OrzelRosyth

Polish Air Force Day - Saturday 11th May We are proud to announce a special event in partnership with @BofBBunker & @FlightPolish As well as fascinating Speakers, we will be announcing some very special guests & exhibitors over the coming weeks Book at battleofbritainbunker.co.uk/whats-on/

@DrFrancisYoung We’re really trying to highlight this and perhaps once the Orzeł memorial at Rosyth is constructed it’ll get more recognition. youtu.be/XkSXt-yrBXk #Polska #Scotland #Orzeł #ww2

An opportunity to remember with gratitude that the Polish Navy evaded capture in September 1939 and sailed into the Firth of Forth, coming to Britain’s aid in the fight against fascism. But how many British people know this today?

@defendfife @Babcockplc @welcometofife Almost certainly Port Edgar with that view of the bridge.

Is it Crombie Pier or maybe Rosyth Dockyard? @Babcockplc @OrzelRosyth @welcometofife

Today we commemorate an important date in Poland’s maritime history. On 14 October 1939, the Polish Submarine ORZEL finished its 44-day escape from occupied Poland arriving safely at Rosyth. @PLinEdinburgh @welcometofife @forthpilgrim @defendfife @orzelrosyth

Defend Fife 2023 this Sunday. Gates open 10am @PLinEdinburgh @OrzelRosyth @welcometofife

A very harrowing movie, showing the dangerous job of the Polish submariners of #ww2.

On my way to Edinburgh to see Ostatni Patrol, the film about the Polish Orzeł submarine, and passing all these places that the Orzeł’s crew would have known back in 1940. The Forth Bridge, Rosyth Dockyard.

Can’t wait to see this! Orzeł. Ostatni Patrol. #film #movie #ww2

It’s the Lathalmond Wartime Defend Fife event very soon! #history #ww1 #ww2 #reenactment #festival

In 1946, under pressure from Stalin, the British Labour government did not invite the Polish Armed Forces, who fought with the Allies, to the Victory Parade in London. The Parade took place #OTD in 1946 to celebrate the victory over Germany during WW2. More than 200,000 soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces in the West had fought under British High Command, and Polish pilots were vital in the Battle of Britain. None of them marched in the Parade. It took 60 long years for Poles to join the Victory Parade. Read more: britishpoles.uk/polish-armed-f…

@SilenceInPolish Polish paratroopers remembered here in Fife and we’ll have an Orzeł memorial in Rosyth soon.

I'm standing here, pleading that the presence of foreign troops in the UK, throughout the entire blimming war, was a noticeable feature of wartime Britain and is not a niche concern.

We are progressing with the preparations for the construction of #ORPOrzel & #HMSValorous twin memorial at 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Rosyth. Grateful to @digiflec for the digital scan survey of the proposed site for the memorial! 🎬🎥📽️Learn the incredible story of #ORPOrzeł youtu.be/bGXPeYLyw2w

A new true-war story from Colin Maxwell, writer of Flight of the Eagle, the story of the Orzeł submarine.

Saw the new film Ostatni Patrol in @gdynia Really very well done! @PLinEdinburgh @OrzelRosyth @defendfife @ipngovpl With @MaximizedComics we commemorated the 80th anniversary of the last patrol of ORP Orzel with this beach-art. youtu.be/XkSXt-yrBXk

@Newbattleatwar It was last weekend.

@OrzelRosyth Excellent, when is it?

Had the great pleasure of an invite to see this documentary film about the Orzeł and the trailer for Ostatni Patrol. #Polska #Scotland

We are delighted to be able to tell the story of the 🇵🇱 submarine #ORPOrzeł. Winston Churchill called Orzeł's escape from Estonia & the Baltic sea to Scotland "the greatest adventure story to come out of the war". Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Coming soon! The last patrol of the Orzeł. ORZEŁ. OSTATNI PATROL - oficjalny zwiastun youtu.be/cTqyL-yRY6E via @YouTube
