The obvious point was that Roosevelt (along with Churchill) sold Poland to the Soviets during the 3 conferences with Stalin, the Yalta Conference in February of 1945 being the last nail in Poland's coffin.
In any case so called "communism" existed in Poland 44 years at max. (1945-1989) and now Poland is already 23 years non-communist.So they did more than 1/2 of way they did under communism already.Have life conditions in Poland became equal to that in Germany?I think it is quite obvious Poles will not be able to live in any foreseable future or could live in the past exactly like Germans...They just never had historical experience of it.
