There are still monuments to fallen Soviet soldiers in Germany

Like in the middle of Berlin.

Hi Par35!

I would think the freeper above trying to compare Russia vs Poland to Russia vs Germany would be a little off.

Russia and Germany had a long history of killing each other and then making dirty deals on the side, specifically against Poland. Russia and Germany sided to divide Poland between them. Of course then there is the deal made by the Allies giving Poland to Russia at war’s end. Poland suffered some pretty raw deals and she is still our best ally.

I would be in favor of Poland ridding itself of anything related to the Soviets.

FYI- the Thomasville Rose festival is this weekend and the Bluegrass festival in Ochlocknee is next week. Don’t you miss it here? :-)

Like in the middle of Berlin.

I've been to that one - twice. One time there I asked a group of about six school kids, maybe 7 or 8yo, to stand next to me and have my picture taken. Regs had us in Class A uniform.

Next thing I know their teacher is flying toward us, screaming at the kids and hurrying them off.

I asked my buddy, a German linguist, what she said and basically it was something akin to, "How dare you have your picture taken with a capitalist pig!".

Eight years old ....
