News / Petition for War Crimes Reparations for Poland [126]

That issue has more levels to it.

Not really...actually only 2. The one who wants money and the other who pays it (or not).

I rather think PiS believes Germany as weak and soft, they try for their pound of flesh as long as they think they can get away with it.

Otherwise it is illogical why they don't grate on Moscows nerves too at the same time. They fear Russia more than Germany...

It's abit schizophrenic....Germany is an partner and an ally, a good, peaceful neighbour, sharing most unions and treaties...so they look for any things to pelt Germany with.

Russia is feared and depised, hated even...seen as an enemy....not a bad word from Warsaw, and for sure no demands!

Maybe Germany should become abit harsher? :)

It get's boring...there are just no new arguments or facts or anything else what would demand a re-consideration. It's done!

Greece wasn't even part of the treaty talks in 1990, they even get less from Germany as in:

"*shrug*

Your fault that you weren't even there. You failed to put in your demands then, now it's to late. Sorry!"

I asked for links to government sites with photocopies of sufficient documents

*sigh*

Gesetz betreffend das Abkommen vom 27. Februar 1953 über deutsche Auslandsschulden

bgbl.de/xaver/bgbl/start.xav#__bgbl__%2F%2F*%5B%40attr_id%3D%27bgbl253s0331.pdf%27%5D__1555800148125

You could find it all by yourself, you know...don't play daft!

It began in 1953 in London and ended 1990 in Berlin as also Poland subscribed to make the after-war Oder-Neiße-Border officially and acknowledged for good by Germany.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oder-Nei%C3%9Fe-Grenze#Die_Oder-Nei%C3%9Fe-Grenze_als_Grenze_zwischen_Deutschland_und_Polen

And aslong as some nutters only always claim reparations from Germany and not from Russia likewise too, the whole thing just smells rotten anyhow....

I'm sure you will provide links to those "subscribed treaties"?

Just in case you missed it the first 325 rounds before:

"According to a statement made by the German government on the issue, the reparations issue was resolved in 1953 as Poland declined receiving any payments from Germany."

That is the one and only answer Poland will ever get. Believe me...and come another election with K. and his followers slowly dying out that all will also fall into the fog of long gone history.

Sure....it wouldn't be the first time...this topic pops up regularly....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations#Poland

There has been compensations, there has been treaties...if Poland today wants to disrespect them then everything else will to...then Silesia needs to be re-negotiated not to mention the billions of EU-funds pouring into Poland...not to mention opening up an interesting case for others who have historical beef with Poland.

It's a two-sided sword and in Europe nearly everybody can play that game!

So, nobody will do anything about it...only nutters on some internet forum or politicians hoping to win some brownie points with a small portion of the electorate for domestic reasons.

That is not really a topic any longer at all!

@Weimarer

That means nothing for Germany....be it Greece or Poland such actions are meant for the home population, for domestic reasons only like an upcoming election battle...to seduce possible voters with a show of dicks...

Once that is over that reparation demand is forgotten like any other pre-election promise! It's a game...

Isn`t it so already? :) Or, it isn`t yet, if you mean the full unification.... :):)

I call it Germolia...my polish friend prefers Gerpolia...so the decision on the name is still out! :)

But the parcels could have been prepared for communist Angola, constantly torn by civil war.

*nods*

Or Vietnam! They were always in need of some parcels. I remember THAT! :)

I too remember faintly packing such parcels with my school class, it was an organized action after school and all classes did it...

Mind you...I somewhat doubt that my East German overlords would waste their school kids time to send humanitarian aid in a roundabout way to support the Solidarity uprising in the "socialist brother country" Poland...I wonder where else the parcels were send to...

Wasn`t POLEN written on the parcels?

I don't remember! :(

Yes, I can give you that but only when it comes to some types of speciality sausages.

Thats all I ever wanted! :)

Interesting....I too remember faintly packing such parcels with my school class, it was an organized action after school and all classes did it...but I don't remember where they were send to....

There is even a movie about the West German help for Poles during that time:

Yeah....well....that doesn't count...we got it from the Spaniards who brought it back from South America before...

How about sausages?

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

Nope...it's about "Klima Schutz"....after that logic every child destroys to much of the climate (CO2 foot print). Rich children are not better than poor kids. To save the planet we need to constrain ourselves...the author said.

I can't help thinking that idea would fit better to Africa and Asia where people are spawning as if there is no tomorrow (China being excepted). Not really to Germany or Europe generally with their already sinking birthrates...

Maybe german women will get in the future a bonus for NOT bearing children to fit the population size to the rest of the manual jobs where humans are still needed.

The first ideas are being thrown around....

PS: Of course to keep the borders open at the same time for foreigners with lotsa foreign children would be then somewhat counter productive..

Just look at how Chinese cities look compared to the us or western Europe.

Nah....just much more people, they have to live like ants in huge anthills...living and working like tiny ants....ants have no individuality, they only serve a purpose....

Your ideal?

Not mine!

Most of India still lives firmly in the third world, China too. A majority is still uneducated even illiterate, dirt poor, without access to health care or even clean water, I'm not even mentioning civil rights and participation on a democratic process, people in Beijing and Delhi are dying daily from inhaling their poisonous, toxic air ffs...The people in the West live generally on a much higher niveau....most Indians and Chinese can only dream of!

A few prestige projects and a few abysmal rich people don't show the whole picture.

And please, just try writing a posting without injecting muslims somehow innit, TRY! Thank you.

No wonder we need to import Chinese and Indians just to keep pace with their countries development.

Compared to China and India most of the West is still in another league...they have still alot of catching up to do!

That's not a fair comparison.....

For the US and most of the West space has lost it's priority. A grave error which will cost us dearly, especially as the Russians have never let up and the Chinese have found their ambition to become a space faring nation too.

There are lists...but not organized in centuries:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_inventions_and_discoveries

studying-in-germany.org/most-incredible-german-scientists/

Germany was named the second most innovative country in the world in the 2015 Bloomberg Innovation Index,[5] and consistently manages to be in the top three.

....imagine Germany's mad scientists had build the bomb for the Nazis.

Berlin would have been erased...together with my grandmom and her four little girls...no Bratwurst Boy today....

No thanks! You can be a smartie and still be dumb as a piece of cow dung.

Nonetheless it doesn't change the fact that in 1989 auschwitz numbers were reduced by a whopping 3 million

Why are you so interested in lowering the numbers at all? Shouldn't you be...I dunno...proud of that "achievement" and instead of downtalking it?

Your usual posts don't give the impression as if you have great empathy or compassion for the fate of "them Jews" under the Nazis....

our family would have been reduced to the role of Untermenschen and you would never have been able to travel to Chicago

Isn't it mind boggling when non-Germans adore Hitler and the Nazis? Totally ignoring the sacrifices their own ancestors brought and the fate what would had awaited them if their heroes had won?

Is there something more sick and stupid? Suicidal maybe? Traiterous at least?

I can understand when Germans or even Japanese do this, but Russians? Poles? Brits, USians????

My theory: They're not pushing for a second referendum because they're afraid that Brexit would win again..

Maybe...maybe not.

That doesn't do sh't for the deep split across the country, in the case the Remainer would win now only the other half is deeply unhappy and angry...

I see Russia as a natural partner for Germany

You are a Linke fan!

That's their party program...(and the SPD talks the same)

You should reconsider whom you give your vote come next elections!
