Beginning of the Third Silesian Uprising 2 May 1921
The Third Silesian Uprising started on the night of second to third of May 1921. This area was contested between Germany and the newly created state of Poland. A plebiscite had shown a German majority. The Polish side later claimed that it was only interested in those lands where it believed there was a Polish speaking majority although documents presented at Versailles show a different story. The plan for the Third Uprising was to infiltrate and destroy rail bridges and then organise an uprising. In the photograph we can see a derailed train at Kędzierzyn-Koźle. The Polish insurgents also managed to destroy bridges at Szczepanowice, Kluczbork, Głogówek and Świętochłowice.
Two German military rail transports were also destroyed. After the operation, most of the Polish agents managed to withdraw over the border to Sosnowiec. On 18 June 1921 the Official Gazette of the Opole Distric announced a reward of 10,000 Reichsmarks for information about the perpetrators of the attacks

YouTube has introduced a feature called #Shorts which is clearly designed to compete with TikTok. If you are watching on a mobile you will see #Shorts come up but not if you are watching on a computer. I don't think that this is what my audience wants to see, but on the off chance that it might be, I am going to give it a try by doing previews of videos that will come up in the future.
#Shorts are in portrait mode and under 60 seconds.
