Is Jozef Pilsudski the king of modern Poles? [138]
Veit Stoß a clearly German artists who did alot of cool work for now-polish towns but still is and was a German. ;)
Even if in-fact he was, he was still accepted as a Pole from the Polish community for all work he had done for Poles.
And Germans called him a Pole when he went back to Germany...
It's not a fact to call someone a Pole it's an honor!
If you look back in history there were no Poles 1000 years ago, there were Lędzianie, Mazowszanie etc
It's the connection of tribes wich made them all Polish (the cause itself, the joint to survive together) and anyone wanting to join it, can call himself a Pole if he truely feels like one in spirit. Piłsudski saw on himself as Pole/Lithuanian, Lithuanian body with a Polish soul. That's why the Lithuanians don't like him. He refused to acknowledge anything like separational Lithuania.
A true I RP thinker
BBlook at commonwealth.pl and check up the "Deutsche Vita" the choir music is wonderful (the best ive ever heard)
and yes Piłsudski is going to be Poland's king of all time! :D
