“” “” From the Poles I spoke to they despise the Russians more than they do the Germans. “” “”
And that by the way means the people you were talking to are lacking in moral and intellectual integrity.
The Russians owed them no freedom. If they loved freedom that much they had to fight for it all by itself and win. They were obviously incapable to prevail against the Germans in 1941-1945 and the British they love so much didn’t lift a finger.
We all know what Germans had in plans for the Polish. They viewed them as an inferior race and wanted to work them to death as slave labor then convert their bodies into soap bars and gloves.
They owe the Russians for the very fact they still exist.
They were also unable to prevail against the Russians after the war. The Soviets killed many in Poland after the war because the Poles were fighting against communism.
