In Popular Culture
Battle of Wizna is the theme of one of the songs on the The Art of War album by the Swedish Metal band Sabaton, entitled "40:1", for an estimated ratio of forces on both sides of battle (in fact, with 42,200 Germans and 720 Poles, it is 58:1). However the title along with the lyrics of the song makes it clear that it compares the Polish forces with that of the legendary 300 spartan warriors at the battle of Thermopylae.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“If our entertainment culture seems debased and unsatisfying, the hope is that our children will create something of greater worth. But it is as if we expect them to create out of nothing, like God, for the encouragement of creativity is in the popular mind, opposed to instruction. There is little sense that creativity must grow out of tradition, even when it is critical of that tradition, and children are scarcely being given the materials on which their creativity could work”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Like every other good thing in this world, leisure and culture have to be paid for. Fortunately, however, it is not the leisured and the cultured who have to pay.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
