Would Poles prefer that Nazi/Germany to stay in power instead of USSR?

hmmm...are you sure about your choice ? Economy was better in Batista's regime. They are still using the same cars in Cuba as they were in Batista's time cause they can't afford better

The poor could not read, write, have access to health care, received orders from the Americans, were a vassal state, horrid infant mortality rate, etc. The economy was better for Batista's cronies, gangsters like Myer Lansky and other sellouts.

Now answer my question. As for constipation or diarrhea, I choose diarrhea. The blockage caused from constipation is worse than the runs caused from diarrhea. If I can opine about two evils, why is it difficult for you to do the same?

Yes my tears are for FREEDOM AND NOTHING LESS GOD BLESSXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Agree with you Aga...FREEDOM.

Neither the Germans or Russians are good for the health and culture of the Polish
people.

during the last major Irish rebellion we had a slogan

we serve neither king nor kasier, but ireland :)

It is the very attitude echoed by many Polish here they would rather die fighting for freedom then to suffer a tyrant that I feel makes the cultures get on that bit better than most.

Bono for eg did alot in the area of Polish Solidarity and Peace in Ireland (raising awareness) IN fact the VERY empire that he grew up, like most irish (indoctrinated) hating was the British, WAS awarded a knighthood TODAY a KBE (Knight Commander of the British Empire! - Thought being an Irish citizen you don't call him sir bono)

ANYWAY - i wouldnt suffer Hitler or Stalin. Id do what i could to be free.

asides from that....interesting thread for provoking response :)

Norman Davies made a good point: Poland is God's Playground.... always between germany and russia...

I bet Braveheart was really Polish........no other man could be so quick to go around killing a bunch guys yelling for freedom :)

and YES I KNOW HIS REAL NAME WAS WILLIAM WALLACE!!! - don't want to be corrected later :)

Good friend of mine once told me a story of his grandfather who was corporal in Hitler’s army in Poland during IIWW. He said: “Nowdays we can take Warsaw again, but what for? Poles will never stop fighting. I saw what they are capable of. I rather go to Russian Front. Why they don’t want to be germanized?

erm yes, the scottish, the irish for example!!! and we did, regularly!

Why don't you guys just answer the question!
Since there is no choice - Germany.

....it's really a stupid question to ask.

It's also hypothetical and up for discussion.

Yeah. I guess if that's something people want to discuss. Doesn't seem like it though.

german beer is much better than russian beer... thats all there is to it...

russian vodka is better than german vodka....

oh oh, this could take a while :)

German food sucks.

aha... well there you have it... its all about degrees of civilisation...

civilised men sit down for a couple of beers... pisz heads get lashed on wodka... is it better to be governed by civilised fellows who enjoy a beer or two or by a bunch of heathen pisz heads...?


have you been to germany fisz?

Yes, a few times. I do like sauerbraten-german meatballs and potato salad though :)

I was just starting some shite :)

You all are too seroius. Yeah...it's good. I wouldn't say lovely though. PL is much better.

mate... kartofle salat from kauhof or wherever is to die for... eat it by the spoonful... oh yeah... :)

I'll have to stop by the local German restaurant to try :)

thats down to individual taste. i would say irish is, but thats because i am 'used' to it :)

i love food in general and i dont attach any stigma to what country its from...less its italian! i have yet to find an italian dish i dont like :)
