Hitler made those demands because he didn't want Poland to become a superpower and he was trying to sabotage it!
Dear Barbara, when will the revisionist historians give up on trying to reinvent historical fact?!
Fact: Hitler wanted to level Poland and Russia, and then inhabit those conquered lands with Germans = Germania.
Fact: Poland did not start the second world war, nor did Russia.
Opine: Has the world gone so ignorant that no one can read and use analytics, specifically the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of '39?!?! Suddenly, we should go back to believing Goebbels' propaganda about 4 Polish soldiers taking over a NAZI broadcasting station?!
Conjecture: I know some people here actually believe that [opine] story.
Opine: I have always found the Russians/Soviets blame everyone else (i.e., Katyń), so I am not surprised to hear this; my only surprise is that it is in 2009 and not 1979. 80+ years of oppression in Russia, and those people cling to what they know, and perhaps want.
If Russia wants to clear its tablets of history, why not admit to the Lenin/Stalin purges? 55+ million of your own people, Russia, and you still choose to ignore it. What next, America was responsible for the Kursk "mishap"? England was responsible for Chernobyl?
Want/Wish/Will: Sometimes I wish an "Uncle Joe" would come back and clean house in modern Russia.
