History / Polish flag over the Reichstag first? [399]

You forget it was Germany who didn't want to negotiate and was impatient. If Hitler would have cooled down and waited ten or twenty years everything would have worked out for Germany eventually, anyway.

That's not the point...

GB and France made Germany's invasion of Poland with their war declaration to a world war....under the premise to fight for freedom and independence of Poland.

1945 they ended the war with giving Polands freedom and independence away...

Only leaves the Brits could have relied on Germany though would have been nice to have those 88's.

You forget the whole eastern and central Europe...all these countries GB promised to help, remember? You started the war for them in '39, but in '45 you gave them to Stalin...

I think we are talking millions of motivated soldiers here!

News / Why is Poland developing so slowly or in the wrong direction? Who is responsible ? [317]

Any country in Europe, Germany, Poland, France, etc will always be stronger individually, when they work WITH each other and NOT against each other. At least that's how I see it.

A very grown up and true observation, I fully agree!

I just think Germany needs to assert itself a little more on the world scene.

I think we need to grow into that again...it needs time, maybe another generation.

So what kind of things would you like to see Germany manipulate?
It might be good to see happen.

Nah...it's not about what we want or can do but what others accuse us of...you know the conspirational theories after those we "manipulate" and "influence" everything and their grand ma!

We are an economical giant but a political midget....normally most people like it that way...but now you can hear screams for a "leader"...I wonder why they keep looking in our direction...

now it's the EU with the nations with most influence manipulating others.

As a German it seems we have *** influence.
We are good enough to be the pay master but influence nothing. When we would have our way the EU would work alot better.
But as it is and every country guards their independence so greatly...we keep muddling along.
Far away from any "United states of Europe".
So excuse me if your phrases of "some nations manipulating others" only gets a tired smile from me!
If we could only manipulate...

Because foreign countries imposed their political systems on Poland that would benefit them, mingling in our affairs purposely weakening Poland to benefit from it

As far as I know only polish citizens are able to vote in polish elections.

If Germany would had really had so much influence no Kaczinsky would had ever come to power but as it was we had to suffer...

;)

Conspirational theories are cute, aren't they..

Didn't your Angel recently have some remark about multiculty success in Germany.

We have a problem with the Turks and Arabs, muslims all of them.
That was the center of the discussion...Serbs or Croats or other Europeans weren't part of that as their cultures is seen as european, muslim not.

Germany is nearing full employment...labor get's short again. I expect alot more Balkan and eastern folks coming, especially as this year the limits get scratched.

So, spout your anti-german stuff as you want, people usually make their choices with their feet if they have to!

Yes, and they worked like idiots to achieve nothing. They are not belonging here, they are not integrated there

Yeah...poor starving Serbs belong to the image of every bigger german town streets...

Does that imply that current status is not so good?

Of course it would be so much better without the EU Marshall plan....they would all stay at home and enjoy their grande life....

*rolls eyes*

...
The Economy of Poland is a high income economy[4] and is the sixth largest in the EU and one of the fastest growing economies in Central Europe, with an yearly growth rate of over 6.0% before the late-2000s recession.[5]
It is the only member country of the European Union to have avoided a decline in GDP, meaning that in 2009 Poland has created the most GDP growth in the EU.[6]

Well, there was the government between 2005-2007 and the presidency of Lech Kaczynski.

Did you forgot how proud Lech Kaczynski presided over the 6 month of the polish presidentship of the EU?
He battled hard for more polish influence and pathological mistrusted the german influence but not once did he mentioned a Poland outside of everything, all alone by themselves. Even he was to smart for that!

Those people left Yugoslavia in 70 is. Your unfortunate policy to take the cheap labor from us, Greeks, Spanish people got you into that mess.

He:)

No girl...these people come in search for a better life, we lure them because we ARE a functioning, better country. So much for your nationalistic pathos. They give a sh'it about you!

What mess?

I don't know a single soul that left Serbia after visa regime was changed. that means that people that are running around there are most probably Gypsies with our Passport or your Albanian friends who somehow got our Pass. Enjoy!

Of 7 million Serbs a half million alone prefers Germany to Serbia...

Serbs (Serbs in Germany, Srbi u Nemaèkoj) are the third largest group of foreigners in Germany, they were numbered 568,240 in 2003.[1]

There were 424,037 people with Serbian citizenship living in Germany in 2008.[2] They are located mostly in the regions of Berlin, Bremen, Munich and Stuttgart.

Most Poles think the same way i do

Well...not the Poles in Poland.

No anti-EU party ever had a chance to get voted into the government...should tell you something!

It seems there is a communication problem between the polish Poles and the plastic Poles. Polish Poles being in their majority very much pro-Europe, pro-EU!

If that money is so helpful, why do Poles still leave their country in order to find work elsewhere?

What an idiot thing to say!

Do you know when Poland became an member? Do you really think a Wirtschaftswunder will happen over night???

And since it takes awhile you conclude Poland would even better off without any help at all?

Gah!

You cannot win a war with low morale.

How do you think the human waves of the Red Army worked? They put NKVD troops with machine guns behind them....

Don't tell me the Europeans had lacked the morale to fight against the soviet troops on their lands!

I think that word you are looking for instead of evolved is colonized.
Some of Poles here also notice that subtle difference.

Well...colonizing is an agressive act...
Poland and your Serbia is queuing up begging to become members...to get to the EU funds.
Interesting form of colonization where the subjects say "THANK YOU for taking me in and helping me"!

Could be worse...

You know that alot of your people are swarming the EU countries (especially Germany) don't you?
Your mouth says one thing (anti-Eu, anti-Germany), your peoples feet tell another story!

They don't like it. ;)

Still..there alternatives don't seem to have much support with their peoples.
What are their alternatives actually?

Patton wasn't, the Germans weren't, the Poles weren't, the Baltics weren't, the Hungarians weren't, no country getting shoved behind the iron curtain by the "big 3" actually wasn't.

But they weren't asked!

They yet started to roll.

Yeah sure...20+ mill dead, a destroyed country with a starving population....sure they were on a roll!

The red army was exhausted as everybody else...there wasn't much more to add.

History / Lwów, Wilno ... kresy - Poland have lost enormoust part of our heritage... [389]

Actually it was seen at that time as the best defensible country in the East...they had the usable mountain region (compared to the polish/german flatland), and their army was in higher numbers motorized with uptodate machinery than the german army.

That made the easy sellout by the West the more hurting.

But their problem zone really was that the same mountain region Czechoslovakia needed for defense was populated by a hostile german minority who was annexed against their will.

So, how that would had panned out if pushes had come to shove would had to be seen...

...
Foreign minister Benes became the prime architect of the Czechoslovak-Romanian-Yugoslav alliance (the "Little Entente", 1921-38) directed against Hungarian attempts to reclaim lost areas with Hungarian majorities. Benes worked closely with France.
By a risky move in 1918, the nation annexed "Sudetenland", a fringe region that comprised 3 million Germans, who opposed the annexation and were treated as second class citizens by the new government in Prague. The original idea was that the Sudetenland had hilly areas that made feasible a military defense. Far more dangerous was the German element, which after 1933 became allied with the Nazis in Germany.
The increasing feeling of inferiority among the Slovaks, who were hostile to the more numerous Czechs, weakened the country in the late 1930s. Many Slovaks supported an extreme nationalist movement and welcomed the puppet Slovak state set up under Hitler's control in 1939....

That might have been also the point why the West had given up on Czechoslovakia in the first place, to many people not being willing to fight for that artifical Treaty-of-Versailles-construct, who knows.
