The Polish Story

The Polish Story

My name is Edward Reid, and I’ve spent years studying and engaging with Polish history, particularly from the World War II era. Over time, I’ve come to deeply admire the Polish people for their resilience, patriotism, defiance, and unwavering faith during such challenging times. Many in the West know little about Polish history, and some of what is known has been distorted by agendas, while Poles—stuck behind the Iron Curtain—were unable to share and document their true story. In this podcast, I aim to bring forward essential insights into Polish history and share the lesser-known stories that defined this resilient nation. Despite occupation, Poland made significant contributions to World War II and beyond, and these stories deserve to be told.

Unlike others, Poland never officially surrendered, formed a collaborative government, or supported German forces. Instead, the Polish people established a vast underground resistance network, with a 650,000-member a...
