For the first time in the history of XXI century reenactment the marching winged hussars were accompanied by reconstructed mounted tympanist and trumpeters. Alex Jarmula was reenacting hetman's ensign (as shown in the famous Altomonte's painting showing battle of Vienna 1683)
During this parade Polish reenactors also portrayed horse archers - Polish Tatars -and pancerni medium cavalry of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth period.
During the parade the two types of infantry of the same period were beautifully reenacted, I especially loved the Polish style infantry.
Valete!

ReplyDelete''The Truth about Poland and the Holocaust
by Alberto Gómez Trujillo
In May 2012, during the imposition of a posthumous decoration on the hero of the Polish resistance Jan Karski, President Barack Hussein Obama used the unfortunate expression “Polish death camps” to refer to the extermination camps built and run by the Germans in the Polish territory occupied during the Second World War.
In recent years in the news, in the written press, even in supposedly specialized magazines, this misleading term has been used which is deeply insulting to the Poles, as it can lead to misinterpretations such it were the Poles the ones that built the extermination camps, or that Polish institutions collaborated actively in the holocaust. What is absolutely false, since during the period in which the holocaust took place, all the polish territory was occupied and administered by the Germans.
For this reason recently, the Polish Parliament approved a controversial law, possibly awkward and even inopportune, that even provides penalties for those who claim that the Polish State, as such, took an active part in the extermination of the Jews during the Second World War.''
