Im not polish but love your country. Can you share about him?
Did Stalin claim he was a british agent?
Witold Pilecki was an absolute hero. The one you could not create in movies or stories. It was the bravery coming from the most profound respect for values. The most terrifying part of his story is that he was executed by Poles. One will say they were commies! Yes they were but the judge was polish as was the prosecutor as was Piotr Śmietański the executioner.
I suggest listening to Sabaton’s inmate 4859
None of us alive today would be worthy of shining his shoes, let alone touching him. And the worst part is that half the jury that sentenced him to death were Jews.
Complaining people don’t know him, not mentioning his name XD
“Starałem się tak żyć, aby w godzinie śmierci mógł się bardziej cieszyć niż lękać”[ Trans: “I tried to live my life in such a way, that in hour of my death I would rather be happy than afraid”]
He was a millitary officer that after fall of poland on behalf of the underground state went into Aushwitz concentration camp, from where he wrote raports. During so he tried to create rebel cell inside but did not succide. Finally after 3 years he escaped, and recontactes with underground state in warsaw, where he parttook in Warsaw uprising. After the war he stayed in country where comunists seen him as threat, so they had him executed. Supposedly his last words were “In comparison to this, Aushwitz was a childs play”, but am not sure of my memmory here.
Pilecki shall forever be remembered as one of the bravest man to walk those lands. He willingly went to hell and as reward he got bullet to the head from those who he saved.
“Hello fellow Polish men” 🤖
Oooo, it’s a guy that Grzegorz Braun is calling a liar
What did he really do? He died and that alone makes him a hero?
He was ordered to go to Auschwitz, and he went. So did Cyrankiewicz. He wrote a report that ultimately changed nothing, because the Allies already knew about the camps and still did nothing. After the war, instead of helping rebuild Poland and Warsaw like everyone else, he joined a right‑wing organization and spied for London. He died willingly because he had a kind of Polish “Jesus Christ syndrome.”
Impact on Poland for the next 50 years: zero.
Impact on the war: zero.
But sure let’s glorify martyrs who charge tanks with swords, as Wajda said
