Virtual Tour of the Polish Army Museum

On my recent trip to Warsaw, I spent some time filming guns in the collection of the Polish Army Museum. In an effort to create something of a library of museum tours, I made sure to take some time to film a short virtual tour of the exhibits for you - note that I did this after the museum had closed, so there is nobody else in the halls.
Also note that the museum is in the process of slowly moving to a new location, so some of their exhibits are not on display (notably material form the 19th century). They do still have a full Winger Hussar on his mount, though! Outside the main building is a vehicle park with a very cool assortment of armor and aircraft, but the inclement weather prevented me from filming that (sorry).
If you find yourself in Warsaw, it is definitely worth stopping in to see the museum.I found the sections on Polish underground manufacturing and the Warsaw Uprising particularly unique. This museum may not have the popular awareness of the dedicated Warsaw Uprising Museum, but it has artifacts that are every bit as good (if not better, but you didn't hear me say that...). You can find the Museum's web site here, in both Polish and English:

Plus such a shame you can't film the outside, as there's a line up of Soviet vehicles outside of the building. Too bad you didn't film up to the ceiling when you're in the WWII exhibition room, as there's a series of Polish standards.

    Leopard 1 is my favourite one since kindergarten. Funny story: second time I was visiting this tank, I witnessed how police was struggling to remove old homeless drunken guy from the inside. It was mid 2000's, and as I was teen then it was pretty entertaining to see! One police guy was getting really annoyed after over an hour of bargaining with hobo and screamed he will throw stun grenade inside for all he cares. That argument seemingly was enough for the drunkard to surrender finally. Whole ordeal was possible, because Poland was really, REALLY peacefull country back then and most of those tanks were open and from what I gather, this one Leo had every hatch bars still intact and able to button-down, minus breech of the gun, soldered in place open, hence the flashbang threat... This museum brings so much memories... I still have physical photo album and 35mm reels of every tank and plane and artillery piece outside, I was crazy for such staff back then.

    There was nothing heroic, other then individual actions, about the Warsaw uprising. It was a despicable betrayal by the exiled government of polish people. They had reports from AK, that it would fail and cause mass casualties. The goal of establishing control of Poland by AK before the advansing Soviet Union sets up temporary administrative structures was impossible. The western allies were nowhere near, the US weapon drops only marginal effectiveness, most going to benefit Germans, and not coordinating with Stalin simply ment that any Polish people that claimed authority was hostile to every entity in their immediate area.

    The WW1 exhibit should be particularly interesting, since at the time Poles would fight basically everywhere on behalf of other nations, since the country did not exist at the time, regaining independence in 1918. When the soldiers came back to the newly re-formed Poland, they often brought in their equipment with them as well, hence the Polish armory was a total mess during the inter-war period.

    @@iatsd In my youth in the times of communism in Poland, there were jokes about: a Pole, a Russian and a German. Where ever the Russian was an idiot. There was also a lot about the communist Militia. I think that the genesis of jokes about Poles in the USA is Jewish emigration from Poland. In Poland, many of them did not have a comfortable life. During the partitions, many Jews collaborated with the occupiers, and the same was true with the Jews in the communist security services and the judiciary. Stanoli 70% of the communist security apparatus. They were brutal towards the opposition and the anti-communist movement in the 1940s and 1950s in Poland. I think these jokes are a way of reacting by Jewish emigration from Poland to the USA. A form of resentment. The same happened with Poles who joked about Jews in a not very sophisticated way.

Poland didn't really have a lot of semi auto rifles before the WW2, so I think that besides the wz. 38M, this conversion is the only other existing type.
