Pretty much everything about the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and especially this scene, which is described in the history book “Ghost Empire”:
>At sunset, as the shadows lengthened across the city, people came out of their homes spontaneously, and converged on the Hagia Sophia for vespers. The church, darkened for nearly five months, was again ablaze with golden light. Old hatreds were put aside as Orthodox and Catholic bishops sang liturgy together. Constantine arrived late for the service, entering the narthex through the Imperial Gate. Trembling with emotion, he took the holy sacrament, fell to his knees and begged God for forgiveness for his sins. The emperor then drew himself up, bowed respectfully to everyone present, and strode out of the church. As he departed, a terrible cry of anguish went up from the congregation.
This occurred on the very night before the city fell.
Well, compared to other Polish geopolitical decisions, it wasn't as bad. They just became a satellite state of Russia for another Half a century, whereas the Reich was aiming to eliminate it entirely and repopulate it with the Germs.
Don't forget what has lead up to it. Typical Polish foreign policy autism: as they more or less single-handedly destroyed any chances of an early anti-German coalition.

No empire ever got a better send off.
As a turk i give the respect to the last push they gave against us in a totally hopeless situation.
BTW, do someone has the story about the last fight of Constantine with the ottoman soldiers and that he was betrayed after that? Or something like that.. It was a good pasta.
>start the fighting in anticipation of soviets coming to help out
>they just stand there waiting for you to get killed so that you can't start a legitimate polish government

They didn't deserve this.
> christfags getting what they deserve is bad
Serves them right for bastardising the best empire that ever existed
I love how passive-aggressive it is
I always feel so bad for Constantine. Maybe it's biased, but he seems like a good man who'd been put in an irreparable situation.
>massively contribute
>least Poles who got to the west had a chance for future there
Brits literally deported polish soldiers to soviet lands under pretense of them threatening the economy and they did that right after claiming polish bank deposits in uk
Such is the fate of schismatics.
>>hated by wehraboos for declaring war
90% of Wehraboos don't even know Chamberlain was still PM when the war started
