Can’t wait for the rise of the Polish-Scottish Commonwealth

Fun fact in one of Tomasik's hotel bars as bartender works one old man , This old man in the past was general of the first polish armour brigade where Tomasik served.

As a Scot, thanks for the cool map Mr.Tomasik

This was, in fact, an awesome map.

The second I saw the notification, I knew I'm going to love this video. Great map choice! And you nailed the pronunciation of Jan Tomasik. 😀 While in Edinburgh, you could potentially stumble upon the commemorative bench with a statue of the commanding officer of Jan Tomasik - gen. Stanisław Maczek, who lived in the city after the war. He also worked as a bartender there, until very old age, because he was denied any retirement benefits by both the British government and the communist regime in Poland, which stripped him of citizenship. Thankfully the Dutch eventually learned about his difficult situation and stepped in to help, as the Polish 1st Armoured Division is fondly remembered in the Netherlands, especially in Breda.

Going into this video, I was thinking that this was going to be about those WWII maps of Britain where city names were transliterated phonetically into Polish so that Polish soldiers could pronounce the cities as close as possible to their actual names.

Great video! This map is a perfect example of a quote attributed to Napoleon: "Leave it to the Poles. There's nothing impossible for them.", which he supposedly said after the victory of the polish cavalry in the battle of Somosierra during the Peninsular War.

As a Scot, I thank Mr Tomasik profusely as he brought his skill and craftsmanship into our country. Long live the polish Scottish relationship 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤🇵🇱

I didn't know about this map! I find this an excellent way to start the series: a Polish veteran in Scotland making a big map of Scotland for a hotel. Jan Tomasik must have loved his adopted country so much, if he spent all this time making a large map of it. Thanks for the video! I'm looking forward to seeing the next episode!

GREAT SCOT!

Man the Poles really loved it here, Polish 1st and 2nd armoured regiments used to train near where I grew up, Żagań gifted the local town an awesome statue of Wojtek the bear.

6:35 is that a Scotland for ants?

Horrible Maps was funny. Awesome Maps is so much better.

Wow, I'm a Pole who grew-up till lives in Scotland.

I'd love to hear you butcher Polish names! You should upload a second version of the video where you try to pronounce them.

This video was much funner to watch than the last few horrible map videos. It's all this time spent on one map, going into detail about its history and what makes it unique. One of my favorite quotes about anything creative: "Art gets so much better when it's made from a place of appreciation"

I have no idea how its happening but allways when there is history about Scotts and Poles doing something together they get along extremly well in both. Like you can still see obelisk in Belgium that was placed as sign of Polish-Scott friendship as they fought there together. Its the think in ficion also, in last part of last book of one polish noblist book trilogy which is (considered Polish National Epic) Polish and Scottish officers Wołodyjowski and Ketling sacrifice themselves together.

I was excited to see this video in my feed - had been looking forward to the new series since you mentioned the idea of doing it!

Great episode for this new series
