Keep it up, always nice to see PW anchor in the wild
I wonder if it’ll offend people. It’s after all a very honored symbol, and maybe it shouldn’t be used in unsuitable places. I wouldn’t want it on a trash can for example (no offence, mr skatepark).
It is a symbol commissioned by the polish secret state during WW2. It was designed by Anna Smolenska polish scout girl in 1942.
It was used in so called Small Sabotage actions, to show the Germans that Poland is not yet lost and polish people still resists.
Anna was arrested together with her family and sent to Auschwitz where she died.
If you are interested in the polish Secret State there is a book by Jan Karski who wrote down his war memoirs. How his story did not make a Hollywood blockbuster is beyond my understanding. An absolute chad.
An important symbol of fight and freedom, now overtaken by far-right for political reasons, used to vandalize place in foreign country. Nothing enjoyable here, sorry to disappoint you, my friend.
Wasn’t it declared a hate symbol in England because it was used by vandals and hooligans so much?
Why would we enjoy seeing a symbol of resistance, sacrifice and freedom in a freaking skatepark? Disrespectful af
Home army, heck yea
Polska Walczącą!!!
painted by some brainless nationalist nutjob illiterate who probably cannot speak english at all
cool
from what i know, it has 2 meanings
Polska Walcząca (Fighting Poland) and Wojsko Polskie (Polish Army)
Used by low iq people even not knowing the origin of this symbol.
I’m on the fence on this one leaning towards it should not be painted in vain. Its a bit of a sacred symbol with deep Polish cultural meaning.

If Poland would be in distress then full on.
