They did that with Austria (neutral and nuke-less) but they didn't get any reparations from it....for that it needed the physical occupation it seems...
And of course they could get a lot of reparations from it.

Not only nowadays, as they were....and some Berliner call it also the memorial of the rapist, because that was also true.
There is no such thing as lilywhiteness...but under that monument lay the bones of thousands of young men...russians, ukrainians and surely also belorussians far away from home buried in german soil....we can and have to respect that.
And yeah...that the soldiers and their families weren't exactly living in wealth and freedom either was surely a part of the understanding and acceptance. I remember people saying that the worst was over for Germans in 1945, for the Russians/Soviets it didn't stop...
Possibly some people in Germany regard Russians as an "occupants" nowdays.

....After the November pogroms in 1938, up to 40,000 people fled, including more than 15,000 Polish Jews deported in October. In 1939, almost 80,000 Jews managed to flee Germany. With the start of the war on September 1, 1939, the chances of leaving the country decreased - while around 500,000 Jews lived in Germany in 1933, there were only around 210,000 in 1939 - but it is still possible: in 1940, 15,000 Jews can still leave the country , In 1941 there are only half as many....

What privilege!
There had been just not many Jews left to stage a pro-Poland demonstration back in Berlin 1939....there hadn't been any pro-jewish demonstration in Warsaw either during the years before I guess?
Definitely! As WWII was a continuation of WWI....Hitler got thirsty for revenge during the Treaty of Versailles!
Nothing of that would had happened without Austria declaring war..
So, talk to me again about Jewish privilege in refusing to help Poles.

On July 28, 1914, one month to the day after Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife were killed by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia, effectively beginning the First World War.

Don't be silly. Tiny Austria wouldn't have been able to start a war on this scale.

Where should the few survivors had done that? In the camps?
Many german Jews where deported to Poland in the years before. They then where gathered in the Ghettoes, you know the rest....
The US TV series "Holocaust" centers around such a family from Berlin with polish/jewish roots....worth watching!
Again, you are yet to provide any accounts of Jews publicly demonstrating against Nazi Germany's invasion

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.
Did people write in standard German as well at that time?

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!
