Lukasz: the lowest estimation is 2,440,000 Polish catholic civilians killed and 3 mln Polish Jews and Polish 160 000 soldiers. In different articles we have 3 mln catholics killed in our country. Liar.
46 ^ Poland Tadeusz Piotrowski Professor of Sociology at the University of New Hampshire has provided a reassessment of Poland’s losses in World War Two. Polish war dead include 5,150,000 victims of Nazi crimes against ethnic Poles and the Holocaust, 350,000 deaths during the Soviet occupation in 1940-41 and about 100,000 Poles killed in 1943-44 during the massacres of Poles in Volhynia by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army. Losses by ethnic group were 3,100,000 Jews; 2,000,000 ethnic Poles; 500,000 Ukrainians and Belarusians.[47] The official Polish government report prepared in 1947 claimed 6,028,000 war victims in German hands (including 123,178 military deaths, 2.8 million Poles and 3.2 million Jews), out of a population of 27,007,000 ethnic Poles and Jews; this report excluded ethnic Ukrainian and Belarusian losses. Losses were calculated for the territory of Poland in 1939, including the territories annexed by the U.S.S.R.[39] The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has reported that in addition to 3 million Polish Jews killed in the Holocaust. "Documentation remains fragmentary, but today scholars of independent Poland believe that 1.8 to 1.9 million Polish civilians (non-Jews) were victims of German Occupation policies and the war",[43][38]; not including deaths caused by the Soviets. This revision of estimated war losses was the topic of articles in the Polish academic journal Dzieje Najnowsze .[42]
So you basically are taking the word of the Communist-era government when you claim that the lowest figure is 2.8 million. Nice to see you staying true to your faith. It's just a pity for you that communism ended when it did, you would have done well under that system.
celinski: It's misleading to say it was a Polish Concentration Camp What you are still refusing to recognise Carol is that Poles ran concentration camps in Poland under the orders of the government of Poland both during and after WWII.
