NIL
(GENERAŁ NIL)
dir. Ryszard Bugajski (2009, 125') in Polish with English
subtitles
A
long-awaited movie is out honoring the memory of General August
Emil Fieldorf, one of the most heroic and steadfast fighters
for Poland's independence, mastermind of the Polish underground
army in World War Two, acknowledged worldwide as a Polish
patriot, who fought nobly to defend his country from the Nazis.
General Fieldorf was hanged by communists after the War, after
they absurdly accused him of collaborating with fascists in
a fake trial.
