I can’t buy that people were simply afraid.......

What, exactly, are you looking for? Do you want the Poles of today to be punished? You seem very determined to establish some sort of blame to Polish name. I would really like to know the source of your animus toward Poland.

I would like to think that it's only "oops, I made a mistake out of lack of knowledge and I need to fight to the end to prevent me being seen to have made a mistake" and not Putin fandom -- the latter I strongly doubt. It's mostly sheer "let's get them caflix"
