Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]
what towns? -
Heh:)
Next step...after one is proven wrong with denying the existence of a whole people start downtalking it....
How predictable!
Just a hint about polish history versus reality:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bydgoszcz#History
You (wiki) says:
...
The name Byd-gost contains archaic elements of the Proto-Slavonic root 'byd' which existed as a variant of the verb 'to raise' ( Ancient Russian vъzbydati = stimulating, Proto-Slavonic bъděti / bъd 'ǫ = no sleep, to watch[2]), and the common Slavic root Goszcz (fireplace). Some people identify the name of the town as BUDOrgis, a name from the second century which is listed next to the village Calisia on the amber route.[3]
Nothing german about it, right?
But now take another look at Ptolemy's map again:
spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-59994-2.html
He calls it "Ascaugalis" a german build and populated town. A part of it's heritage totally scratched out of the polish history and minds. Together with "Bromberg". Since 1800 years Germans lived in that town... how are they today???
Go away with your polish history...
Essentially there was a f*ckton of Poles and Germans in each others armies on all levels, there's more than a fifty german generals with polish roots, more than 10 polish generals with german roots (Orlik-Rueckermann) a third of Germany's top scoring aces had polish roots.
You bet! :)
If the Poles would stop denying our heritage we would so rock together...:)
