History / Was Prussia mostly German? [65]
I dont know why Amazon attached that note about the author and holocaust deniel as this book has nothing to do with the holocaust, the description was about the author as can be assertained in the first line, "for his historical publications".
It would have been better if I posted the link to the British Amazon were there is no description but one review that is more accurate to the book.
Anyway I see Iam wasting my time here arguing with people so desperate to retain their blinkered view that they would resort to character assassination, all one has too do is look at the figures regarding the decreasing numbers of Germanics living in West Prussia in the years after the first world war.
And how my posts confirm I havnt got a leg to stand on is beyond me, you obviously didnt read them or just cherry picked to support your view, heres a bit more copy and paste to help out any 3rd parties who might be viewing this debate which is surely wasted on the posters.:-
German political scientist Stefan Wolff, Professor at the University of Birmingham, says that the actions of Polish state officials after the corridor's establishment followed "a course of assimilation and oppression".[65] As a result, a large number of Germans left Poland after the war: According to Wolff, 800,000 Germans had left Poland by 1923,[65] according to Gotthold Rhode, 575,000 left the former province of Posen and the corridor after the war,[66] according to Herrmann Rauschning, 800,000 Germans had left between 1918 and 1926,[66] contemporary author Alfons Krysinski estimated 800,000 plus 100,000 from East Upper Silesia,[66] the contemporary German statistics say 592,000 Germans had left by 1921,[66] other Polish scholars say that up to a million Germans left.[66] Polish author Władysław Kulski says that a number of them were civil servants with no roots in the province and around 378,000,[clarification needed] and this is to a lesser degree is confirmed by some German sources such as Hermann Rauschning.
Thanks for the posts Peter, but I am afraid that they merely confirm, as far as this debate is concerned, that you haven't got a leg to stand on.
