Yeah, and sadly we still are... the battle goes on

The General Government was a German slave colony designed to be gradually turned into an agricultural colony with German masters ruling Slavic serfs, which would in theory become part of Germany-proper over time. They setup a model of this idea in the annexed areas of Poland: Wartheland, Posen, West Prussia, etc, where Poles were subjugated below the imported German farmer population from other diasporas. In the General Government, the plan was for it to get like this once most of the slave labor (ie Jews and Poles) were dead, with the remaining poles being serfs like in Wartheland, Posen, West Prussia, etc. This was the plan for Ukraine, Eastland and Moscow as well, with the exception that these were brand new (German-speaking) countries and were not intended to become part of Germany-proper; they were German colonies which would become independent settler states. The General Government was a direct part of the Realm but as colony and not part of the Realm-proper. Similar to the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia but not entirely the same, there were several key differences. I don’t think the Protectorate was colonial in character, although the Czechs were treated as slaves. The General Government was very much a colonial administration.

After further research I believe Ukraine, Eastland, and Moscow were planned to also eventually become part of the Realm-proper later on, but unlike the General Government they were not part of Germany upon creation or during their existence.

Thank you for the excellent history lecture. As a Pole, let me add something to your statement. 1. After World War I, Germany did lose some of its lands to Poland ... but most of them were lands, that had previously been taken from Poland during the partitions (1795). 2. Krakow was the former capital of Poland, and Wawel is a former royal castle, perhaps the the most important monument in Poland 3. In contrast to Western Europe, helping Jews in Poland was punishable by death. Nevertheless, the Poles are the most numerous group in Yad Vasmem's Righteous Among the Nations 4. If you are interested in the subject, I recommend a excellent animated film - 4 minutes long kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2xso82HYcu0ibA.html I think this explains, why many of us still treat Germany and Russia with a slight distance - to this day.

Thank you for your work this channel is phenomenal. I'm Polish-American trying to trace my family history prior to 1950 it's been next to impossible. Records in Poland, especially for the underground resistance were destroyed during the war by the Germans and what I can find leaves me with more questions than answers. If anyone with more experience has direction for information about displaced Poles from 1939-1950 I'd appreciate it. I only know my grandfather was from Lodz, active in the Polish home army (underground resistance) apparently spent the last years of the war informally working with British SOE and his story ends there for what I can find. My grandmother was detained in Wodj, moved through various labor camps in Poland but I cannot find anything about her family at all. Obviously they met and ended up in Chicago, IL, USA in 1950 through NYC. I have no idea how they got there, who was with them, who received them, or any of their movements in Poland and Germany from 45 - 50. Any replies and suggestions are appreciated.

The amount of sabotage caused by Home Army only in between 1941 and 1944 was humongous (no other resistance group came even close). The Home Army, in spite of political animosity towards the Soviets, conducted the sabotage operation to help the Soviets because the Home Army viewed the Soviets as lesser evil. This, in turn, made Home Army hope that the Soviets would help them during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 (not to be confused with the Ghetto Uprising 1943).

Excellent work! I have been studying WW1 and WW2 since I was very young. My Grandfather and three Uncles were WW2 veterans and my own father a Korean War Vet. I have found that the wars were so massive in scale and scope it has been impossible to know everything (my minor in school was “History”). My wife asks “why do you continue to study something that happened 75 to 100 years ago it’s over and done and in the past”. I answer “because the wars (especially WW2) we’re so catastrophic and barbaric in scale that I must try to understand “the why” such as why would a highly cultured nation such as Germany and Austria follow one man Adolph Hitler into hell? The effects of the war shaped the world as it is today and unfortunately I believe too many young people don’t know the horrors of what happened in the last century. My then 35 year old nephew a college educated, smart young man, was at my house a few years ago and was looking at a lithograph I have on the wall of B-17 “Flying Fortresses” locked in air combat with Bf-109 & FW-109 “Rammjager” attack fighters over Germany. As he’s looking at the image he asks: “So this was when Hitler fought Japan right?” Naturally my head exploded as I fell off my chair so I told him to “sit down, listen, and learn”. I start with: “From 1939 to 1945 as many as 60 million persons perished during what we refer to as WW2. If you start from 1931 when the Japanese invaded Manchuria and include other conflicts such as the “Spanish Civil War” and all the persons who perished from all causes such as starvation, displacement, disease, and further brutality such as the Russian Army having its way with the German civilians compliments of “Stalin’s orders” as many as 80 million persons or more, perished by the end of the 1940’s as a result of World Wide conflagration”. My nephew stared at me in disbelief and said: “I never knew they did not teach us about this in school”...hence “those who do not study history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past while those of us who do study history are doomed to stand by while everyone else repeats the same mistakes”.

