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


world war 1, Spanish civil war... Invasion of Czechoslovakia + intelligence?


I am the most anti-Soviet person among "normal people"


When somebody got millions of soldiers charging hundred thousand enemy Germans that always shoot while Germans got mousers jamming from snow, sand or dirt... statistics or not they were advancing later on! There was no miracle just raw power. Although i would been drawn the war out more if I were the Soviets... Having not wasted much of their men, they would build up their industry faster. Or have more target blinks in the future... Think of what would happen if Soviet Soldiers actually went into Vietnam or Korea? Or China!

Kill ratios don't have anything to say, you know the kill ratio in Crete right? The Germans still won! Also the German artillery was experienced/trained = very good same with the mortar teams. They were the "killers" at the front.


I quite like German equipment but, 1 shell works just like another shell. It's the efficiency of loading and knowing about ones weapon that gives somebody a victory!

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


That was too late, Poland was "free" already


I was talking about pre-ww1 during partitions, an option of cooperation with Hitler was unacceptable especially being drugged by Britts&Frenchies

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


lol I was talking about the war IN Norway... don't be ridiculous

Just before the British&French&Polish forces left Norway the main German forces were just to surrender in Northern Norway. But suddenly Norwegian forces surrendered to them as they saw their position as "hopeless".

It's really ironic

There are some heroic individual Norwegians during the invasion. Like the officer at the Oslofjord ordering to attack "Blücher" or the commander for an battleship outside Narvik. Otherwise troops were not supplied good enough, airports taken over in a few hours. No airforce so to say, warships from pre-WW1 the rifles were Swedish huntign rifles if I am not mistaken... The politicians general negative attitude towards war or anything military... If it wasn't for the terrain... The terrain+ allied soldiers were the main factor of why it took the Germans two months to gain control over Norway

But remember that, invasion of Yugoslavia, Denmark, Poland, Greece, lower countries, (Austria & Czechoslovakia too but... not much fighting but still an invasion nonetheless)
was Germans the larger force! Only during fights against France, British, Soviet Union and U.S.A forces you were outnumbered! Did Nazi Germany win in Africa? In "operation Barbarossa"? Or later in West France in 1944? It's an score of 1-3 when we think of when Nazi Germany invaded France in 1940! Tell me losing a football game with an score of 1-3 is that good? :/


buahahahhaha the trainign and experience was the most vital factor, during 1939-1940 the allies had more and better equipment. It was the drill and tried out strategies that made them win. Also the national accept of the ruling power (which is maybe why many tend to say germans and not Nazi Germans when thinking of Germans durign world war 2)

Tsk tsk, you should refresh your propaganda and create a propaganda minister. I know many will take it rather "bad" to themselves. But you need manpower

especially with the growth rate

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


Think of it, what possibilites would Germany have if it created an free independent Poland with close ties/alliance to Germany? I think a lot of troops would rebelled during ww1 and help the central powers? A lot of Americans would not be on Entente also!

1-2 more million happy volunteering soldiers fighting by your side. With over natural zeal to crush your enemy: Tsarist Russia. Do you think there was an option to do this BB?

Secured eastern front + millions of non-hostile Poles and lots of food! Hmmm? :)


Polish? ;) Not Ruthenian, Jewish or Austrian? Gosh the Austrians were weird

You know how many Poles there are abroad? What if Poland started to be successful and was starting an "campaign" to get their former "Poles" back?

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


Are you telling me that when the Germans invaded Netherlands they were fighting all forces at once? (the divisions in Netherlands)

The only times I can come to think of when the Germans were outnumbered was in Soviet Union/Africa/Italy/France 1944

And also in Norway after a time (lost almost there but the defeats in lower countries + France lead to a withdrawal for the allies in Norway)

BB what stand would you have over an world champion in boxing losing after meeting several "novices" which later on earned from experience how to defeat him? Doesn't that say anything to you? Germans were best, yeah. But they got beaten by Russians... Doesn't it ring ANY bell to you? :p


