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

he overall strategy was...what exactly???

Well I could ask you the same question.

Our army did the best and even overperformed often enough

I'd say that Poles overperformed ...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_contribution_to_World_War_II

For sure not Germans ... as long as they were fighting against alone small Poland ... France (blizkreig was succesful) ... or alone Great Britan (lost battle of Britain) ... they had successes but later ...

not had as she was overstretched, undermanned and without free, unlimited access to important, vital resources!

Germans and their resonable leadership ...

Celebrating the 90th anniversary of formal relations this year, Poland and Japan have highlighted a long and very deep history that dates back since the end of World War I, and have mapped out strategies to expand ties beyond diplomacy.

From G20 to G2 as China tunes in to economic debate

theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,25293172-5013584,00.html

Well ... most world press called G-20 meeting ... G2 meeting of USA and China ... it is the reality.

Germany is regional power without potnential of being more important on worlds map. As Joshka noticed EU is being weak and nobody cares about euros opinion.

The Volga Germans (those who resettled to Russia at the times of Ekaterina) have deserved reputation of kind, honest and neat people.

Many died defending their new homeland

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_Germans

When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin was worried that the Volga Germans might collaborate with them. On August 28, 1941, he dissolved the Volga-German ASSR and ordered the immediate relocation of ethnic Germans, both from the Volga and from a number of other traditional areas of settlement. These were stripped of their land and houses, and moved eastwards to Kazakhstan in Soviet Central Asia, Altai Krai in Siberia, and other remote areas.

History / Poland remembers its bloodless revolution of 1989 [9]

According to survey ... only 9 % of Polish people have good opinion about " old times". Mostly older one who couldn't find themsleves in new system. Or simple their social status (in compariosn to neighbours) became lower.

If we look on fact that 25% of Eastern Germans want "the wall" to be rebuild.

Poles are in much better mental condition. :-)

What is more most people think that after last 20 years. Poles are better edcuated, richer, hardworking and even more handsome ...

he was convinced that Russia shouldn't have ever helped any of other Slavic countries

He claimed that Russian should conquer them instead.

According to census of 1989 the USSR had about 3 mln of Germans

Most of them in current Kazachstan where they have been deported...

Well Russians have long tradtion of freindship with Germans.

Partitions of Poland. Invasion on Poland together with Hitler in 1939 ... I doubt that it will soon change. There is long tradition of this friendship.

Germanic tribes called Northern Italians "Walh". According to Brückner Poles changed a little bit this name and here are "Włochy".

pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Włochy

Podstawą tego określenia była nazwa szczepu celtyckiego "Volcae". Na gruncie słowiańskim zadomowiła się forma zatem "Wołch", oznaczająca dla Słowian wszelkich Romanów, a w języku polskim doszło do zwężenia zakresu stosowania tego wyrazu jedynie do mieszkańców półwyspu Apenińskiego.

What should "Walh" mean?The first time the germanic tribes had come in contact with "Italy" was with Rome as far as I know.

I am not linguistic expert but as can read in quoted by me source at the begining all Celts were called in this way... by Germans. Poles borrowed this word and only Italians are called in this way.

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

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

I've thought that you durring WWII togheher with Germans have been murdering Poles not the Austrians in Lwów.

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

maybe, maybe not but then again until 1945 there were

If we go a little bit back we can see that Germans organised expulsions of the Poles before WWI (in 19 century) ...

As to your statistics something is wrong there because more Polish for their Polishness people were murdered in Gdańsk than exist in your census.

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.

It has been build for Poles ...
yup ... don't forget expulsions of Poles from Gdańsk orgainsed by Germans in 19 century ...
don't forget expulsions of the Poles from there durring WWII...

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

BTW Polish capital after the war :



Where are compensations ?

Polish capital Warszawa after the war:

Well ... modern Poland in big part is reconstruction.

Kraków is the most original city. At the end of the war Germans wanted to destroy it like Warszawa ... but they started to think about it a little bit to late...

Anny way it is how reconstruction of most Polish cites looked like that :

Odbudowa

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

Only one comment : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molotov-Ribbentrop_Pact

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.



Ribbentrop and Stalin at the signing of the Pact



Rendezvous. David Low's cartoon, published in the Evening Standard on 20 September 1939, shows Hitler greeting Stalin, following their joint invasion of Poland, with the words, "The scum of the earth, I believe?". To which Stalin replies, "The bloody assassin of the workers, I presume?"

freebird

Go throught other debates about it. Read about

Danzig became Polish by force you wanted to say

It is German map :



As to Polish Gdańsk citizens durring WWII : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danzig-West_Prussia

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.

So something is wrong with your stats...

Anny way Soviets and Germans durring fights destroyed alomost whole city (90%). Gdańsk as we know been build after 1945 by Poles. It has nothing to do with Germany or Germans.

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?

LOL - Germany invaded Poland with Soviets in 1939.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danzig#The_inter-war_years.2C_and_World_W ar_II

This wikipedia link haven't been written by Poles or neutral person. As long as it uses adjective Pomeranian instead of Pole.

What is more it avoids this information :

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teutonic_takeover_of_Danzig

So this coty was Polish first. Later in many occasions Germans were murdering or expeling Poles from there... at the end they destroyd this city and were kicked by their Soviet ally ...

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

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

Your demographics show much different settlement in your country ... :-)

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

I don't understand who gave for Soviets the right to take Polish compensation. Somebody gave money for wrong people. In my opinion Germany should pay for Poland and should debate with Russians about giving back money they wrongly gave them...

This blood is in Polish blood... not in Germans who invaded Poland in later times :)



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! :)

If you won ... Poles would be on other side of Ural ... those with Gothic blood as well...
You came to Poland to murder ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalplan_Ost

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

You destroyed most of Polish cities...

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

... if German won ... Poles would share histroy with exterminated Polabian Slavs (current eastern Germany) ... maybe there would be 50 000 Polish miniority around Warszawa.

As to Goths ... they have been looking for this blood in Poland..

Move on!

Oh yes ... Poles should move on ... and Germans should cry !!! Pure German way of thinking.

So I am telling you. Gdańsk has been build by Poles after 1945. City was destroyed by Germans and Soviets... in 90%. It has nothing to do with Germans. What is more Germans murdered more Poles there durring WWII that they had in their false statistics before WWII.

What is more this city has been founded by Mieszko... first ruler of Poland.

Forget about this city ... oh in case of change in your demographics ... you can buy house there build in anny style you like ... but don't murder or expele Poles as it was in middle ages or WWII.

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

I am not yestarday ...

It is German propaganda to claim majors of Gdańsk form middle ages ... pomeranians, speaking pomeranian dialect ... and durring WWII or middle ages they were murdered or expeled as Poles (and they considered themsleves as such)...

Gdańsk is Polish ... you can visit this city and watch how Poles rebuild it after 1945. There was no German architects involved in this construction. It has nothing to do with Germany. What is more this city was destroyed by Germans and Soviets durring WWII ... Germans expeled more Poles from this city (and documeted it ) than they had in their censuses before WWII.

It seems that Gdańsk is one of the most Polish cities.

BTW ... Goths were here long before surnames in Poland ... so this people had Polish surnames... when Germans came ...
