Last night, fans of the Polish club Legia Warsaw paid hommage to the 160,000 citizens of Warsaw who were murdered during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. This number does not include the 18,000 soldiers who lost their lives in the fighting. The display took place prior to kick-off, during the minute's silence in honour of our heroes.
The city's struggle against the Germans (which was the largest underground operation during the entire war) came at the cost of savage brutality and premeditated murder, which peaked in early August, when 30,000 men, women and children were slaughtered in the district of Wola in a single day. This was the largest single day act of genocide in modern history. Rifle buts were used to save ammunition and the heaps of the dead rose as high as 6ft and as long as 30ft in the numerous squares around the district.
Despite the politically correct narrative of today, it was not the mythical nation of "Nazis", but Germans, plain and simple, who ochestrated and carried out these attrocities.
Football fans around the world are not known for cow-towing to political correctness, and we are no different.
We cherish the memory of our fallen soldiers and citizens, and refuse to keep our mouths shut about the perpetrators of these heinous acts. We are yet to hear an apology, or see a penny in war reparations.
This is how we stake our claim, for the world to see:
