Anniversary of the birth of John Paul II and ... get Monte Cassino
date:18 May 2013 Editor: Editorial

On the next anniversary of the large victory, we match the 2013 column.
The conflict of Monte Cassino settled on 18 May 1944, beginning the way for the Allies to Rome. besides on May 18, 1920, Karol Wojtyła was born in Wadowice. The Holy Father never forgot Monte Cassino. On the day of his birth, he arrived at the cemetery at the ft of the hill, where red poppies drank Polish blood alternatively of dew, or - erstwhile his wellness did not licence it - prayed fervently with his fellow countrymen, so that God would accept the sacrifice of the lives of the exiles, who valued the lives of Honor and Homeland, placed God first.

Monte Cassino is simply a memory of the Polish armed action - until the loss, to long rows of white crosses on the cemetery at the ft of the monastery mountain. It is besides a renewed, romanticist story of Somosierra and long, night-time compatriots talking in communist times.
Monte Cassino is simply a memory of a tragedy not only understood as death. Many soldiers of the 2nd Polish Corps of General Władysław Anders carried in their pocket a military card with a print without Vilnius and Lviv there is no Poland. For example, those from the 3rd End Infantry Division. due to the fact that they were from there. And they wanted to return, like General Dąbrowski, from Italian land to Poland. Only that in this fresh Poland there was no longer their home or green meadows wide above the blue German stretched. They became wanderers overnight, even though they were told they had won the war. The situation they found themselves in was portrayed in the beautiful Proverbs by poet Jan Lechon. The same man who did not want to live in Poland lied and enslaved by communists, but besides could not live on emigration.
A soldier who left traces of his foot
On all Europe's roads,
He was moving forward erstwhile they couldn't have been the most fierce
And he broke into the peaks from which others fell.
Having gained freedom with another bloody hands
He yet found out he had no land.
And then individual intelligent, not intelligent,
He told him: “I knew all this for a long time.
I knew no 1 would always repay you.
For like blood that flows, by gold that buzzes,
And no 1 always counted the dead,
For what is the angel spirit at Satan's strength?
How sorry I am to yet open your eyes!
And tell me now, was it worth it?”
And the soldier was silent for a while, and he saw right now.
All those who returned and did not return;
All those who were lying in a abroad grave,
What they said “We will return” without reasoning about ourselves.
And he sees any riders in chicken knuckles,
And he hears the sound of a mazurka and a crowd cry.
Dąbrowski from Italian land returns to Warsaw.
“Is it worth it?” ... He replied, “Oh, comic question..!”
Before that, however, there was a song about red poppies. It was written by Felix Konarski “Ref-Ren” on the night of 17-18 May 1944, during a decisive assault on the monastery. He was a 2nd Corps soldier, worked at the Polish Soldier Theatre. The music was written by his friend, besides a 2nd Corps soldier, Alfred Schütz "Al Suito".
One verse of the song, which mentions the owlans of Rokitna, was reworked and censored during the PRL period. The Communists reluctantly agreed to publications on any tradition of independency battles with Russia during planet War I, even if they afraid the period before the 1917 Revolution. In addition, the Rokitniańskis were in the interwar period a choice unit of the Polish Army (2nd Rokitniański Szwolezer Regiment), stationed until the outbreak of the War in Starogard, Pomerania. Who else remembers them? For Felix Konarski, the protagonists from Monte Cassino were just Polish - charging under Somosierra during the Napoleonic period and under Rokitna on the Russian front in 1915.
Losers ran through the fire!
Some of them got hit and died.
Like the Somosierra madmen!
Like the Rokitnys of years ago!
They've gone crazy.
And they came... and stormed!
And the flag is white - red
They're stuck in the rubble, among the clouds!
