History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

Understandable...the Austrians had just alot better PR after WWII...they made themselves the first "victim", Hitler a German and Beethoven an Austrian...its an old joke here! :)

I think the austrian/german word "Anschluss" hits it better than the somewhat dubious sounding english "annexation"....

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

Definitely...

It all started with WWI...a war Germany only got into to defend the treaty with Austria....the rise of the austrian Hitler and WWII was a direct consequence.

Now see what that got us!

Oh and about the "annexation":

Erm....Hitler was an Austrian....many of the worst Nazis had been Austrians...and Beethoven was a German, not an Austrian....its abit complicated with the Schluchtenscheißer and us...

Cool! Congrats :)

Sütterlin was the handwriting what was teached in the schools since about 1911....so, old people might have written differently by tradition, but otherwise I don't think so.

Language / Postcard from Wolyn.. translation if possible.. [19]

For a small fee people will help you out with translating old Sütterlin documents (handwriting AND language)...it's worth a try if it's important to you!

For example:

awo-ov-konstanz.de/suetterlin-schreibstube/

or

heinz-bernd.de/heinz_bernd/vorf_suetterlin/vorf_suetterlin.html

or

towener-lesebuch.de/transkription-uebersetzen-suetterlin/

If possible you would need a much better picture of your document....higher resolution, sharper for better reading. Good luck! :)

With Laschet the CDU will tank in East-Germany, as the SPD already does....both of their top league personal, their heartlands and most of their voters, are western....the East doesn't really exist for them (besides some empty sunday speeches), that will show in their policies and their election results.

He is "Merkelianer", totally approved by "her", with him the movement of the CDU to the left will keep on going...no change, no new "Aufbruch" whatsover. Not what the country needs!

Additionally to that the CDU base was against him, the leadership had still decided for him, going against the majority of the CDU delegates...the split with the base is deep already. That too is potential for a coming conflict sooner or later...


A free trade agreement isn't going to cut it if Europe wants to keep its seat at the top table in the new world order....that's the problem!

That implies abit of sympathy at least, if not love! ;)

Just imagine Poland taking over the place of GB on the table....more free market, less socialism...more political and economical pragmatism...

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]

France is extremely centralist, Germany values federalism....France is much more socialist, Germany is not...France sees itself rather as the patron of the South of Europe and was not happy at all about the enlargement to the East, etc...etc...etc...

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]


Actually that is more a french thing....they are also more than happy with GB gone. That all strengthens more their half of the Union...whereas Germans are sad to see them go, both of them, as that weakens them.

Its another sign of your "unsmartness" that you keep always putting France and Germany into the same basket, as if their goals are always identical! As if they were twins, naturally joint by the hip. But we are anything but, since the times of the Roman Empire, since Gallia was conquered and Germania stayed free we have developed differently...the default line, the Rhine, cutting across Europe. You don't know your european history at all!

It's like wrong math...you will never get the desired outcome if you calculate with the wrong variables!

I still don't understand why the mention of Judaism is so important to you? Because of its inherited elitism and its lack of proselytization (and in consequence its tiny numbers) it plays barely a role whatsoever for pagans...compared to the conquering nature of Christianity and Islam. It's an inner christian squabble anyhow I think...with Jesus having been a Jew first. Keep me out of it!


Who wouldn't allow me?

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]


For me the christian, islamic and jewish book religions are really all the same...all imported from some far away desert....all foreign to our lands and our native peoples!

I don't discriminate in that regard! The differences are that Christianity was forced on us with the sword 2000 years back, Islam is creeping in through the back door, only Judaism doesn't try to turn me at all.

Acceptable?

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]


Exactly!

I wish all "defenders of Europe" would start with re-discovering their true european roots...and they are pagan!

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]

Look at the thread header...."god of our ancestors"...its true! Where is the problem? Why should he have to explain anything?

And where is the difference between Jesus and Allah? Both imported from some far away desert by foreigners, forcefully, violently....for me it's all the same...only the pagans of old, our ancestors, had been true natives of Europe and need to be defended for that!

All these christian "defenders of Europe" are abit late...

History / Świętowit/Svetovid, God of our ancestors - Does He watch over us even now? [47]

....only for Christians!

And the old gods had been here first...and not imported from some far away desert.

Shouldn't Poles support that development? After all the bad experiences with the "original" Germans over the centuries....maybe the "new Germans" will be better for Poland?

Which restrictions and regulations are you talking about?

What is stopping Poland from becoming a powerhouse???

Do you remember how the EU started out? Do you think Germany has always been a powerhouse??? We were in ruins...we just laid Europe to waste...we were the PARIAH of the world!

And do you really believe that French-German "bloc" is a given? Something natural?? Iron, we are arch enemies, have been for more many centuries...we are not real heart-friends and probably never will be, we distrust and don't like each other!

And still....we are much more powerful together and peacefully so....and it's ALL the reward for being diplomatic and smart negotiating !!!


I'm ashamed of that myself! I'm not happy with my current government, I think I made that already abundantly clear often enough in this forum. Neither what illegal immigration concerns nor that China-bootlicking...I'm also opposed to that pipeline by now.

I dream of a Brussels which would force Berlin to rethink some stuff...but for that I would need a stronger Poland...so there!
