I would think Poland has alike bigger beef with Russia than Germany...

I find it amazing that after 80 years feelings still run so hot...

Merkel as a concentration camp prisoner is pretty over the edge..

You ought to check out some of the "War Between The States" threads on FR sometime!

Actually they dislike both :)

The difference is that the Germans were more effective than the Russians and also, the Russians are still linguistically similar in comparison to German.

Quite frankly, come visit Warsaw once -- I never realised why Poles separated history into "before the war" and "after the war" until I moved to wa-wa --> on every street corner you will find some memorial or the other that says "on this site in xx 1944, yy number of Poles were killed by the Germans"

I find it hard that they can forgive Germans for that...
