Millenium Parade in Warsaw (1966) - celebrating Poland's thousand years.

It's a catchy tune...

Also seeing WWI and WWII Polish Uniforms kicks ass.

Thanks.

Poland. The nation that takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Wasn't this the era when the Polish Eagle was banned?

Polish Eagle was not banned but the authorities of the Polish People Republic removed crown from the eagle’s head.
Eventually after the fall of communism in Poland the Third Republic of Poland’s government brought the crown back.

ah, I knew there was something like that...

Hey great stuff. I spent time in Warsaw and in other places in Poland in July 1965, for business, by invitation.

These scenes look to be adjacent to where I stayed in The Europeski. The Bristol hotel was also going strong.

The Poles had already whipped Stalin off his towering pedestal. You can't keep these guys down; Hitler had Warsaw razed to the ground, with orders that it should be impossible for it ever to exist again. They raised it up again in quick time, largely by hand in the early stages. Ah, I remember it well, Business, Vodka, business, Vodka, business Vodka. Comma here, more vodka. Business, chest starting to burn, Vodka. Hmmmm. Cheers Poland, Stolat! We have lots of Poles here now- very welcome too!
