Oh come on thats ridiculuos.
My family is 100% Polish to early 19th century (afaik).
I live in Canada but the fact is im fricken Polish.
I speak and read it. I eat Polish food. etc.
If someone is 99%-100% Polish by blood they are Polish I dont care where the hell they live or what they do.
Even people who are 1/2 Polish have Polish blood. In that case I could say hes 50%Polish 50%German for example.
Irrelevant. There are thousands (millions?) of people who are 'Polish by blood' but not in the least bit Polish.

Just because his name is Matt means hes not Polish? are you an idiot?
Where did you get this mother determines the bloodline stuff? Ive only heard Jewish people use that one.
Pretty sure "blood" comes from both parents.
So, you don't even have a Polish name, you're a halfbreed (with German blood - in Poland, the mother determines the bloodline, not the father) - you really don't have much going for you, do you?

Ya I live in Canada they did not say ANYTHING about Poland in any history class
(Elementary or High school... in College I never took any history)
Okay okay there are 2 exceptions:
1)Copernicus was Polish
2)Poland was invaded by Germany to start WWII.
Other than that NOTHING.
It was not until after elementary school that I started to learn about Polish history and damn I loved reading about it... except the parts where we lost :D
This reminds me of Bush saying dont forget Poland when the stuff in the Middle East/Asia started to happen.

yaya accusing him of being racist (typical nonsense).
UK has the second highest overall crime rate in Europe, and that violent attacks have increased by 77% between 1997 and 2009.[6]
In England and Wales, there were 880,000 "Violence against the person" crimes in 2008-9, equivalent to 16 per thousand people.
guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/feb/06/ukcrime.prisonsandprobation
compared too:
Crime in Poland is lower than in many countries of Western Europe.
The 2005 surveys placed Poland below the European average, with victimisation rate lower than in Ireland, England and Wales, Iceland, Northern Ireland, Estonia, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Belgium, Sweden and Norway.[1] Newer studies (2009) report that the victimisation rate in Poland is constantly decreasing...
and dont get me started on USA.
they have like a bizillion people in prison.
so in summary PolskiMoc was right.
Amen.

History / Poland's biggest historical blunder? [341]
There were still parts fighting after 3 weeks (I think in central Poland they meet but some corners had people fighting).
I just wanted to point out that pictures dont tell the whole story (in your case its probably legit)
Remember Italians took pictures of Polish cavalry and all that stuff which was just propaganda.
One time Polish cavalry beat a German infantry division and then tanks rolled in to massacre them.
(But the calvarly never charged the tanks or anything ridiculous like that).
Here is a photo of the Nazis meeting the Soviets on September 20th, 1939. It is even less than 3 weeks.
But still, I didn't mean to be derogatory here, MW.

Significant action? We fought. Plus Poland was the 4th largest ally contributor to the war even. We fought on more fronts than any allied country.

Poland prepared to the best of their abilities moron. Think of Russia vs Ukraine what would happen.

Britain did almost nothing. Declaring war without SIGNIFICANT action is pointless.
They dropped a few fliers here and there and maybe bombed a few ships.
Quite a reaction by the Brits.
They gave planes, weapons, food, etc to Poles (and others) after France was raped but that was afterward. We are talking about 1939 here not 1940 or 1941.
Another reason they were giving Poles and other nations supplies was because Britain needed all the help it could get. If it wasnt an island it would be run over faster than Poland and France easily. A week tops :)
They sent troops to the war which then ran like flies to dunkirk and hell knows where.
Absolutely. The UK declared the war against the Nazis immediately after the attack, sent its troops during the war on the continent, gave the planes, weapons, food to the Polish soldiers and now this embarrassment of the XXI century quacks pathetically that the Britain did nothing. Shame. It isn't even worth wasting words.

And there is also the Eurocup which is fun.
