The Blyskawica (Lightning) was a 9mm easy to use Sub machine gun. Designed in 1943 for the Polish Home Army/Resistance simple in design and easy to build.
Rate-of-fire 550 to 650rpm used a 32 round box magazine. 700 hundred were built.
The resistance fighter is identified by the white/red arm band on his civilian coat,he's wearing a Germam M43 field cap.

Instead of standing idly by you could have supplied the Jewish Resistance with a few during the Ghetto Uprising.

Stupid comment of someone who knows nothing about that time, facts and reality. Read more, (i.e. about Warsaw uprising 1944) maybe you will understand.
