History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

Territory issues make troubles... :(

Not unless your Norwegian ;)

I can't even recall hardcore Norwegian nationalists wanting Iceland, several Islands and Jamtland back to Norway...

I have been to both and I would understand Turkish reception that is for sure.
Unless their traditionalists and need them to talk to each other and ignore their customers. But of course they will think their just anti-Greek that way maybe? IF that happened of course :)

It has the same sense of "Why Greeks love Turks?"
Is it because of their superior looks? :)

Jesteś czarująca!
Don't mix it with Czarownica/czarownicą
It may lead to the opposite of what you intended to get

WHAT?!

Shh you didn't hear it from me ;p

PS: The handwritten original of our anthem by Fallersleben is also part of the Berlinka!

Taken care of/hidden it
compare it with Destroying

Like what Americans did with the monastery at Monte Cassino...

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

Art moved by Germans into occupied Poland during ww2, and which stayed there (the Polish gov. tried to keep it secret and that it was repayment for all the art Germans destroyed)

Seems fair really, it's worse with the Sweeds ;)

So...what to do now? Invading another time (or two) back so to balance the sheet better?

Neeh, sabotaging their nuclear reactor one more time ;p

History / Why Poles love Russia [105]

Over the generations Poles have had countless reasons to love Russia.

Tsk tsk

Poles over generations had countless reasons to love holy mother great imperium = Russia
Since Mighty Russia annexed Poland's eastern borders in 18ths century the Polish people had all the time to develope love affections for their strong will to important anything tropical. For their further benefit they transferred these tropical fruits to places such as Siberia.

Also the Russians tried to share their Orthodox (great) religion (Christian mind YOU!) with the Polish people, somehow that pedo-phile molesting Church had a too strong grasp upon those Poles. How didn't they notice the greatness of Orthodoxy?

Also the Great Revolution of which we tried to spread to Poland (and rest of the world mind YOU!) but you halted it even if it would been to the best benefit for everyone! Our glorious (great) ideology was halted for a bit (of course by bad luck, pff Poles right?) But then in 1939 we could continue the increase of lands to the motherland (great mind you!) also tricking Hitler to feel safe (haha we are brilliant!)!

Also breaching any agreement with Poland was necessary for her own good and the good of the people! (How can you compare a few years of hell with long period of "Marvelous Greatness at the side of GREAT Russia! (Soviet Union)"

Also Poles love us for not trying to destabilize the relationship with Poland and the polish people! How disastrous would it been if we said we are not better then Hitler and his Crew? What a terrible idea!

Anyway what happened we love all polish people and we forgive them their crimes! We are Christians right?

This was a satiric show performed by Mr Grunwald on how Polonius3 should have done it

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

No, I cannot name another country where the Nazis actually left their weapons voluntarily to a resistance army. That resistance army must've been their favourite then, if you catch my drift.

-.-

Enemy of my enemy is my friend? Ever heard of it?

Do you honestly think those Poles would leave all that equipment and not take it at all? It wa deliberately so that it would "force" the AK forces to prolong the soviet advance, although they prioritized fighting other partisan units instead.

You're the one who was claiming that the Nazis had a tougher time in Poland than in any other country.

No, that was me ehrkhm *cough*

However, as to your question: I name Yugoslavia, a nation which fielded more than twice as many freedom fighters as Poland and which was the only nation in WWII to (largely) free itself.

That could be one of the options for sure, I will ask Crow if he knows more on the subject about the hardship of German soldaten am Jugoslavien :)

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

Just as you forget that the reason there was no Polish government collaborating with the Nazis is that the Nazis had no interest in there being any Polish government.

Oh they had but, none of those Poles wanted to co-operate. Even a right winged anti-Semitic organization which I can't recall the name of right now had a member whom was bribed by the Nazis (or forced idk) and he got a bullet in his head for the very idea.

Also there is a story about Goebbels wanting to make the Górale have their own mini state and saying that THEY were the original Poles and the Poles predecessors which stayed by their culture but you know what they did to that newly made mini states leader?? They got him and hanged him. Then Goebbels put that idea into the trash. (I wish I remember the links sorry but if you look hardly enough I bet you will find one)

Also Hitler and his crew had vassal states all over Europe even one they had invaded (France, Nazi-Norway etc)

So why not try to make those Poles whom a lot earlier won against the Soviet Union their ally or partner?

I bet they tried all they could!

They even had Russian troops... (a small faction considering the numbers of course)
But still a faction, while the closest time of co-operation between Poles and the Germans (Nazis) was in the eastern border when the German withdraw and they "forgot" some of their arms so that nearby AK forces could pick em up after they had told them their "forgetting" some stuff.

And that was only a single event! I can't recall that it happened quiet a lot. But it did happen, once...

Name me a nation/country which was occupied by the Nazis and the Nazis had a tougher time being there!

Food / BREAD IN POLAND IS DETERIORATING [90]

did you know that kajzerki with 4 cuts are sold in Krakow, and with 5 cuts in Warszawa? interesting...

