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


Someone searched for the names of the killed...I dunno if its complete though...

....Alphabetical lists of Jewish war dead from the Polish Armed Forces and Armed Forces in Exile. List 1 contains 1105 names of Jewish military casualties of the September 1939 campaign. List 2 contains 523 names of Jewish military casualties of the Polish Armed Forces in exile. (List 2 is divided chronologically and geographically into four sections:....

There exist also a very interesting comic called "Maus"...the son of a polish/jewish Holocaust survivor wrote about the memoirs of his father who actually served in the polish forces in 1939...

I think Pol rather had a show of support for Poland '39 before the Reichstag in mind...

....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....

Dead, fleeing, hiding, soon to be dead....take your pick!

Not amazing....just DEAD!

Had more Germans and Europeans cared before about their fate (not secretly applauded) I'm sure they would had found the energy to care more about Poland and the fate of other Europeans too.

....I have to admit I didn't read everything...My trigger word was actually "annexion" in the same sentence with "Austria"...that got me out of my daily slumber like a cat smelling catnip! :)

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


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..

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.

I blame the Austrians for every of my warts...them and the Frenchies!

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


....in 1939??? Seriously?

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!

I think it was more a kind of a bender....the same as in Germany...the Sudetenland...the Saarland before....like drunks.

...and what a hangover followed.

A warning against politicians with promises if there ever was one!

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!

They don't have to follow Germans in everything, don't they!

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!
