This is the type of entertainment that should be filling our TVs, not the useless rubbish we see nowadays. Great video :)

@tfifriday1 They were involved in a struggle for the life and death of their nation and race in the East and they knew that more accuteley than the general army. They were fighting extremist communist and zionist political troops who also fought alongside the soviet armies so you cant judge them as the only uniqueley ruthless forces in ww2. History is written by the victors-Karl Marx.

Looking forward too buying this when it comes out:

My uncle jack was a top gunner in the 101 Sqd , he was 1 of 4 brother's who served in the force's at that time , thankfully 3 came back , jack didnt , he was always lovingly remembered by the whole family.

@sidelock123 The Waffen SS were ruthless and commited many war crimes, and the organisation as a whole was declared a criminal organisation in the Nuremberg trials after the war.

After what they did in the Warsaw uprising - especially Ochota & Wola - I have no idea how you can be proud of having any association to them, whether it was your grandfather or not.

Britain ained absoluteley othing from coming to polands aid in WW2 and yet lost everything, her empire, her superpower status and who was victorious-The USA and USSR!-All in the name of Winston Churchill and his personal legacy...Even he realised the Soviets were a far greater threat but by then it was too late. Germany was a bullwalk against communism and destroying her allowed them to dominate Europe for the next 60 years!

@wensleydale15 Again complete and utter rubbish. The German Army only came westwards after Britain and France decided to stick to a strategically irrational arrangement to come to Polands aid if she was attacked. Hitler had no intention whatsoever or ambitions to invade or destroy Britain-In all Hitlers writings and speaches pre war he praised bEngland and her Empire and wanted his new empire in the East in the wastelands of Western Soviet Union. You need to expand beyond GCSE!

@sidelock123 Have you forgotten about the German Army sitting just a few miles from Britain accross the Channel, just itching to invade ,just itching to take away our freedom and rights.How many death camps would have been set up over here I wonder?. Thats what it had to do with Britain you fucking gimp.