My Grandfather was a medic and served in a field hospital outside of London. He was far from the front lines but the effects of searing hot metal tearing thru flesh and destruction of the young soldiers bodies and minds he treated effected him dramatically until his last days. The closest he came to danger was when a V2 landed near the hospital and created quite a mess including many casualties. My dad’s brother served aboard a Light Cruiser in the 5th Fleet. He was 17 when he shipped out in the fall of 1943 and was at Tarawa, Tinian-Saipan, Leyte Gulf, the Philippines, Guam, Chichi Jima, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. He survived both “Halsey’s Typhoons”. He talked about the things he witnessed including wave after wave of Kamikaze attacks at Iwo and Okinawa. He was wounded when a round cooked off in the barrel of a 40mm Bofors AA gun where he served as a “Gunners Mate”. My other Uncle (dads cousin really) was a Waist Gunner on a B-24J Liberator in the 466th BG, 96th Combat Wing, 8th AAF. His first mission was on June 6th, 1944 supporting the landings and his 36th was on August 11th, 1944 over Strasbourg, GR. He had some amazing stories. My own father served in the 93rd Refueling Squadron USAF S.A.C. 1951-1957 during the Korean and Cold War. He never got anywhere near Korea as he was a flight line mechanic and worked on KB-50’s, P-51, F-86 Sabre, and later KC-135 and B-52’s Stratofortress’s flying over the pole while stationed in Thule, Greenland. He was on “Crash Crew” one day when a B-47 crashed on take off at Edwards AFB, CA in 1951 which was a real mess. Perhaps one of the most interesting 8th AAF Veterans I knew was a pilot aboard a B-17F in 1943 before there was fighter escort. He survived 25 missions including the disastrous October 14th, 1943 Schweinfurt raid known as “Black Thursday” when 60 B-17’s were shot down and 121 were damaged including his ship “Liberty Belle”. With the exception of my dad who is still with us they all belong to the ages.

Well done! Very interesting! Fun Fact: My family members immigrated to the US (Chicago) from Brzozow Tarnow and Rzeszow (at that time was a part of Austrian Galicia) right before WWI 😁

In the WWII Ukrainien actively formed SS-Galicien, and UPA, OUN forces amd more over plane civilians were responsible for numerous massacres of Poles . The number of killed Poles, during and after the WWII, till now is an enigma and counts of at least 200 000 but accordingly to some sources even 500 000 native Poles not only killed but tortured with bestiality one could not expect from even partly civilised nations.

Great video but you have made a mistake in describing some of the Polish lands as German. Poland didn't annex but regained their lands which were stolen by the Germans during Partitions of Poland. You can't call these territories as properly German because: -Historically they were Polish,for example Gniezno was the first capital of the Kingdom of Poland which owned all of the so called "German empire's lands". By so called "German Empires lands" i meant areas like Poznań,Gdańsk,Gdynia,Bydgoszcz etc. Polish people built these cities not the Germans. -Ethnically about 60-70% of the residents in those areas spoke Polish and had ancestors of Polish descent,some of the Germans living there weren't in fact even German but they were germanized Poles who assumed German nationality. Fun fact a few of the Polish cities in the German Empire were left with their Polish names because the Germans couldn't find a suitable name for them. They only removed the Polish signs for example they replace ń with n. So a far better term for these lands would be "occupied Polish lands". Of course I'm talking about the pre ww2 period (1918-1939). Because after the war Poland did annex German lands like Śląsk and Pomorze Zachodnie as a recompensation for loosing Kresy Wschodnie which were unrightfully taken away by the Soviet Union. Everything else in this video is good and informative. Cheers.

