How much did the Soviet "liberation" cost Poland in 1945?

Poland suffered during World War II, undoubtedly the greatest human and material losses per capita. The vast majority of these losses was the result of systematic German terror, as a symbol, next to the murder of about 5 million Polish citizens, was the destruction of Warsaw. Loss of the population of the Polish capital losses exceeded several times over France, not to mention the other occupied countries of Western and Czechoslovakia. The same thing happened with the material damage.

...

It would seem so could it just Poland was unique not only moral , but also the political right to reparations at the expense of defeated Germany . However, as a matter of " liberators " the Soviet who treated ruined due to the country as the spoils of war , Poland was not destined to get even a symbolic compensation for their losses. The British and the Americans accepted this situation made ​​no major objections .

Some editing is needed, otherwise the meaning is a bit lost.

I wasn't trying to edit everything too much, but one can get the picture. Soviets robbed $ 836,000,000 worth of coal alone (10.2 billion dollars in today's money) and denied getting $ 700,000,000 from the Marshal Plan (8.5 billion).

Hmm, no English language source and more than 100 words copy pasted direct from google translate (hence large parts of it being gibberish). Any reason why this isn't in the bin yet?

Do you have any reason to think that he can't read Polish? There's nothing on his profile about it.

Interesting that you make no attempt to discuss the topic of your own thread and make no attempt to explain how your thread in any way satisfies rules 11 and/or 12:

11. Text that is a copy-paste from other online source/s and contain more than 100 direct words may be either deleted or edited. We encourage you to post only original and never published opinions or paraphrase opinions that have already been published.

12. If a post contains a link to an outside source (especially an article), in addition to this link the poster should quote a couple of initial sentences from the article.

Well if someones like In Warsaw(you) asks why there isn't an English translation it means he can't read Polish, so learn the language "Pole" LOL

Or it could just be that forum rules require English language sources (and limit copy-pasting to no more than 100 words).

Perhaps it would be better to post the first 100 words or so of this original source (i.e. in Polish) over in the Polish language forum? I note that you very rarely post there (less than 0.2% of your posts are there), perhaps now would be a good time to start?

Indeed. If you're going to link to a Polish source in the English language section of the forum, provide a translation. Try to avoid posting more than 100 words of linked content.
