History /
So called "inconvenient parts" of Polish history - what do you think? [158]
I agree that information from Wikipedia has to be taken with a grain of salt
No, its to be taken as absolutely worthless.
but in this case the whole article was full of links to the sources from which the quotes were taken.
These sources are mostly rubbish as well for several reasons, they do not account for Gestapo and SS members nor german police and german citizens who were killed for participating in genocide and atrocities on Poles.
They do not differentiate between casualities inflicted by Poles and Russians.
In other words they deliberately mask the whole truth in a disgustingly revisionist manner.
but do you really want to argue that all sources are only there to put Poland in a bad light?
More to the point they're not to put Poland in a bad light but to put Germany in a good light. The dry facts are that the vast majority of german civilians who died were killed as punishment for proven acts of genocide, theft or expulsion of Poles and they deserved it but by putting all the deaths in one bag the anglo-saxon authors as well as Germans attempt to revise the picture and paint Poles as murderers rather than avengers.
What they paint as genocide was wartime justice, nothing more.
Reasons to that are in the early 50s when Poland was communist and therefore smeared in sh*t as with all easter bloc countries, Germans themselves took to it instantly attempting to revise their history of genocide by a smear campaign against the Poles which continues to this day in the west by simple principle of a thing put in motion decades ago.
Post #24:
"Every time there is even the slightest criticism of Poland, you can bet that someone will either respond with a personal insult or answer with a "but".".
You are a perfect example... :)
Not at all, you're biased against Poland and will attempt to twist the facts to point in the direction you want and the direction you want is to make Poland look bad regardless of the topic at hand, you believe Poles deserve less and will attempt to prove so by lies and underhanded rhetoric every time.