its obvious that this guy is from Poland and has been brainwashed by the history teaching there . i ll just give one example. danzig had a very small Polish minority over the centuries and in fact the vast amount of Danzig citizens were Germans and German speaking, they did not feel themselves to be Polish but always German. HIs rathional that Poland was reclaiming ancient Polish lands in 1945 from a partition of Poland in the 1700s is like saying the American Indians have a right to and will reclaim large tracts of land now from the foreign USA aggresors. Poland had nothing to say about it in any event. The USSR did not want to give back the lands that were Polish at the Bug and San rivers which they had conquered in the Rippontropp pact; and so Germany had to be forced in their unconditional surrender to give up one third of the Reich territory to become a new Poland. To say they were "reclaiming" territories from 1000 years ago is ridiculous. Poland had to accept what was given. End of story.R.

@@robertomanz6399 You're so stupid that you didn't even understand what i wrote about... My comment focused on Polish core lands,which were Polish ethnically and historically for most of their existence,for example regions like: (Poznań,Gdynia,Gniezno and surrounding areas). I have never spoken a word about Gdańsk,but now i will. Gdańsk was founded by the Poles and was Polish for the most part. There was a time when teutonic knights betrayed Poland and occupied Gdańsk but Poland destroyed them not long after that with help from Lithuania,and the final time when Germany occupied o during the partitions of Poland,then it began the process of germanizating Gdańsk and its surrounding areas,and when Poland ceased to exist,Germany tried to germanize the occupied land even harder,but they failed in most cases,the only successful germanization victim was sadly Gdańsk which had a Polish ethnic majority before the partitions,but later the Poles got germanized and became new germans,German settlers came,and the city forcefully became German. Luckily the other areas i talked about stayed Polish ethnically keeping the majority,now when it comes to the lands Poland got after ww2 they haven't been Polish since a thousand years and the name reclaimed was Soviet propaganda so the poles wouldn't feel as bad for loosing Eastern Poland which was unrightfully taken by the Soviets,Poland could've stayed independent but the allies sold them out to stalin because they were afraid of him and that's why Poland suffered from communism,Churchill simply gave stalin something to keep him satisfied and hoped for keeping peace,he basically betrayed and ally.

Let's ignore the equally repressive and horrendous conditions Eastern Poland, occupied by Russia from 1939, two weeks after the Germans marched in. Have you heard of Katyn, or the number of Pples sent to the Gulags??????????

I had some odd lessons about that time. There was a detailed manual for subjugating Poland with intense detail on exacting tribute. After WWII, an imprisoned general was asked why Germany had lost WWII. There were concentration camp manuals too. He said "Germany went on to multiple things one after another before fully digesting Poland." One mercy was the choirs, where Poles (the nonsingers just sat) sang to the exultation of their rulers and were fed, How to dye jersey dresses into dirt colors. How to make heels functional. The complicated situation of Polish hams. How long to wait for a treed Pole ro come down. Nazi dog packs were based on thedog packs formed naturally along the Ohio River, who fed on huge junk fish. What prodictive Poles should be fed.

