History / Poland before WWII or Poland now what would you choose? [390]

IT IS POLISH AGAIN - it has nothing to do with Germany. It has been build by Poles after 1945.

Hey...I never said differently!
It's you who are denying the german past of towns like Danzig and Breslau.
But alone looking at the long lists of the famous sons and daughters of these cities speak a clear language and show everybody what a loser you are!

(Did you ever wonder about the huge list of famous Germans and the relatively small list of polish famous ones in these towns???)
Did we just do more in less time??? :):):)

You renovated them and had the good instinct to rebuild the original german architecture...now they are pearls again...we thank you for that! :)

In my opinion Germany should pay for Poland and should debate with Russians about giving back money they wrongly gave them...

Oh we can talk about that..after you give the land and the towns back I'm sure we will find a compromise! :)
But your idea that you can get both will stay a pathetic joke of yours...:(

Ach Luki...you read what you want, don't you!
Be careful or people aren't going to take you seriously anymore!

/wiki/Danzig#The_inter-war_years.2C_and_World_War_II

...a 1919 census determined that the city's population was 98% German,[16]

Which word from "98 Percent" don't you understand???

Not much polish about Danzig:

Lukasz you are becoming boring! Like a broken record...

It has nothing to do with Germany or Germans.

Well...if you like it or not, Danzig downtown seems to be especially careful renovated in the old hanseatic style which made it once so beautiful!

I wonder why they didn't used "polish" style!

One if not THE most famous and most beautiful city of Poland looks so germanic it's really cute! :)

I'm sure Germans settling down again will feel quite at home there!
Thank you for that...:)

Where are compensations ?

The towns???

Why don't you found a party? Maybe people are now more open for negotiations as in...you give us that and we give you that...you know?

Gdańsk became German by force ... and now is again Polish.

Danzig became Polish by force you wanted to say, don't you?
Oh and there hadn't been forced ethnical cleansing of Poles in Danzig during the centuries of "bad" german rule...
Oh and without the treaty which gave you a country and new unfair borders all these towns would still stand in old glory!
Give the land and the towns back and we can talk about compensation...till then shut up or you will start to sound like the maniac screamer Crow...and you will get the same kind of attention!

You record seems to hang Luki, you repeat yourself again and again....time for another one!

History / Western Europe and America vs Russia WWII - chances of Poland being saved [494]

Interesting....another taboo flies out of the window!

"The suffering of civilians was for many years masked by the over-riding image - that of the French welcoming the liberators with open arms"

Christophe Prime
Historian

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8084210.stm

...
"It was rather a shock to find we were not welcomed ecstatically as liberators by the local people, as we were told we should be... They saw us as bringers of destruction and pain," Mr Roker wrote in his diary.

Another soldier, Ivor Astley of the 43rd Wessex Infantry, described the locals as "sullen and silent... If we expected a welcome, we certainly failed to find it."

...
"The theft and looting of Normandy households and farmsteads by liberating soldiers began on June 6 and never stopped during the entire summer," he writes.

One woman - from the town of Colombieres - is quoted as saying that "the enthusiasm for the liberators is diminishing. They are looting... everything, and going into houses everywhere on the pretext of looking for Germans."

Time for a more realistic Pr.Ryan or BoB???

Downtown has been build by Poles after WWII.

Not in commie style

...With its tall, gabled merchants houses, adorned here and there by ornate decorative flourishes, the district has a distinctly Dutch air about it.
This was indeed one of the great Hanseatic cities, and post-war conservators have done a marvellous job in recreating the splendour of old Gdansk (the claim that it is difficult to tell where new elements fuse with the old is often true)...

Doesn't sound so good so I will pass...and you shouldn't forget russian perestroika. Without Gorbatschow tanks would had rolled again...
East-Berlin wanted them, this time it was Moskau what said "Njet"! So they were busted!:)

Considering the times, it was an unbelievable feat.

The time was right!
Without the softening of the soviet regime and it's dissolution there wouldn't had been revolutions...

Pick up the book by Michener. You will find it interesting and objective.

Did he tell you about the "obedient"-thingy?

One of the major themes of the book delves into the historical relationship between Poles and Germans. You might find it interesting.

Besides blaming Germany for every polish wart??? :)

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

I would say he would had a point if Hitler had stopped at that but hindsight shows clearly he wouldn't had stopped at that and an invasion of Poland and later of Russia was already firmly fixed, so no...it's just an academic thought game!

BB ! Since Alsace was once German territory, and now French.. What is the dominate language now? Do you know?

At the war time it was still german even as it had official been french for some years, that I know.
But today either french or bilingual I think...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alsace#Language

...Although German was inherently spoken in Alsace for most of its history, the dominant language in Alsace today is French.

Germanic tribes called Northern Italians "Walh"

Really? I never heard of that...hard to believe.
What should "Walh" mean?
The first time the germanic tribes had come in contact with "Italy" was with Rome as far as I know.

Hmmm...wiki says:

...Walh (singular) or Walha (plural) is an ancient Germanic word, meaning "foreigner" or "stranger" (Welsh) or "roman", German: welsch.

The word can be found in Old High German walhisk 'Roman', in Old English wilisc 'foreign, non-English, Cymric', in Old Norse as valskr 'French'. Thus it will be derived from an Proto-Germanic form such as *walhiska-. [1]...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walha

The word "Welsch" I know! :)

*Gosh... can't believe that... the Russian advocates the German in the eyes of the American*

Sasha, that's good to know because after I posted that, I wondered how it would be recieved. I thought "uh oh, that was a faux pas I just made".

I can top that:

It seems also most german-americans prefer the rural plains to the big cities...farmers folk mostly..

Better stats and distribution (incl Poles):

census.gov/apsd/cqc/cqc14.pdf

Interesting....most aren't mixed...

...
Most persons reported only
one ancestry group; however, a
substantial segment reported a
mixed background.
Nationally, about
60 percent of the population reported
only one ancestry; another 30
percent also wrote in a second
ancestry. About 10 percent did not
report any ancestry...

Of course, Zimmy knows best! Why don't you complain to the US census bureau?
census.gov

I wonder why they all didn't say "polish" as they were asked...feeling so much more comfy with...

It's interesting. B.B., you'll be happy to know my county is light blue :p

Be careful...after scrappy you are surrounded by Nazis!

It's from the 2000 census which means people who aren't German could have put German anyway which just means they are caucasian.

Then why did they call all the light blue'ers "German" and not "European" or "Caucasian"?

I rather think the term "American" was used for those general europeans or caucasians...
