Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]
I never knew.....
BB, your problem is that you do not take me seriously. OK, I troll sometimes, but very often I provide factual information.
Poles were serving in the German army from the start; all those whose parents were German citizens before WWI were considered German citizens, and their children were conscripted to the Wehrmacht.
There is a story about Polish soldiers fighting in Africa as part of the British corps. One soldier, frustrated by the arrogant attitude of the British officers, said to his colonel, "Sir, look at those upstarts, so full of themselves! Not long ago, they were running like rabbits from us." After further investigation, the colonel learned that the 'we' the soldier referred to were the Deutsches Afrika Korps under Erwin Rommel.
