Words of thanks towards the 'Federation of Expellees' by Angela Merkel

After starting WWI and WWII, and surrendering unconditionally, the Germans are very lucky to even have a homeland. What chutzpah!

Let them come back - what's stopping them?

Same level: Yes, but did not Stalin win the war? If he had wanted, you would not have a homeland either. You were also in his hands. What Mazel!

But that doesn't mean that this part of the history should be some kind of "forbidden"

and I can't stand it that every f'ucking time someone mentions "expellees" a Pole
get's frothing at the mouth, accusing whole Germany of this and that.

Hey Torqi, where have you been???

Oh, I was doing an undercover job for the government. I could tell you about it
but then I would have to kill you ;)

That's exactly what he did. Are you thick?

You mean sick?

Yes, but did not Stalin win the war? If he had wanted, you would not have a homeland either

They decided, nobody else, even if some beaten countries wanted this (for understandable reason for sure).

Operation Tannenberg (German: Unternehmen Tannenberg) was the codename for one of the extermination actions directed at the Polish people during World War II, part of the Generalplan Ost. Conscription lists (Sonderfahndungsbuch Polen), prepared by Germans already before the war, identified more than 61,000 members of Polish elites: activists, intelligentsia, scholars, actors, former officers, and others, who were to be interned or shot. Members of the German minority living in Poland assisted in preparing the lists.

In the interwar period German minority organizations in Poland such as Jungdeutsche Partei, Deutsche Vereinigung, Deutscher Volksbund and Deutscher Volksverband actively cooperated with Nazi Germany through espionage, sabotage, provocations and political indoctrination. They maintained close contact and were directed by NSDAP, Auslandsorganisation, Gestapo, SD and Abwehr. It is estimated that 25% of the German minority in Poland were members of these organisations.[4]

By October 1938, SD agents were organizing Selbstschutz in Poland. Ethnic Germans with Polish citizenship were trained in the Third Reich in various sabotage methods and guerilla tactics.

Polish historians estimated that the majority of approximately 50,000 Poles killed in the early days of the German occupation were victims of Selbstschutz.[6][4]

The total number of Selbstschutz members in Poland is estimated at 82,000.

The existence of a large paramilitary organization of ethnic Germans with Polish citizenship that helped in the German war against Poland and engaged in widespread massacres of Poles served as one of the reasons for the expulsion of Germans after the war.

Beck argued that, while Poland and Czechoslovakia were forced to respect the rights of their respective German minorities, the Polish minorities in Germany and the Soviet Union were not so protected[8]. In addition, Beck resented that countries, such as Germany[citation needed], used the Minorities Treaty to exert pressure on neighbouring states and to become involved in the internal affairs of Poland

As if Poles get to decide what an expellee is and who is not...

The German Democratic Republic (GDR; German: Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR; more commonly known in English as East Germany) was a self-declared socialist state

You are obsessed Luki...that is so not healthy...

The CDU has yet to say what compensation it wants for the expellees

He is making a mistake by equating the East German government with the German people.

Because that government was Soviet controlled?

we should start new debate about compensations which Germans should pay for Poland.

The party of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel has declared that its countrymen expelled by Poland after the Second World War have a ‘right to a homeland’ and said the deportations should be condemned under international law.

Why do you think they needed armed guards with shooting orders ON THE INSIDE!
