Not only in WW2, but also in WW1, which had a more nasty character than the trench-war in the West.Actually on the note of the name "World War": as a historian, I don't like the term World War 1 and 2 for Germany's attempts to gain hegemony (although WW1 was more of an opportunity by chance due to the last twitches of the dying empire of Austria-Hungary) as France's attempts to gain hegemony in the late 18th, early 19th century were basically also turning into World Wars, considering what was perceived as the World at that time. So, a better description of the conflicts between 1914 and 1945 -the 30-year war of the 20th century- would be WW2 and WW3, strictly speaking.M-G
Poznan has much different expirience with Germans ... than other parts of Poland, all in all Poznan won over the Germans in economic struggle (when you will be in Poznan you will notice that there are old Polish banks and old German banks, old Polish theatres and old German theaters ...) and Merkel grandfather is Pole from Poznan. Personaly I don't like Germans ... we will see what will happen.