Most of the time when it asked my dad about the war,he told me that I would not of believe him of what went on. I think I would have believed him. The men of the WW2 era accomplished great thing. I guess because they had too. Most of the time in WW2, my dad cut hair. He cut American GI hair and German's POW hair. But he saw a lot of men turned apart. I guess you know what an 18 wheeler's is. It is a very long truck used to hall goods and merchandise in the USA. I guess other countries have them also. Since the tailor is very long and very high,you can hall a lot of goods on this truck. In WW2, these long trucks were used for different things. One was for carring dead soldiers. British,American,and German's dead soldiers. My dad seem on several times where blood was just pouring out from this long truck. Over here in the States,it is not unusual to see water pouring out the back of these long trucks. He said it was not unusual to see blood pouring out of these trucks over there. I asked him about the war in the 60's,70's,80's,and 90's. He answer almost nothing all the time. One time he told me about being in combat. It was the start of the Battle of the Buldge. Like I said my dad mainly cut hair during the war. But when they needed him,he had too put his cutting tools down and pick up his rifle. They told him that he was a soldier first. There was this section of land where the Americans were very weak in. If the German's knew how week the Americans were ,they could have gone all the way to Paris,France and retook the city. This battle started around 4p.m. with the German's using their 88's. An 88 was a big long gun with a long shell and when they shell exploded,it makes a very loud sound. Like sharp thurndering and lighting. Well the Germans started fireding these 88's at 4p.m. and went through 9 A.m. the next morning. My dad said that the Germans fired these 88's ONE every SECOND. I asked him, you mean one every minute. He said no,it was one every second. Around 6p.m. the Germans starting their charge at the U.S. line. My dad and about 125 more men started firing with everything they had. The co(comanding officer) was afraid that the Germans were going to break thru our lines. The rest of the men thought the same thing. The Co got on the radio and tried to get some help for his man. He tried at 6,7,and 8 pm. At 8 pm,HQ told him he was on his own until 8 am. next morning. It would be that time before the Rangers could get there. My dad was firing his rifle and there were men to the right and left of my dad firing their rifles. The Rangers did get there at 8 am. the next morning. Half of your men were dead. The Germans stopped the attack at 9 am. due to heavy losses. Soon after the Rangers got there,the Co was killed. After the fighting was over with,they counted the Germans bodies. There were 2,500 dead Germans and 65 dead Americans . I think my dad was in other battles but this is the only one he told me about. How many men did my dad killed that night??? He had no ideal. He might not even killed one. When they Germans were hit,you could hear them screamed. But remember there were soldiers to the right and left of my dad firing their rifles too. My dad might not of killed anybody.Then he might if killed 500 or more. Nobody knows.

We'll never know. - The Einsatzgruppen were formed in 1939 actually and part of the SS. The did perform executions of Polish intellectuals and Jews. Yet, after Barbarossa they went into overdrive by committing much bigger mass shootings.

I see. The German name was 'Generalgouvernement für die besetzten polnischen Gebiete'.

That's NOT what happened with the Warsaw Uprising. The Russians did NOT simply pull up short of the Vistula River. What happened was the Russians promised to attack Warsaw from the outside while the Poles attacked from the inside. The actual attack though was quite different. When the Poles attacked from the inside, the Russians did nothing and let the Nazis wipe out the Resistance almost to the man. That saved the Russians the trouble of having to find the Partisans and execute them themselves after the city was "liberated". Stalin hated all partisans even Russian partisans and went to great lengths to have them all executed as soon as they outlived their usefulness. That way there would never be a threat of insurrection against his government. After the Polish partisans were slaughtered inside Warsaw, the Russians launched an uncoordinated attack on the city which cost many, many more lives than necessary bc it was unsupported by diversionary attacks from the Poles. Ah, the joys of communism. Otherwise GOOD video!

The second one he worked on was owned by a decent chap. A local Nazi official arrived once and too the farmer to task for allowing the foreign workers to eat in the kitchen with his family. The farmer told him to shove it - if they work with me, they eat with me. He told my father that if he went home on leave and didn't come back the bauer would not report him. My father returned to Lodz and worked in the factory that had employed him before the war. In early 1944 the Germans packed up the factory and its work force and shipped it all to Suhl in Thuringia because of the Soviet advance. My mother and I joined him there in September of 1944.

On 16 August 1944, the Assistant Commissar for Foreign Affairs, Andrei Vyshinsky, told Harriman that "the Soviet government cannot of course object to English or American aircraft dropping arms in the region of Warsaw since this is an American or British affair.

By mid-1939 the fight was already set between the Reich and the USSR. The Russians spent a lot of time and effort trying to get the Poles on board with a fight against the Nazis in the 1930s but they wouldn't cooperate, they had a misplaced view of their strength. Once Czechoslovakia was absorbed into the Reich Poland was toast and the soviets gave up and their new foreign minister ended up agreeing a 'non-aggression pact' with Germany. The partition was only a temporary situation, it was just buying time and gaining distance to the Reich. Given this background (see history of the 30s & Germany) it wasn't surprising that the USSR occupied Poland after the war. The Germans had eliminated the intelligentsia, the core of a post-war government and the vacuum would get filled (as with other Eastern European countries) with communists that had fled to Russia pre-war. Post 1980 revisionist history in the West tends to think in terms of black and white -- we're good, the others, bad. This isn't exactly how things went down. The only reality was the utter brutality meted on Slavs by the Germans and people who fancied themselves as Ayrians (Ukraine and the Baltic States provided a lot of manpower for the Waffen SS and the camps).
