How I Unleashed World War II (Polish: Jak rozpętałem drugą wojnę światową) is a 1970 Polish comedy film directed by Tadeusz Chmielewski and based on the novel "Przygody kanoniera Dolasa" (The Adventures of Dolas the Cannoneer) by Kazimierz Sławiński (pl), a Polish war pilot who survived a German POW camp. It was shot in Sochi, Baku, Poświętne and Łódź, among other places.

The film tells the story of a Polish soldier Franciszek (Franek) Dolas (I'd like to call him Frank Dulles lol), who—as a result of comical coincidences—is convinced that he started the Second World War. Trying to redeem himself at all costs, he constantly gets into new trouble. In doing so, he finds himself on different war fronts (Yugoslavia, Mediterranean Sea, Middle East, Italy) and eventually returns to Poland.

Some notes

And yes, this is where the meme of ‘Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz’ appears from. Needless to say, I can’t spoil his address. Also, expect to see Polish actors playing foreigners speaking different languages.

With some subshifter and some good quality videos? on cda.pl, using the Polish name of the movie, I finally stitched this up

I totally could’ve used a hardcoded english sub version for this, but that was like 360p at best.

Also I think we have 14 minutes of non-film space, the rest of the 3 hours and 45 minutes is filled in by this film, so uh, we're rationing some non-movie time
