Well....some have surely tried stuff...but law prevented the worst.
No, Poles slugging it out with the prussian gov in a court is not brutal, don't give me the ****.
216 polish estates sold, Poles could and did buy land, they could live and work in Prussia...brutal my a'ss!
...
Nevertheless the influx of candidates was always huge and in the eve of World War I the number of immigrant workers exceeded 500,000 persons, 80% of them from the Russian-possessed part of Poland. Approximately 200,000 of them worked in the eastern provinces of Prussia....
My...must life have been horrible for Poles in Prussia...
I surely don't say everything was perfect or comparable with today.
But Prussia was not some black dictatorship and people COULD slug it out at a court instead of just being killed or kidnapped into a labor camp...they HAD rights!
