU! You Towariszcz cannot change the history and the FACTS!  Go back your history of Ukraine. Stay way PLEASE from our.

Russian people are our friend not you!

[bomb1954]

@LeRoi715 Towariszcz, не стоит вмешиваться в разговор двоих третьему, когда его об этом не просят. Do you understand?

[LeRoi715]

@bomb1954

this is a public forum n'est pas?

ouch!

[bomb1954]

@LeRoi715  Трудно возразить.

[LeRoi715]

@bomb1954

Hey, YOU! You Towariszcz cannot change the history and the FACTS! Go back to your history of Ukraine. Stay way PLEASE from our.

Russian people are our friends not you!

If you do not like it just stay away . BASTA!

[muscleco]

The good thing about the 20s and 30s is that "freedom" broke out in a lot of the world. America and Western Europe mainly. This freedom was soon extinguished in Russia and Germany after brief flowerings, but continues to burn. Feudal slavery still existed in parts of Europe in the 1800s - don't forget that. We must always be on guard against NARROW MINDS who would drag us all back into the Dark Ages of brain-washing by witch doctors of various types.

[barbcard]

You deserve a Nobel Prize for this hauntingly magnificent video. Aston's singing and the accompanying images brought tears to my eyes. To paraphrase from WH Auden's great poem," Sept.1, 1939" : all the lights of Europe went out on that day.

[240252]

@barbcard I remember that poem very well. Do you happen to know another poem "1st Sept 1939", by John Berryman? - I think it's one that really breaks your heart. Among many dramatic pictures it also describes in the end the death of a White Eagle. Quite possibly, Berryman had a chance to see that terrible Russian poster at 3:34 ?

[dzheger]

A splendid tribute to the tragic day. Moving melancholic music and wonderful vintage photo of old Warsaw which will be missed forever. I said it before and will say it again: this barbaric destruction can never be forgiven. And to think that after the war Poland, the victim, endured more oppression and West Germany, the perpetrator, was embraced and rewarded by the USA.

[240252]

@dzheger Dear D., thank you so much for your wonderful words! I am really moved by your passionate comment.

[tango3721]

Hello Grzegorz - this vid is thought provoking and brings out a lot of deep feelings.

As an optimist - I like to have a good vision for the world - but most nations do suffer at the hands of various "temporary" oppressors. Your video made me think about the horrors of Hitler and Stalin - since a lot of my close family suffered tremendously. Have a great day!

[LeRoi715]

jak zwykle zaskakujaca piosenka...ale mile

cheers!

[MsOldjazz]

beautiful pictures .  God bless the Polish People.

[Corrie121]

Beautiful reflections of the calm before the storm, and then the horror of the storm are depicted in these moving images. The tragedy of man's inhumanity to man which makes countless millions mourn is exemplified in the past sufferings of the Polish nation.

When I viewed the image of Putin embracing the Polish national, I was instantly reminded of Judas Iscariot. His ice cold image portrays an individual devoid of compassion.

Thank you for sharing this timely reminder. The music is beautiful.

[240252]

@Corrie121 Thank you, Corrie. Yes, your metaphore of Judas - an eternal patron of all deceivers - seems to be in here in a right place. I am glad, however, that so much of the beauty and the most precious heritage of the moral and intellectual human values has been saved from the epoch, that was sentenced to death by two greatest tyrrants and psychopaths in a history of a mankind. And Aston will keep on singing his wonderful tangoes forever! :-)

[muscleco]

We have a lot of Eastern Europeans living in England now, and so many of them reflect the attitudes of backward Soviet influence, or at least the lack of progress that we have had in the West. It is like the 50s, 60s never happened. Maybe even the progress of the 1920s and 1930s that we had here. Sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-semetism, and general narrow-mindedness seem prevalent. Hopefully they will come to think the English way :-)

[240252]

@muscleco I am a great fan of English culture, however I do not share your hope the rest of the world "will come to think the English way", I'm afraid. I daresay, some other ways of thinking which are present in this world and among many other nations - including poor East Europeans, who "lack the progress the Western world had in 1920s and 30s" (...do you include in that number communism, fascism, eugenics and euthanasia?) - can be equally valuable...

[LeRoi715]

@240252

Excellent point. Agree.

We have to remember what happened on September First, 1939.

Thank you so much for the film.

[240252]

@LeRoi715 Thank you!

[BernardProfitendieu]

@muscleco what a completely misguided xenophone you are! have you ever befriended (or even gotten to know) one of the "lot of Eastern Europeans living in England?" ... and what's the "English way?" sucking up to a family of German dimwits you call royal?

[BernardProfitendieu]

@BernardProfitendieu xenophobe

[northatlantic78rpm]

@muscleco Not all the socalled "progresses of 1950-70'ies in the West were good. Much was better before 1939, to day you can't open the TV or a news paper without reading about the Sodoma and Gomorrah, it just pollutes and degenerate peoples mind! It seems that some of the socalled crazy humanist left-winged freaks wants everybody to adopt their pervert way of thinking!

[Gadomska]

September 1, 1939, the beginning of our calamity without end, however with some bright points and then growing darkness. Thank you for your video contrasting careless past with later horror - Elzbieta

[240252]

@Gadomska Thank you Elżbieta. You just touched the point. What a strange place is Poland - where the purest evil meets so much good, which still dwells in so many people. It's so difficult to live in Poland - but also, so essential to see the painful truth about this mad, mad world

[genia106]

My Darling Grzegorz,

This is a MASTERPIECE!

The song is so Beautiful and Aston is Sublime.

ZAWSZE bedzie czego ci Brak.....

Sooooooo true.....

BRILLIANT!

Dziekuje Serdecznie....

[240252]

@genia106 Genia, your Polish heart never misleads you. Thank you. It' a strange day, indeed. The longer I live, the closer to my deepest feelings are these events from remote past... Perhaps, the longer we live the more clear we see the structure of time - not as a line, but a circle, or to be more accurate: a spiral . The events do come back, almost in the same shape & decor, but on a different level (- more profound?) of our understanding. Thank you again, my Dear

[genia106]

Grezegorz,

PUTIN IS EVIL PERSONIFIED!

History seem to go full circle....eg the tragic crash of the presidents plane.

Putin embracing the Polish diplomat reminds me of JUDAS!

This is a Beautiful video, reminder of the glory of a bygone time that will never be again. It is as if the Love of your LIfe has died a tragic death. Life will never again be the same, there will always be an ache in your HEART. I have an ache in my Polish Heart today and tears in my eyes.
