@OstpreussenTV I've checked your website. It's quite nice, it reminds me of Polish sites about "Kresy" - about old Polish cities like Grodno, Brest, Kėdainiai, Kaunas, Vilnius and Lviv. There exist in Poland many people who sympathize with our former eastern borderlands. But in my opinion it's already lost and we can't change the past. I agree with Willy Brandt on that issue.

[OstpreussenTV]

@RitterDesHimmels1 Finally something we can agree on! :-) Unfortunately a lot of West Europeans (including West Germans) are not aware of the monstrous characters of BOTH totalitarian ideologies of the 20th century.

The Polish and German expellees are actually now cooperating in the European Union of Exiled and Expelled People (EUEEP) (Google for it!) in their common struggle for human rights.

[RitterDesHimmels1]

@OstpreussenTV It's quite obvious that Stalin was as dangerous as Hitler. I do not think that anything can justify soviet crimes on German, Polish, Belorussian or Ukrainian civilians.

[RitterDesHimmels1]

I do not support ethnic cleanings policy or the expulsions of Germans or any other ethnic groups. In my opinion after WWII the boarders shouldn't be changed at all. I know that cities like Breslau or Stettin were indeed German cities. Polish government in exile never wanted to annex such big territories,because Poles knew that it would only make Poland dependent from the Soviet Union. What I've said before about keeping "Kresy" and gaining German territories, was meant only to be a provocation:)

[OstpreussenTV]

@RitterDesHimmels1 It was people like American histrorian Jan Tomasz Gross with Polish-Jewish roots who brought up the topic - and rightly so. It shows even more clearly how absurd it is to use evil deeds committed by one side as a superficial pretext to justify new cimes like the ethnic cleansing of eastern Germany.

[RitterDesHimmels1]

@OstpreussenTV Ohh and for Germans it is typical that you are trying to lay the blame for the war on someone else. It's just like with the propaganda articles like: "Hitlers europäische Helfer beim Judenmord".

[OstpreussenTV]

@RitterDesHimmels1 A typically Polish argumentation: All the others are to blame and we are innocent angels! - It's ridiculous to try and hide behind the allies. The occupation, annexation and ethnic cleansing of eastern Germany was planned long before the war, a war which Poland helped to trigger.

[RitterDesHimmels1]

@RitterDesHimmels1 "there is NO difference" - sorry

[RitterDesHimmels1]

@OstpreussenTV After 1945 there existed no sovereign and free Poland - only a Soviet controlled puppet state. So we cannot talk about a Polish internal policy at that time. The Big Three decided about the expulsions - face the truth. You should be happy, for the destruction of Europe even further German territories should be annexed.

[RitterDesHimmels1]

@OstpreussenTV Kresy (Polish eastern borderlands) were a multi-ethnic land. I will never agree that every territory which was not inhibited in 100% by Poles, should have been annexed by the bloody and criminal Soviet Union.
