When was that? 1939? 1941?
Poland to Germany, “Sucks to be you!”
Many Germans referred to the nineteenth century as "die gute alte Zeit" (the good old days) when the country was prosperous and a leading contributor to Western culture. And then there was the post-WWII chancellorship of Konrad Adenauer, a great conservative, the architect of Germany's Economic Miracle that transformed the country into an economic powerhouse.
But the miracle began to fade after Adenauer's death in 1967 when Germany embraced socialism. By 1971, when I was living there, Muslims were already moving into the country as "guest workers."
