Germans want WWII compensation from Poland

[Guest Cerebus]

I did a double take when I heard about this:

 

Increasing German pressure on the Poles for an admission of the wrongs done to Germans at the end of the war and for some form of material compensation are causing intense resentment and mistrust in Poland, where 6 million people died during the war and whose invasion by Hitler in 1939 triggered the outbreak of the conflict.

 

 

The Germans who put Hitler in power. The Germans who kept Hitler in power. The Germans who did nothing as Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and other "sub-humans" were led off to be slaughtered worse than animals.

 

THESE Germans want compensation from WW II??? Take a number assholes, I believe you'll be before about 500 million for a better claim.

 

I loved this part especially:

 

Some 12 million Germans were kicked out of central Europe, many of them killed, at the war’s end, when Europe’s borders were redrawn by the allies. Poland, in particular, was literally lifted from east to west and transplanted on to territory that for centuries had been peopled by Germans.

 

The rightwing Prussian Trust organisation, which represents the families of expropriated and resettled Germans, has been launching private lawsuits in Poland for the return of lost property, believing that Poland’s accession to the EU in May will make it easier for Germans to reclaim their former homes.

 

That is a can of shit you don't want to open. There was the "Hey You Don't Exist Anymore" partition where Prussia, Russia, and Austria simply declared Poland to be theirs.

 

If you really want to get into it the land that the Prussian Trusts's squatter ancestors occupied for a time used to be called Pomerania. Before that, it was populated by Slavic tribes including the Kascubians, from whom I am descended. My name was there long before the Tuetons made you “Prussians". And you know what I’m extremely happy your country doesn’t exist anymore.

 

And to the Guardian: Poland was not “literally lifted from east to west and transplanted". Its eastern territories were carved-up to create Ukraine and Belarus. The Poles who were displaced from those territories settled onto Western lands generously forced from the Germans after their butchering.

 

Once again, I hate people.

Yes, I hope the EU, UN and the rest of the world doesn't forget why Germany had those lands taken back from it in the first place.

Germany was fortunate: It was the antagonist in two world wars, lost both and is still allowed to exist.

Wow, this is a new one. The INVADING country wants compensation.

 

Gee what's next, they want their reparations back from Holocaust victims too?

If you read... it's about the people killed etc, AFTER the war.

If these people expect me to feel bad for them, after they sat back and did nothing during government-sanctioned mass genocides, I have three words for them: "Go fuck yourself."

There were plenty of Germans who helped the Jews etc. Also.. would you say anything to Hitler and the SS?

 

I sure as fuck wouldn't.

 

Pretty ignorant.

During the early years of WWII, most of the German populace lived in the very definition of high society, while the people their government subjugated lived in abject poverty and starvation. Defend that.
