Then you'll like this: Something like mentioned in 4:28 happened on much bigger scale. The defence of Chocim fortress in 1672 against invasion from Ottoman Empire was given to Jerzy Michał Wołodyjowski despite his lack of knowledge on fortress defence, because he was the only trusted officer who agreed to defend a fortress in such a bad shape. Spending his own funds, he recruited a little over 1000 soldiers and 500 civilians to defend the fortress while he needed at least 8 000 to cover the walls. He also lacked modern artillery and engineers. Regardless, he managed to halt Ottoman army for 19 days and at one point, when Turks blew up an unguarded part of the wall, he ran there and fought the Turkish attack alone before just one more nobleman joined him and the two managed to repel the assault with bombs and muskets they had prepared at the position. He managed to negotiate with the Turks that they would let the civilians leave the city free and unharmed, and shortly after an artillery officer from Courland blasted to the armory with a torch, killing himself, Colonel Wołodyjowski and the fortress' defenders. Folk myth is that Colonel didn't want to give fortress to the enemy and wanted the event to 'wake the nation' since it all happened because the Republic neglected funding of the army and fortifications for decades.

Amazing how even so early in the war, the SS and regular German army were so quick to commit war crimes.

If I was to chose which European I like the most I think it would be the Poles because they remind me of my people, always someone who wants to destroy them, enslave them and take their lands but they always fought and survived. I also read a story (hidden history) as a kid that during the napoleonic wars napoleon sent some Polish men/soldiers to Haiti to quash the slave uprising. Those same Polish soldiers ended up joining the slaves to fight Napoleons men who wanted to continue denying freedom. Poles know the true meaning of freedom. You might think don’t mess with America, China, Russia but I say don’t mess with people who know the TRUE meaning of freedom, the Polish people. Besides, I like their food too.

people actually saying "But the germans tactics sucked" and "But the germans weren't defended and had equal equipment" Probably don't know how defending a building from with Light artillery works. did you miss the part were there were only a hand full really defending.

I am so glad that you guys covered these heroes. It’s a last stand that’s not talked about a lot and what they did was amazing! ❤️🇵🇱

Soviet soldier in Stalingrad and Belarusian partisan: Hold my beer lil bro!)

Dude! These animations are amazing! Incredible work!

If i had a nickel for every time a Postmen/Courier was able to hold off a group that's way stronger than them I'd have 2 nickels Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice

Seeing the price of stamps today almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Thanks you from Poland, you does great job in that film. And take my sub ;)

You could make a video about the defence of Hel. Both Poles and Germans survived the longest while defending Hel and both had the same great idea of turning the Hel Penisula into an separate island

You forgot about someone: "In the Polish Post Office complex on 1 September 1939 there were 56 people: Guderski, 42 local Polish employees, ten employees from Gdynia and Bydgoszcz, and the building caretaker with his wife and ten-year-old daughter, Erwina, who lived in the complex." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defence_of_the_Polish_Post_Office_in_Danzig

It's great to see you cover another Polish episode of WW2! There are plenty more you could do in the future, like the defence of Westerplatte, which was hinted at in this very video at 1:50. But the one I would love to see the most, and I think would be perfect for this channel, is the liberation of the KL Warschau (Warsaw concentration camp) aka "Gęsiówka", on 5 August 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising. It includes the insurgents successfully using a captured Panther tank.

Would love to see them cover the Polish actions at Monte Cassino, and the Falaise pocket.

What about occupation, pseudo-referendum and annexation of the Capital of Lithuania Vilnius? Same pseudoreferendum did Putin in the Crimea, Ukraine!

Don't mess with the mailman.

This animation is getting better each day!

it is incredible how much your ·D has improve over the months !!!! Please do a video of your team, how you is the preparation method for a video, how do you pick the stories, etc. A "HOW IT WAS MADE"

There is a movie about the defence of the Polish Post Office "Wolne Miasto" from 1958, directed by Stanislaw Rozewicz - same man, who directed another war movie "Westerplatte" in 1967. Both worth seeing, can be found on YT.

Imagine getting your whole fucking platoon get destroyed by a polish post officer with a LMG single handedly.

This Marines says "Oorah, to all those brave Polish postman!" May they rest in peace.

My Polish grandmother came to America at age 13. She often spoke of the well-known bravery of the Polish soldiers in World War II.

This animation feels more like a real camera-recorded documentary with drone complements.

Finally! :D Thanks Yarnhub, I've been looking up to finally being able to watch this video that you guys have been preparing for the last couple of weeks. I'm sure It'll be spectacular and the quality will be as outstanding as always 😉

Nice job with the animations You came a long way from 2D animations to super detailed 3D animations

Incredible accuracy! Your material is very carefully crafted. As a Pole, I would like to thank you very much for this. 😉

damn yarnhub you've really stepped it up with your animation, nice work!

This is 100% the best animation yet. It gets better and better every video. I love the story too, but what a sad end for such a noble leader.

Dziękuję że poruszyłeś temat obrony poczty Gdańskiej Chwała bohaterom

Thank you for your work.

Never underestimate a postal employee. It's surprising but many post offices in the US used to hold weapons as a federal building until around the 1970s. Retired letter carriers I know used to mention how they were still locked up into the 1980s. If it's true in the US, it would absolutely be the same in Europe. Great job but not surprising for Poles, they were incredibly brave and never backed down in World War 2, despite being frequently outgunned and outmanned.

it was a special case there, bc there was fear of brinkmanship/small scale attacxk or provocation in nazi party ruled Danzig

It’s amazing how fast the production quality on these amazing videos has gone up. I would love to see remakes of some of the old sabaton music videos with these new models and stuff (specifically night witches because I lived that one.) Keep up the great work Yarnhub!

Reminds me of how one of the top snipers in the Korean War was a Chinese farm boy called Zhang Taofang. Never underestimate what unassuming civilians are capable of.

During this German attack on the post office, a 10-year-old girl was killed, who, burnt by a flamethrower, died for 7 weeks in the hospital. She was the daughter of the building caretaker.

Dispicable negligent of the parents to barricade themselves together with the militiamen. Nationalistic brainrot gets so many killed, it's a shame when children too young to understand are forced by their parents

I swear, you could make a movie out of just animation.

this channel is the best history channel what i see thanks!

Instead of mail they're delivering the pain.

Absolute heroes. O7 One of your best videos, these “small” battle -focused videos are amazing

it is crazy how far yarnhub's animation skills have come. they were amazing before but now.. they are deserving as cutscenes in a video game. bravo

THANK YOU YARNHUB. My grandma, as a young child freed multiple soldiers and victims of concentration camps. Please make more videos on Poland, in order so more people could recognize how much the Poles have changed the war. Thank you

this is great thank you for making this video
