ORP Orzeł Submarine (1:300 Scale) – COBI #4855

The ORP Orzeł is more than just a naval model; it is a tribute to one of the most daring maritime escapes in history. This high-quality brick-building set allows you to recreate the legendary Polish submarine that defied the odds during the early days of World War II.

A Legacy of Defiance: The History of ORP Orzeł

The ORP Orzeł (Eagle) was the lead ship of her class and a pride of the Polish Navy. In September 1939, following the invasion of Poland, the submarine was illegally interned in Tallinn, Estonia. In a breathtaking act of bravery, the crew reclaimed their vessel, escaped the harbor under fire—without maps and with confiscated navigation equipment—and successfully navigated the treacherous Baltic Sea to reach Great Britain.

The Orzeł became a symbol of Polish resistance, patrolling the North Sea and famously sinking the German transport ship Rio de Janeiro during the invasion of Norway. This 1:300 scale model honors the craftsmanship of the original Dutch-built vessel and the spirit of the sailors who manned her.
