ANYONE KNOWS THAT POLAND WAS FIGHING WITH GERMAN AND RUSSIA? Im sure that most of foreigners thinks we fight with germany only but its not true . poland was attacked from 3 sides ( prus [german terytory]-north, germany- west, and russia - east.) and we fought very brave !

hey olegalberta ,

you say poland is not civilized and that we´re loosers and puppies..the truth is that YOU russians are loosers and puppies, who has no basic human rights? who gets killed or arrested because of critisising the state even nowadays???you russians!!! your state makes you people loosers! so please, think of your own shit country..you don´t seem to fight for your rights, you just bow and scrape to everything while polish people always fought for their rights!

@xPrussianPrince

Do you think that you are better ? Stronger ? Harder ?

Then buy the Daft Punk discography and go ahead

- bang the wall with your forehead 8000 times, and sing

`I'm harder, better, faster, stronger !! AAARGH !`

You will feel then the same as Werchmacht near Bzura in 1939.

And as I see - you would for sure sit in your armchair and drink

the ugliest beer from October Fest instead die for your nation.

Congratulations.

@xPrussianPrince

Poland lasted 1 month & 5 days.

Germany had double the population of Poland & Then annexed t Austria & Czech giving Germany 3 times the population of Poland.

That was not enough Russians, Slovakians & Ukrainians were also against Poland.

When the Netherlands lasted 4 days.

In the battle of Wizna 720 Poles lasted 3 days against 42,200 Germans.

Then yes 720 Poles in one battle lasted about as long as the Nation of Netherlands did.

@Gravelandart

about killing german people in silesia it's not true, I live here in Silesia since born, Nazi Germany make smth like selfattack to have a reason to attack Poland. Those things did in Radiostation in Gliwice (which was bordercity - was situated on border of Germany and Poland).

During the attack of Germany on it's Radiostation they used a kriminalls from prisions - (they was wearing polish soldiers uniform) - Nazi said that they will be free if they attack Radiostation

1) There is no empirical or forensic evidence of "gas chambers" and concurrent with that fact is the myth of "six million Jews". 2) Kennewick Man found in Washington State in the U.S. predates any indigenous Indians---Kennewick man was or European descent. 3) Yes, blacks commit an inordinate amount of violent crime. It is genetic and not socio-economic. We need racial separation. 4) Hitler invaded Poland on Sept 1,1939 because Germans were being killed in Silesia under Polish control.

@olegalberta I honestly prefer to work as a plumber than be a loafer, and drunk steal from foreigners as they do in Russia. You already have normal toilets or u still poops are to a hole in the floor?
