I meant that some Poles would still like to expand and take back parts of Ukraine and Lithuania.

Before WWII I would chose pre-war Poland, today I would chose post-war Poland.

In late 1943, the actions of Soviet partisans, who were ordered to liquidate the AK forces

Even then, the main forces of the Red Army and the NKVD conducted operations against the AK partisans, including during or directly after the Polish Operation Tempest, which was designed by the Poles to be a joint Polish-Soviet action against the retreating Germans and to establish Polish claims to those territories. AK helped Soviet units with scouting or organizing uprisings and helping to liberate various cities (ex. Operation Ostra Brama, Lwów Uprising), only to find that immediately afterwards AK troops were arrested, imprisoned - or even executed. Unknown to the Poles, Stalin's aim to ensure that an independent Poland would never reemerge in the postwar period made the Operation Tempest idea fatally flawed from the beginning.

Soviet forces continued to engage the elements of AK long after the war. Many AK soldiers continued fight after World War II in anti-Soviet Polish underground, known as the cursed soldiers.

Poland lost 38% of it's national assets, as compared to Britain which lost 0.8% and France which lost 1.5%.

After World War II, the population increased more than twofold and industry developed significantly. The University itself was founded by Polish professors of the University of Wilno, who were forced to abandon their native city and move to post-1945 Poland.

I don't need to confirm about my city anything. I know it was and is Ukrainian. If you are interested in history of Lviv, there are plenty of literature.

Where did the monies for Poland's immediate post-war reconstruction come from?

Quite clearly this is Poland's problem not Germany's as you keep saying Germany should have "'payed money" to Poland not USSR.

But actually there is no problem after all, as both the Polish and German governments agreed in 2004 that there was no legal basis for either country to pay reparations to each other. Maybe you should contact the Polish government and ask them why they decided not to persue this further?

In addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence, anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries. Thereafter, Germany and the Soviet Union invaded their respective portions of Poland, followed by Soviet annexations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and northern Romania. Part of eastern Finland was annexed by the Soviet Union after an attempted invasion.

III. REPARATIONS FROM GERMANY.2. The U. S. S. R. undertakes to settle the reparation claims of Poland from its own share of reparations.

Poland or no Poland you savages needed a victory to move on

Mein Kampf

Any German who wants to can now live again in the finely restaured old german towns of new Poland, thank you! :)

Since Poland joined the Schengen Agreement, the population of Löcknitz is growing, as rates and costs of land acquisition are lower than in Poland. Many commuters from Szczecin are living in Löcknitz

Isn't it always "another case" with the Poles? LOL

Any German who wants to can now live again in the finely restaured old german towns of new Poland, thank you! :)

Move on! You are so yesterday...:)

Move on!

Brooding in your corner again??? To bad, better move on you are wasting your life!

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

Oh we can talk about that..after you give the land and the towns back I'm sure we will find a compromise! :)

In 1941 it was decided to destroy the Polish nation completely and the German leadership decided that in 10 to 20 years the Polish state under German occupation was to be fully cleared of any ethnic Poles and settled by German colonists

The Berlin (Potsdam) Conference, July 17-August 2, 1945

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

Danzig became Polish by force you wanted to say

Stutthof concentration camp, where over 85,000 died(mostly Poles).
Piaśnica, site of mass murder of around 12,000 local Polish-Kashub intelligentsia and other people

Additionally Germans expelled a number of Poles and Jews-the overall number of the German ethnic cleansing is estimated by the Stutthof Museum at 170.000 and located German colonists in their place.

Although Poland did not receive compensation directly, under the 1945 Potsdam Agreement Poland was guaranteed a share in the Soviet Union's portion of reparations but Poland's former communist regime forfeited that right in 1953. Why did they do that?

In addition to stipulations of non-aggression, the treaty included a secret protocol dividing Eastern Europe into German and Soviet spheres of influence, anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries. Thereafter, Germany and the Soviet Union invaded their respective portions of Poland, followed by Soviet annexations of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and northern Romania. Part of eastern Finland was annexed by the Soviet Union after an attempted invasion.

yep and that's why thank you guys for restoring it to what it used to be before the WWII. Like I said, great job.

Not in commie style

maybe, maybe not but then again until 1945 there were

Most of the architecture was built by Austro-Hungarian empire, not Poland.
