Ahead of their first home game of the season on Saturday evening, Polonia Warszawa supporters unveiled a fantastic banner to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the heroic Warsaw uprising by the Polish resistance AK (Armia Krajowa/Home Army) against the occupying German Nazis, an ultimately doomed attempt to reclaim control of their capital city ahead of the advancing Soviet Red army.
This is an annual event as can be seen from the pictures of past displays, and rather gives the lie to the travesty of journalism which was the Panorama "Stadiums of Hate" documentary shown ahead of Euro 2012 with the intention of inspiring a moral panic in the UK about the nature of Polish football supporters.
