A dispute over ancient German treasure looted by Soviet troops at the end of the Second World War has overshadowed a visit by Angela Merkel to Russia.

Killing Germans was wrong....forcing them back to Germany was not.
Internal Revenue Security.
The way this administration is, all capitalist
enterprises ARE under under their jurisdiction.
Always remember, you cannot have organs of internal
security without an internal threat to the state.
If there isn’t one, they will find one if only to
justify their existance.
That is the problem with ALL Obama’s Stateorgs.
Koenigsberg was part of Germany.
Feh.
Really...had not the victors of WWI been so vindictive towards Germany, Germany might not have been seduced by the vile songs of the NAZI’s and silently nodded as the NAZI’s wreaked havoc all over Europe.
Europe ‘’asked’’ for WWII and got it.
In spades.
And Kiev was once part of Poland, so what’s your point....lands change hands over time due to war, WWII was no different.
You said ‘forcing Germans’ back to Germany was fine.
But Koenigsberg was German. So it wasn’t for Stalin about ‘forcing Germans to Germany’, it was about gobbling up more land for himself, taking over parts of Germany and Poland and all of Eastern Europe.
That was the legacy of FDR.
We just stole the scientists (and the flying saucers.)
Which is why we had The Marshall Plan after WWII.
Never, never, say never. My grandfather was from Lwow, I KNOW it will be Polish again.
If I had my way, I would restore the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Who knows. History has taken some weird turns before.
Trade it for Königsberg.
Past Calais, it's all wogs....
Berliners call the Russian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier there, the “Tomb of the Unknown Looter”....

Thanks afraidfortherepublic. The USSR stole priceless ancient artifacts, and lied about it for decades, which isn't surprising at all, because the Soviet regime was entirely criminal. Obviously the Trojan War artifacts should go back to Berlin, period. And no more shilly-shallying because of the Amber Room. |

Konigsberg and it’s area was a center of Junker aristocracy aka Prussia. In short, it was a core of notorious German militarism for centuries.
Russians were fully aware of this fact and for that very reason they ethnically cleansed it.
It seems like worked. There is no German militarism anymore, at least they weren’t in state of aggressive war with someone since 1945, which might be the the longest peaceful period for Germans’ neighbors in 500 years.
I think it is correct to call them eurowennies now.
Yes, ethnic cleansing is just so awesome isn’t it. It’s a good thing Hitler was Prussian too!
Who tells ethnic cleansing is good? And Hitler wasn’t Prussian but Junkers were eager to serve his cause and aren’t innocent for that reason.
You just did. You praised the ethnic cleansing of Germans in Germany by Stalin. He was amazing, wasnt he?
“Hitler wasnt Prussian.”
What was he then? Shouldn’t Stalin have ethnically cleansed those who were responsible for starting the second world war?
I didn’t! Hitler was Austrian.
