Shermy,..... Baby,
Can you grasp that Gods green earth has been in play and will always remain in play?
Is it somewhere in the old testament that the muscovites are to own eastern Europe and push the little slavs to the west?
This interesting post about the ecological changes brought about by a group pushing civilization eastward OVER CENTURIES should be viewed in the context of the THOUSANDS of German women and children being found executed in mass graves every year in sight of the fortress of Marienburg.
I have little idea what you are trying to say.
The area in question was probably originally (whatever that means, in this case sometime around 1000) settled by non-Slavic pagan Prussian tribes, who were conquered and probably assimilated by the Germanic Teutonic Knights.
The Knights were then conquered and their land taken by the Poles.
Several centuries later (1770s) the Prussians (good Germans by then) took control of the land when they combined with Austria and Russia to dismember Poland.
The Poles eventually got it back when the Germans lost WWII and the Red Army pushed both Poland’s east and west borders west a couple hundred miles.
My original comment was with regard to the claim that the area had never been Polish till recently. This is flatly untrue.
I am well aware of the massacres of Germans in the last days of WWII. I don’t think any of this was a good thing, but many if not probably the vast majority of these Germans had been perfectly happy to follow in the footsteps of the Wehrmacht and move into the houses of evicted or killed Poles and Jews. This was explicit German policy. They were eventually going to exterminate the Poles as they were the Jews. Just keep the Poles around for a generation or so as slaves.
Life bites. When a nation initiates aggressive genocidal warfare and makes the ultimate mistake of losing the war, it tends to get genocided right back. Not right, but that’s what happens.
It’s kind of silly to keep score, but it is well known the Germans killed upwards of 12M innocent civilians during the war. Ethnic Germans killed during the expulsions and revenge attacks are estimated at .5M to 2M. And it is not unfair to point out that the Germans started it.
