Poland Tasks Lawmakers With Estimating German War Reparations
The Local ^ | 30 September 2017

Posted on 10/01/2017 3:49:12 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Poland's governing conservatives have set up a parliamentary committee tasked with looking into the extent of World War II reparations they claim is owed by Germany, the new body's head said Friday.

"We want to begin work in the Polish parliament that will result in an analysis of the estimated amount that Germany owes Poland," the committee's presiding lawmaker Arkadiusz Mularczyk told the Polish news agency PAP.

The member of the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party added that there is no set date for the committee to produce its results.

The issue of war reparations -- for years considered as settled – was revived in July by PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski.

78 years ago.

Isn't there some form of statute of limitations???

If not, maybe force Rome to pay reparations for everything the Romans did 2000 years ago

The Poles are coming up with a number in response to the vile Merkel and her wish to fine Poland for not taking in the Muslim invaders she invited to destroy Europe.

No, you have to add in the Eastern half of Pomerania, Posen-West Prussia, and the Southern half of East Prussia...

Silesia had been historically part of Poland for Centuries.

The Soviets stole more land from Poland than Poland got from the Reich.

> “maybe force Rome to pay reparations for everything the Romans did 2000 years ago”

Reg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Territories that now will remain European as the rest of Germany is ceded to Islam.

The only reason the Poles are doing this is to push back the Germans from trying to fill Poland with Islamic scum bent on jihad.

You guys attacked Germany and Russia about 5 minutes after you became a country in 1920. (REF Freikorps 1918 and Russo-Polish War 1920. and you did not run the death camps but were not concerned about turning in Jews. Be thankful you have a free country and STFU.

Freaking Germany owes Poland every drop of blood in their bodies.

It’s a good response. Yes, let’s refresh everyone about what Germany did.

Whatever number Germany comes up with as a punitive fine, Poland should multiply it by at least 10. And then say “That’s just the first installment, we’ll let you know how much more it is. Would you like to levy any more fines?”

So if someone steals from me, I can steal from someone else in compensation?

As for the historical argument, it’s what the Mexicans are also saying about the southwest US.

If you’re going to redraw borders based on who had them centuries earlier, I guess we better give the US back to the Indians.
