Description: | A collection of photographs illustrating many aspects of Poland's history during this century, military, political, social and economic. Many of the photographs seem to have been used in an exhibition in Poland in 1968 on 50 years of Polish history since the end of the First World War.
The exhibition was mounted by the Polish Communist Party in an attempt to show how Poland had rid itself of Russian, German and Austrian authority during the First World War; to show many internal problems during the interwar period; and what was the Polish experience of the Second World War. This includes photographs of outbreak of the war, the Polish Armed Forces in the West and in the East, Holocaust, Resistance; rebuilding the country after the war.
All captions contain very heavy pro-communist propaganda (all in Polish). | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Sikorski Polish Armed Forces 1919-1939 Józef Klemens 1939-1945 Piłsudski Polish Armed Forces 1914-1918 Polish Armed Forces in the West Poland 1945-1956 Polish Army Tadeusz Apolinary Polish Armed Forces in the East Polish Navy British Army Poland 1939-1945 Poland 1919-1939 Gomułka Polish Wars of Independence 1918-1921 1st Armoured Division Brooke Red Army Polish Air Force Allies at War Poland 1914-1918 Władysław Polish Armed Forces 1945-1989 Polish Armed Forces 1939-1945 1st Army Świrski Alan Francis Poland 1956-1970 Jerzy Klimecki | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Polish Official Photographer | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
