Quoting: clunkshift
Poland should be pleased that their international standing, and fair legal system is recognised to the point where even the most spurious legal claim can be discussed.
If I were in the Polish judiciary, I would happily discuss these cases for the next 20 years provided that the German plaintiffs pay for their court costs.
Of course that would mean that the plaintiffs may not live long enough to receive their claim anyway - so problem solved!
Now you see the benefits of a free and democratic society.
That would be great... but those problems won't be resolved before polish courts unfortunately.

The whole situation is ridiculous... What those Germans try to do is to separate the cause and the effect. They try to separate the fact that they started the war with the later German exodus as if one didn't have anything to do with the other one. Suddenly, all those Germans that were forced to emigrate were all anti-nazi. Majority of them fled because they were afraid of the Red Army. Of course, the Russians won't pay for it now. Nobody won’t even mention it. The people that will pay for it will be the Poles that had a cheek to move into their abandoned homes. Just as a side news for you, those Poles that later replaced those Germans were nailed down to leave their homes by Russians as their land became part of todays Ukraine, Belarus and Lithuania. What have they done wrong to deserve all this? They didn't start the war. It wasn't their idea to move from their homes to Szczecin etc... Actually, it weren't even the new established Polish government that shifted the border more to the west, but it was Stalin and Roosevelt’s idea. (Churchill also was present, but as somebody rightfully noticed before, he didn't had much to say there), and yet it will be those people, and they children that will suffer from this situation.
PS: The biggest laugh is that the head of the Federation of Expellees, Erika Steinbach, was born on Polish land in 1941 during the German occupation, and still has the nerves to call herself an expellee!!!! WTF? Her father is from western-central Germany, her mother is from Berlin, and yet, she feels as a ******* victim because she was born on the land that was annexed to Germany after the German attack! The world is mad I tell you!!!
