Are Poles grateful to the Russians for winning the war?

so you would rather your people and culture and the very concept of a polish nation become slowly erased and been nothing more than slaves to the Volkduetch.

I am grateful to uncle Joe for winning the War, Britain would not have won alone.

My parents from Poland and perhaps by grand parents said they
were happier with the Russians than the German

btw, 'uncle' did NOT win the war alone. there were 4 allies who did that.

Are Poles grateful to the Russians for winning the war?

I'm not sure Uncle Sam would have won the war either( Britain would defiantly not have won alone.), had Hitler not invaded Russia, than a stalemate would have ensued, Rommel may well have won in the desert if he had all the Eastern Front troops at his disposal.

Stalingrad is what broke them so yes I am grateful to the Russian war contribution. They could just have easily signed a truce with the Germans like Lenin did with the Treaty of Brest-Litvorsk in 1917 and given away a chunk of their territory

Of course Poles would rather not be dead, but having their freedom taken away again afterwards is barely a substitute.

Is that kinda like saying that Poles should have been grateful to Imperial Russia because the Russians didn't let the Prussians and Austrians have all of Poland in the partitions?

i mostly agree with what you commented, but honestly, do you think poles or anyone else in europe(all countries under us influence) are 'really free'?

i think that is a big lie. maybe it is not felt directly, but think about it. ;)

I would rather live in a communist country than under Nazi occupation. Not ideal but it's like getting a really nasty painful slap and have someone prod you with a stick (Russia) or being shot in both legs and being dunked in Ice cold water and be urinated and shat on and spat on (Nazi Germany)

what would you perfer? I think I ill take the slap and a little prod with a stick and keep my legs.

Oh yeah, Poles have many reasons to be grateful, Katyn is one of them.

The thread is about should Poles be grateful for the Soviet "liberation".

Poles don't have any reason to be grateful to the Soviets at all!!!

not liberation, for winning the war.
Poland was never liberated by the Soviets, Poland was invaded and Poles were enslaved by the Soviets for over 4o years.

yeah, only to be controlled by the Soviets. Just like the Soviets "liberated" the Nazi camps only to reopen (some) them right after the war and kept there their political opponents (mainly Poles).

Sascha, przyznaj sie kacapie pierdolony ze jestes Sovietem i moze bede wtedy z toba rozmawial.

No longer in danger of becoming extinct, if you like

Some say this, some say the opposite.

In essence Poland as a physical nation was liberated by the Russians AND at the same time occupied.

Do happen to have a copy of that plan? I've been looking for one for ages.
