What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]
the legitimacy of the Communist government in legal theory.
No you don't, you are sweet-talking about legitimacy of the Communist emerge. The only acts of the Communist regime which are legal are those which Polish government choose to recognize as legal and binding,
Yes, they used the 1921 Constitution and amended (and then replaced it) with something that suited them, but it was all done in accordance with the law.
I think that your confusing come for the fact that you constructed artificial barrier between law and reality or morality. That could be all well if you were debating some theoretical legal twists but you don't.
You are trying to debate one part of the whole, it doesn't make any sense legal or otherwise.
How do you think Poland survived after '89??
I wonder how you survived, the facts you can type that a wonder.
quote=Polson]Well, they participated in the development of such (nice) cities as Wrocław. And Gdańsk, a place I like, for instance ;)

well, places that had to be rebuild by Poles. Not to mention that they take whole credit for destruction such vibrant city like Warsaw and countless towns and villages.
TheOther:
they share a lot of their history
people from Poland and Germany were intermixed for centuries but sharing a lot of history is a cliché if I ever sow one.
The Polish state had more or less ceased to exist,
Ah! Now it became clear where do you inspiration and confusion come form.
You follow claims of aggressor and occupiers. Well Poles, reality and a their legal theory show you a big middle finger to your claim shared by the Nazis and Communist
theoretician . You are proudly continuing their line.
