Witold Pilecki

Witold Pilecki was a common man who lived in uncommon times. He was a victim of Communism, Fascism, Socialism, and Emperialism in Poland during two world wars. He fought for freedom and country, showed more bravery in his life than perhaps any man ever has before, and will never be forgotten.

@whaddupmf Poland is the place in the hearts so any asshole with the biggest army can`t conquered this land. Poles want it so it`s always exist acordning Polish anthem "Poland has not yet perished, So long as we still live. What the alien force has taken from us,

We shall retrieve with a sabre."

The history of Poland during the 20th century is both tragic and inspiring. The end (in1918) of some 123 years of partitions, WWI, 1914-1918, the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1920, the devastation of WWII and the 45 years of Soviet Communist occupation. You would think that after all these cataclysms there would be no Poland today, and yet it is here and thriving. Amazing country, amazing history !!!

@MV23267 I may also be related to him. Witold Pilecki in my point of view, was one of the bravest souls to roam this vast and endless earth

[Rachman1337]

Bravest man of all time.

[enzorussian]

hero is the only word to describe him.

legend, who tried to stand up against german atrorities in one of the most evil times and place. not many man would have enough balls to do the same.

its an irony that someone given rightous among the nations was killed by a jew, whos very race he tried to save.

The Nazis had to set up an entire new camp just for Pilecki's nads
