A reminder that just because the Poles were eventually victims of German aggression, it does not mean that they were themselves unwilling to use aggression against a weaker nation when convenient.
We have a modern tendency to assume that all victims are saints. Just not true.
Yeah, just like our invasions of Panama, Iraq, Kuwait, Vietnam, Mexico. Oh, when the Saints go marching in!
“We have a modern tendency to assume that all victims are saints”
True, but it’s way beyond that of course.
We are totally and abjectly ignorant of real history in this country.
We base our understanding solely upon the propaganda which ultimately proved the most successful and thus has been repeated exponentially and accepted as fact.
There is nothing in being oppressed that makes the oppressed virtuous, just the reverse.
I am pretty well informed about history, but this piece of Polish aggression seems to have been whitewashed right out of the history books.
When Hitler took the rest of Czechoslavakia, Poland and Hungary took pieces of the country with German acquiescense.
