]Poles took about 10% of German territory
History, history! We're flunking it. Nothing was "taken", nobody "took" (without permission , that is.)! It was given!

Very well said and true.
Just let me add that the latent polish
sense of inferiority doesn`t make it
easier to get along with them on a
eye-to-eye base these days... they just often overact.
Hun,
having no probs with Oder-Neisse
You are really common joker and poor sociologist. Germans also have many things to say about Poland and Poles but in fact they know nothing about it and mostly never been there. They always talking about “good relationships” and in fact doing everything to keep status quo and your “smart” post is only next proof.
Sorry, but this is my personal experience, both in Poland and with the polish guys who are working here.
No offense intended,
my regards,
Hun
I really doubt that Germany wants to open the WWII war reparations issue. There isn't enough money in the world to settle the damages they caused.
Oddly enough, when I saw the soap reference, THAT was my first thought, too...

Yes, please see posts 36 and 37.
Maybe you misunderstood their behavior, maybe they simply just don’t like Germans cause my personal experience is that mostly they are uncultured peoples, like tourists which have problems with their behavior even in church, in the middle of ceremony they are speaking loudly and made photos (week by week), or like children from high school in exchange when they were sat in the tram when old peoples stood in front of them. I even don’t mention present policy. Maybe this was your wishes thinking?
Give my a break, you are the next specialist of polish sociology? If you don’t know, I tell you that Poland won MANY wars with Germany and Russia too (we have even Moscow for two years) and those two take all our lands only when they cooperated together, this was always key to victory.
Joseph my boy, you can be sure that I don't have any complexes and fears.
You should stay in your room in Virginia, because it's your only sphere of influence.

It seems, krauts are suffering from the acute case of Let's-invade-Poland Compulsive Disoder...
Hi Lukasz, I, my wife and another couple plan to Fly into Tegel, drive to Gdansk(staying in Sopot for several days) the first of Sept. before going south to Torun and Poznan and back to Berlin.. Is it foolhardy to attempt to visit Kallingrad? Is the border wait time really bad? Is there anything left of Koenigsberg after we get there? Is Catherines Amber room there or in St Pete? This kind of information is hard to come by for us. Would appreciate your opinion of the best division of 12 days along this route. Thanks in advance
As Grzegorz 246 I'm a little bit surprissed with Your post. I must admit, that I feel dissapointed, because reading You previous comments Your seemed to me to be a sound, normal German (I mean not green-socialst) conservative guy. And now I found something like this.
Of course, I can undrestand that we in Poland and You in Germany can have different historical education but there are some limits I think. I fully agree with Grzegorz's remarks regarding to Paris. Mr Koehler was born on Polish soil, occupied by the Nazis, that in neither case can be named as German. And You maybe don't agree, but in my opinion it's just strange, that after 50 years and after having killed about 5-6 million of the Poles, after devastating our country, some Germans remind now, that we owe them anything.
And - last but not least - we weren't the ones who decided to move the Germans to the West. It was decided in Yalta, by Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill. Nobody asked us if we wanted Wroclaw or Szczecin in exchange for Wilno or Lwow.

"W tedy"? learn to speak your own tongue, pal!
