Poland says Germany refused talks on World War Two reparations

  1. Claiming Germany still wants to treat Poland as a vassal state? I’m no European but doesn’t that seem like kind of a stretch? Am I wrong?

  2. Well maybe because there isn’t anything to talk about?! The whole thing got settled – if not prior, than at the very least with the 2+4 Treaty.

  3. With UK out, it’s Poland’s turn now to carry the torch of destroying EU from the inside.

  4. I know Poland doesn’t have the best reputations these days due to their Conservative way of living but if any nation deserves reparations from WW2 it’s Poland.

    Germany committed a huge amount of war crimes against the Polish people, the effects of which no doubt continue to this day. 5-6 million Polish people simply do not exist as a result of Germany’s war crimes.

    They aren’t wrong to try and discuss reparations. Technically speaking Poland didn’t receive reparations due to being forced to deny them by the soviet union and hence the argument can be made that by no longer being tied to the soviet union. Poland therefore has the right to discuss reparations.

  5. Poland never expected anything from these talks. It’s part of their internal political agenda for upcoming elections.

  6. Germany fucked up Poland pretty good to be honest. And USSR took all the cream in process when war ended…

    Territory, factory’s displacements…

    In my opinion Poland should equally demand satisfaction from Britain, USA, Germany and USSR.

    But then, they didn’t liberated themselves but Allies and USSR did, so let the bygones be bygones?

  7. For people trying to understand how much the polish government hates Germany: When former Prime minister Donald Tusk had the *audacity* to address the german people in a speech *in german*, the PiS-party (opposition back then) clipped a part where he said “For Germany,…”, put that on repeat, and played it everywhere. [Clip in question](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31ioyrP18Uk).

    With all due respect for their aid to Ukraine: they’re a bunch of **hardcore nationalist populists that erode the rule of law and basically banned abortions** – and everytime I see Zelenskiy cuddle with Duda, i get fucking frightened.

  8. Sounds like an internal matter. Reinstall Prussia as independent state. Then negotiate with them. Easy. It’s in Poland’s hands.

  9. The more I read about the Polish German relations the more I get the feeling that a huge part of the polish society has a major victim complex.

    Like seriously they accuse us of treating them like a vassal state? How do you even come up with that shit?

    Parts of their society seems to have convinced themselves that Germany is out to destroy Poland when in reality barely anyone here gives a fuck about them