Didn't know :o

no worries, i have a job and an apt... ;)

Hmmm

For those who want this in the UK, you can get it in Morrisons, It's called "Windmill" bread ;)

Scottish bakeries also produce all sorts. I've seen most of the things here back home too :)

You lucky bas*****

Also, here you can buy polish bread but it tastes so different than the one which u can buy in Poland. Pre-packed bread is just a crime imho.

Ohhh....

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [185]

Well I guess Sasha went through those same books but I don't call him "Ruski" or "Kacap" I can't recall doing so atleast. While I wouldn't been shocked if I did so with ConstantineK. I generally don't like Prussian lovers and Russian imperialists (BB is an exception)

Food / BREAD IN POLAND IS DETERIORATING [90]

I guess 80% of poles have a breadmaker at home, because when its another public holiday

You know that real quality food lasts very short, and crap food lasts very long because they put chemicals in it so it lasts longer... So if you buy crap food=lasts longer

If you buy quality food = lasts shorter

Same goes with milk, Polish milk is sooo good :D
Quite often I eat everything I buy before the end has gone in Poland so I never have problems with it when im there for vacations :D

I love Kaizerki <3
(They have Austrian/German past right?)

Genealogy / Jewish Roots of Poland [638]

Another mystery cleared up.

I always thought they said Amen, like "Amen" and not "Umain" or "Omain" thanks for the info :D

History / Heil Poland!.....? Poland is a pro-Nazi state? [185]

Yes, I am, why I cannot?

Somebody asked why Poles get so "attacking" here, I answered because it was created&continued by an RUssian Imperialist what ever his (yours) motives are they would look at it as "Russian propaganda trying to put down Poland"

So if it was an stupid-non knowing Westerner (probably an American , talking out of experience not stereotype) most wouldn't been that attacking, but more explaining on why it is happening and etc.

It's like when a cat steals a dog's fish (he can rightly do so right? Because fish is typical cat's food right? but the fish is still the dog's)

So when after the 1000 time the cat tried to steal the dog's fish and asks how is the fish tasting out of pure curiosity you shouldn't be so surprised that the dog thinks "Oh he tries to steal my fish again"

Still a Cat can be a Cat and a Dog can be a Dog
and the Cat has all the right to get himself some food it's just about "how" he/she does it :)

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

Yet we have nearly as much ppl in Yad Vashem as PL has.

My question earlier was about how many Poles do you think there are that weren't written down cause of time of war. Not everyone had a little piece of paper with him that was written "executed because he/she tried to save a Jew"

My point is, yes there were many Dutch people trying to save Jews, but those who re regarded as saviors of Jews in Poland aren't that much in Yad Vashem because there were fronts going through that place 3 times and not everybody had a piece of paper that said they helped a Jew, and everybody knows that dead can't speak among the livings.

Its like with medals for soldiers, not everyone who did something "heroic" got a medal.

that was my point thank you

what you are about? Who deny bad sides? well, maybe same are not aware about Polish bad sides during the WWII but only because there were minor in no way comparable to really heroic deeds.
I mean Poles didn't have SS-division or government collaborating with Germans, action of individuals it minor and unimportant detail and you trying to make it big, I suppose for philosophical reason.

That is actually a good point

So what was the task of the Blue Police? Are you absolutely sure that PL-people at that time didn't rat on their Jewish neighbours, maybe because they were scared to death that the Nazis would kill THEIR family?

Also some wouldn't have the courage of walking outside among Poles after reporting Jews to the Nazis? You know the Polish underground wasn't "inactive"

History / Poles and (Polish) Jews... Victims of war... and beyond [380]

were originally based on the Italian/Spanish/Portugese model.

Which used Hungary? (just curious)

There you go, this is plain out bragging. And the line "resisted them somewhat" fits in that bragging perfectly.

I would say adding a perfect statement about the topic?

Remember M-G that there are many unknown heroes from Poland ww2, many lie dead under that times Warsaw ruins. Those who tried to help Jews and got killed themselves with the Jews they were saving aren't numbered up right? How many dead Poles was there that tried to help Jews but failed and died by doing it? While nobody had any record of it and family members maybe thought he/she died because of underground movement fights (during Warsaw uprising)

You gotta admit that in reality I think it is a lot more Poles who helped Jews then somebody knows, just that nobody saw them or heard them? I guess there were some in Netherlands too but, not at the same scale?

Out of pure logic the Nazi German must have captured a lot of "savers" since they changed their directives when it came to punishment of those who helped Jews right?

(anyhow how many Jews Dutch ppl saved, it won't change the immage I have of the Dutch I mean come on allow drugs? what have they been smoking? :))

News / US to deploy Patriot missiles to Poland [405]

next invasion won`t come from direction of Russia

It would come from behind, from Eurabia

It is a weapon which would come in handy in war, any war. It's just that Russia doesn't like the idea of arming up and starting the race again (mostly because THEY KNOW they will lose)

Russki's see it as danger to their protection while Poles thinks of it as a bonus to their protection

hmm

History / POLAND: EASTERN or CENTRAL European country? [1090]

Religiously = Western

Culturally = Western (when we think of the times when art and everything was coming from Italy and France? Also today fashion and food types don't come in a main stream from Russia...)

militarily = Western with eastern past

geographically = Central/Eastern (just a slightly bit of east when you consider Poland's historical borders)

politically in general it's = Polish ;)
