Miracle on the Vistula: How Poland pushed back socialism 100 years ago

Published August 15, 2020 3:53am ET



This Saturday marks the 100th anniversary of the historic Battle of Warsaw, in which Poland miraculously defeated Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks and prevented the spread of communism to all of Europe. The Poles were helped by the heroic and inspirational help of American volunteer fighter pilots led by Hollywood’s greatest hero. They were in Poland to repay America’s Revolutionary War debt to Polish heroes who came to America’s aid in its War for Independence.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will represent the Trump administration and speak at the Historic Commemoration Services for the Centennial Anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw.
