In the first days of the war, Captain Władysław Raginis commanded a defense operation on the outskirts of the small Polish town Wizna. He and his unit of 720 Polish soldiers faced the impossible task of stopping a vastly superior German force: 42,000 men, 450 tanks, 108 150mm howitzers and 58 lighter guns. On the 4th day of the battle the defenders were running out of ammunition. The Poles had no other option but to surrender. The event that went down in history as the Polish Thermopylae would become a remarkable act of heroism and courage of the Polish troops when they fought odds of more than 40:1.

It's great to be able to see the video in Spanish (My native language) but I have a question. Obviously the Spanish track sounds very similar to your voice. Did you use an AI or do you really know how to speak Spanish?

So silent before the storm Awaiting command A few has been chosen to stand. As one out numbered by far.
The fact that “The polish thermapylae” is a name that has been given to _several_ battles in polish history, really says a lot about their bravery
Check out Battle of Hodów where 98 Winged Hussars and 300 Pancerni defended a village and forced to retreat estimated 40-70k Tatars
Sorry... Can't hear you. Too busy annexing Poland again.
What does that word mean?
My great grandpa was an engineer in the home army and later a mid ranking officer in the red army, he was really nice I wish you could've met him
Also, yarnhub I thought u were supposed to be family friendlyish. At 4 30, although it's accurate, my guy says kurwa
The fact that he included references to memes like piwo or bober is fucking amazing
4:30 the beaver was just chilling
BOBER!!
BOBER KURWA
Bober 🤣🦫

BOBER :D
Finally an animated story to sabatons 40 to 1
Frrrrr also can e all just appreciate the insane improvement from their first videos to now
Sabaton and Yarnhub have done a few collaborations, though I don't think this is an intentional one. I think the first one I saw was the one about the "Night Witches", and then "Attack of the Dead Men", both have done things about the Christmas Truce, but I don't know if there was an actual collaboration there. I love how on Sabaton's channel, fans made comments on the Christmas Truce song saying things like "Finally, a song to replace Mariah Carey with at Christmas time". I think I might request it from my local station next year.
They also did one for no bullets fly, great song and story behind it
It won't take long before someone puts the song to the video if it hasn't already been done.
8:20 "what is the password?" "like and subscribe!" "they are ours!" LOL
I knew that was what it would be.
I appreciate the creativity and effort put into making the "like & subscribe" funny or incorporating it into the story.
Apparently Polish ww2 soldiers also watched Yarnhub 😂
I laughed at that too, and the earlier part where that poor beaver never knew how close it came to being turned to mincemeat by that giant anti-tank bullet.
eso fue epico
Is it just me, or did anyone else get chills at 11:59 when he said fix bayonets?
Fucking badasss
Yes it was badass
Badass AF
Yep. I watched that entire scene from 11:30 to last multiple times
it was memorable for sure. Classic
Props to the Polish and German voice actors! A great story.
I clicked on this and was like wait a damn minute... Why is this German?! Did I miss something? I'm confused...
As a Pole, this dubbing feel a little off
@Wikarian99PL yeah the lipsyncing is still the area they need to improve the most, but it's hard.
@@oliverhughes610 The problem is with words. While they sound polish they are a bit unnatural. The biggest mistake is "proszę pana". It is used when you adress your teacher, superior at work or a man you are not familiar with or not really close. In case of army you would use a bit different words with ranks like: panie kapitanie (capitan), panie poruczniku (lieutenant) and so on. Also some phrases are without any sense like "osłona przeciwogniowa" (anti-fire cover?). Still I like pronunciation. You could point some minior differences from an actual Polish but still it's on really high level. It's pretty impressive when you consider how hard Polish is for non-Slavs. Actually despite some flaws they did really good job.
@@lukasz.adamski I see! Thank you for the information!