In flat landscape you mean
otherwise Germans by most of the time were outnumbering their enemies (not on a global level but on a local one)

Take a look at Scandinavia! When did we fight each other? How much bloodshed was it? The Germans ruined it! :)


Shalom


Eyyyy! An person having heritage from the great Rzeczpospolita! How wonderfull! :)


I honestly would have problems differenciate between the balkan nations in former Yugoslavia if they were standing on a line (sorry Crow but you are indeed very much alike in speach and body)


Ohh you mean Tsarist Russia? I fully agree
Poles were more on the economical thing, remember that Jews were dominating the middle class in Poland until after WW2! Do you think that would been "accaptable" by any other country?


It's more of a chance that it happands today as most Poles don't have much contact with Jews only through media or priests (if they say stuff like that, there are soem radicals I presume in Poland) But I got an hard time swallowing that it was the "thing" behind anti-semitism in Poland before WW2.


I won't deny it happaned IN Poland. Just not under Polish rule or done by Polish officials!
It MAY have happaned at the hand of a few Nationalists (which were very few) even a few antisemites started an organization to SAVE Jews! Does that say anything to you?


MANY maybe, MOST? Definatly not


He is a Britt... I don't care of a word he says


For me any commie is a commie, period! So your right at that! But remember that many had Jewish heritage and spoke Polish like a typical Jew did. So there were many thinking he indeed was A Jew. But in reality he clearly wasn't as he was waving a red flag...


So any reason to check up how the Jews came to Europe... How they lived? How they survived the centuries? How the culture was going or what great achievements they contributed to the Polish sociaty is of NON-importance? That means Poles value Jews/Jewish colture more then you do! How does that sound?

No it means he got a Russian girlfriend, "his girlfriend is Russian" would be more like "jego dziewczyna jest Ruska/Rosjanka"

It's ok now


*Becomes flattered from all the beautyfull words*


Very good reason indeed :D


Yes (My Polish side, there are only 3 noble family's in Norway (two of them with Danish roots the last with Swedish roots)


I belive child's upbringing and their social background is quite important. I clearly see the difference in behavior between people with farmer background and those of middle class background for example. Quite often it even have political "traditions".


Most Norwegians do it only in comedian shows to laugh off nobility (actors). Just to paint you a picture the Germans were shocked by the picture of seeing children sitting and elder persons standign on the buss when they invaded Norway in 1940. and many other stuff. Norway has since the black plague allmost exclusavelly been peasents or middle class (workers with peasents roots)


Yes it is very important as we are so few!


Your telling me.... -.-


I am an individual and I have no need of any factions! "When alone I am strongest!"


Sad but true :/


people like you were given oney from partitioneers and were allowed to live so that your "type" could enflame further conflict! Disgusting! Even today! Pff


Have they ever done that?


See? SEE? I knew it!


Ey ey ey... Germans got brains, Poles got brains! Don't think everybody got brains... *tries not to activate Zombie mode*

History is something one can go back to, it's an guide. But you need to open the book and read it and not only see the front page and think you have read it allready.


Indeed! Tradition has also an large impact on an persons logical thinking. Parents learn their kids what they learned from their own parents. The line may be broken one day, but it is up to everyone of us to decide that.


Poland is growing, it need's people. Oportunities are opening. At those you mentioned their closing. Doesn't matter if it's an giant toy store or an handmaking toymaker. You look for what is aveliable.


Yeah, the losses of so many people lead to "You want to do THAT again?"

Life / The most dissapointed with Poland are those who have Polish origins. [35]


You keep forgetting the "Potop" and Polish ulta-patriots

There is a saying or more an poet (Can't remember his name sorry) that went like this: "There were two birds in a cage, the one had experienced freedom and wanted to fly in the heaven and never live in the cage again. The other couldn't understand that bird as the cage had been all his life and was safe for him and no hawks would ever eat him" I would add an bird that got away and had been in an earlier cage which maybe was a bit "worse" or not that beautyfull but it had it's owner which took care of the bird inside very well. Until he died and his child took over.

That's my thoughts