As a pole who knows the story well, your video brought a whole new level of emotions, especially when you are able to hear the battle noises and the orders in polish …
their animations are insane and only getting better every video, i can only imagine what they'll look like in a year from now
And even przekleństwa that are essential in armies..
As a Russian, I can also understand half of the speech. Some kind of Slavic magic.
@@user-pf3kv4bv5s польский в принципе довольно дружелюбный язык. Жил там 5 лет. Действительно есть какая-то славянская общность у нас.
The splash of engines?????? I'm out. waiting for TFE's version.
As a pole, I want to thank you. There isn't a lot of people who want to tell our story to wider public. You are doing better job than most filmakers in Poland.
On vous aimes les amis ❤️🔥🇫🇷🤝🇵🇱❤️🔥
"Spirit of Spartans, Death and Glory! Soldiers of Poland, Second to none!" The work you and Sabaton do to recount these stories that might've otherwise been lost with time is incredible, love the work, thank you for this job y'all are doing ❤
During the fight, a German parliamentarian appeared at the Polish bunker and gave Raginis an ultimatum that either the bunker would surrender or the Polish prisoners taken during the battle would be shot. Given the fact that most of the defenders were injured to varying degrees and ammunition was running low, after an hour of reflection, Raginis ordered his soldiers to leave the shelter
To add on: the commander swore to leave the battlefield victorious or dead and that's why he blew himself up. RIP to those lost 🙏
@@dequaunroberts quelle bravoure...
When Raginis give an order to his soldiers to leave the bunker and surrender he was heavily wounded.
Piwo and bober, you think i would miss that? Haha Great animation as always!
yes, love that detail ^^
nice pfp
On the positive side, this is the most amazing reference I've ever seen. On the negative side, now I have to go listen to the Kurwa Bobr song 1,000 times.
@@ediodimacaroni many thanks lad, yours is very creative!
bober kurka 4:34
Bruh if the shell hit the beaver though 💀
The giant rifle is called "Ur" it was held in such secret that most of solders didn't even know that it existed in the chests named: "delicate optical gear" and only found out about them when they gave up. Rifle info: It used an lead bullet to press a lot of energy to the wall of the tank. Not really penetrating it, as it was making the inside of the tank erupt in tiny red hot pieces of metal. The barrel was needed to be swapped every 300shots and it was one of the first anti-armor guns to be used like sniper rifles by their owners
*Wow this Battlefield V DLC looks very promising*
Huh
Frfr
This is not battlefield bud lol
That's the joke. It's really good animation @@LT.GEN.VesperVonViper
@@Wedontloveemhoeshe's basically saying that yarnhub's animation has gotten really good. Like the type of stuff that you'd expect a company with as much money as EA to produce
The animation getting improved and now the voice acting by getting the native speaker to voice each Respective language, kudos boys
i mean polish dubbing is not perfect but mostly is doing its job
Good job Yarnhub as usual. We rarely talk about the Polish resistance at the beginning of the War. They fought bravely but getting attacked by two powers at once was just too much. They deserved to be remembered.
CHWAŁA BOHATEROM 🇵🇱
I would love it if Yarnhub did a video on the Monchy 9 of Newfoundland. 9 men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment positioned at Monchy-le-Preux during the Battle of Arras in 1917 hid behind shrubbery and defended the town from a German force anywhere from 200 - 300 men strong for 11 hours to prevent a German break through. I think it is a very cool and very underrated battle that sounds like the plot of a movie.
Newfoundland lost so many men in WWI they were left without an option to join Canada in confederation
The Monchy 9 is just one of the reasons George V bestowed the "Royal" moniker to the Regiment
@@shamushewitt9252 Yes, there were many reasons.
@@Whatisthisstupidfinghandle That wasn’t until 1949, after WWII. The loss of so many men in WWI was part of it but the main reason was the government was broke and bankrupt after WWI. The other reason was that the quality of life in the “outports” was bad and they wanted the benefits the Canadian Government would supply. This is a vast oversimplification of Newfoundland Confederation and I recommend you do your own research, but I hope I at least gave a good enough jump off point for you into the subject.
You might conquer Poland, but you will never defeat them. They'll fight until the bitter end and even then they won't quit. Speaking of which, I'd love it if you did the story of ORP Poirun, the Polish Naval destroyer that attacked none other than the King of the Sea himself, the KMS Bismarck. Poirun's guns barely did any damage to the German Dreadnought but they were too fast for Bismarck's massive guns to train upon as she sailed circles around Bismarck as they drew Bismarck's fire while the Royal Navy task force closed in to sink him, Poirun's guns blazing and her radio transmitting a single repeating message to Bismarck -- "I am a Pole" in an exemplary act of Polish defiance. They only disengaged when they were low on fuel and out of ammunition.
As an American who likes naval history, this has been one of my favorite stories. The defiance and ferocity with which they faced overwhelming evil is sadly lacking in our day and age.
Thank you friend, for the recognition of our fallen brothers! For anyone interested en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORP_Piorun_(G65)
*Piorun
Poland has a good experience of being under someone else's rule. They didn't and don't want it to happen again.
4:30 bro was just chilling
BOBER KURWA :D
“Can we go now?” “No” “You and what army will fight them?” “Idk”

Good thing he watched the movie before going to war
@@cheeseontoastbrahTrue
Poland has some of the bravest men in the world
It's the little details like the soldier's picture of his sweetheart falling to the bottom of the trench that makes this channel so good. Brilliant stuff again guys!👍😎 Thanks
12:01 "Przymocujcie bagnety" is the wrong command. The right one is "Bagnet na broń."
w ogóle to całe tłumaczenie jest mega pokraczne. Ale liczy się przekaz, co nie. Dobrze, że sam film się pojawił.
@@mv_slender owszem. Ale w przyszłości może poprawią

Amazing to finally see this animated and told from you guys! Really is the modern day version of Leonidas and his Spartans.
absolutely amazing animation! I love hearing stories about the bravery of the poles, and because of their bravery poland was not lost! thank you yarnhub for sharing these stories and congrats on one million subscribers. You are the best history channel on all of youtube, thank you!
This video has my favorite detail included out of about all your videos, the man's hands shaking before blowing the bridge. Just a great human moment. Otherwise chaps, great video as always, love this iteration of your animation style, jokes, and storytelling ability.
The bravery of the Polish people is something the world doesn't give enough credit. Eternal respect from Hungary!
I have seen many fantastic changes to this channel, I originally didn't feel comfortable with the voice acting because I was so used to the narration type of content of yarnhub, but today and onwards it felt right up there to truly immersive story telling, good work.
as a polish A THANK YOU for this amazing content. Please continue making these amazing animations ( especially the polish one lol ;) ) Please make more about Poland. THANK YOU.
Cześć i chwała Bohaterom! 🇵🇱 Thanks for this video
I'm from Poland and I think that this animations is just PERFECT!

Your Cpt. Raginis wears wz. 1919 army officer cap, while at the time it was already phased out by wz. 35 four-pointed cap. So he wore either wz. 35 cap or round wz. 36 cap issued to Border Protection Corps, as he commanded one of fortress units of said Corps since March of '39, not mentioning that in battle conditions he would have worn wz. 31 helmet anyway.
He keeps gettin better
Great video keep it up man!
