Why is the ethnic cleansing against the German people after WWII not really recognized, even today? The Czechs and a handful of UN officials are the only ones who recognize it as a forced population exchange and treat it as a crime against humanity. It's not even a popular policy in the Czech Republic.
I can understand wanting revenge against them in the immediate aftermath of WWII, but in 2009 Poland protested a museum that was to commemorate the victims.
>Czechs treat it as a crime against humanity source?
Anthony Sullivan
Nietzsche was right to condemn Germans as being the blunders of Europe.
Henry Brown
Polan got it´s arse totally devastated in that war, you can´t really demand any kind of apology from them.
Chase Ortiz
They actually no longer recognize it as one.
Vaclav Havel apologized for it after the fall of the Iron Curtain
Ayden Wilson
it was like removing cancer it had to be done the cost was worth it

>"Germany planned to completely remove the indigenous population of Poland beginning with the newly created Reichsgau Wartheland territory in 1939. According to the Lebensraum aim and ideology, formerly Polish lands were to be taken over by the German military and civilian settlers including Eastern European Volksdeutsche. The "Germanizing" of occupied territories by the Reich was repeatedly condemned by Nuremberg Tribunal which stated that the practice of expelling civilians was "not only in defiance of well-established rules of international law, but in complete disregard of the elementary dictates of humanity."[60] During the occupation of Poland, the number of Poles evicted by the German authorities from their homes is estimated at 2,478,000.[61][62] Up to 928,000 Poles were ethnically cleansed to make way for the foreign colonists.[63]"
>"Himmler promised to eventually deport all Poles to Russia. He envisioned their ultimate end by exposure, malnutrition and overwork possibly in the Pripet Marshes where all Poles were to die during the cultivation of the marshy swamps. Plans for the mass transportation and possible creation of slave labor camps for up to 20 million Poles were also made.[67]"
Dylan Robinson
Germany wasn't asking for an apology, they wanted to build a museum for it within their own borders.
Kayden Hernandez
>"As part of the plan to destroy Poland, the Germans engaged in cultural genocide in which they looted and then destroyed libraries, museums, scientific institutes and laboratories as well as national monuments and historic treasures.[106] They closed down all universities, high schools, and engaged in systematic murder of Polish scholars, teachers and priests.[107] Millions of books were burned, including an estimated 80% of all school libraries, and three-quarters of all scientific libraries.[108] Polish children were forbidden from acquiring education beyond the elementary level with the aim that the new generation of Polish leaders could not arise in the future.[107] According to a May 1940 memo from Heinrich Himmler: "The sole goal of this schooling is to teach them simple arithmetic, nothing above the number 500; writing one's name; and the doctrine that it is divine law to obey the Germans. I do not think that reading is desirable."[107] By 1941, the number of children attending elementary school in the General Government was half of the prewar number.[36] The Poles responded with the "Secret Teaching" (Tajne Nauczanie), a campaign of underground education."
Every time I think I've finished learning all the evil shit germans did there's even more.
Wyatt Allen
>"Tens of thousands were murdered in the German campaign of extermination of the Polish intelligentsia and other elements thought likely to resist (e.g. Operation Tannenberg and Aktion AB). Catholic clergy were commonly imprisoned or otherwise persecuted and many ended up sent to their death in concentration camps.[55][56] Tens of thousands of members of the resistance and others were tortured and executed at the Pawiak prison in Warsaw.[57] From 1941, disease and hunger also began to reduce the population, as the exploitation of resources and labor, terror and Germanization reached greater intensity after the attack on the Soviet Union.[43] Poles were also deported in large numbers to work as forced labor in Germany, or taken to concentration camps.[41] About two million were transported to Germany to work as slaves and many died there.[52][i] Łapanka or random roundup, on streets or elsewhere, was one of the methods practiced by the Nazis to catch prisoners for labor.[58] Several hundred Wehrmacht brothels, for which local non-German women were forcibly recruited, operated throughout the Reich.[59] In contrast to Nazi policies in occupied Western Europe, the Germans treated the Poles with intense hostility and all Polish state property and private industrial concerns were taken over by the German state.[60][61] Poland was plundered and subjected to extreme economic exploitation throughout the war period.[62]"
Jaxon Williams
>"Mass rapes were committed against Polish women and girls including during punitive executions of Polish citizens, before shooting of the women.[88] Additionally, large numbers of Polish women were routinely captured with the aim of forcing them into serving in German military brothels.[89] Mass raids were conducted by the Nazis in many Polish cities with the express aim of capturing young women, later forced to work in brothels attended by German soldiers and officers.[89] Girls as young as 15 years old, who were ostensibly classified as "suitable for agricultural work in Germany", were sexually exploited by German soldiers at their places of destination.[89]"
Germans should be grateful for not being exterminated like the plague that they are.

If only Kaiser Wilhelm II hadn't been a mediocre man in a position that required someone capable to oversee things, the major disasters of the 20th century could have been avoided. All that horrible shit that happened in the second world war? A direct result of the horrible shit that happened in the first world war, a direct result of "uncle Albert's" incompetence and inferiority complex. People vilify and hate on Hitler, when they should be directing their hatred more often at Wilhelm's mustached mug.

Polish crimes against Germans are fucking nothing. It's like some guy complaining he got punched after he raped and murdered your wife.
Germans should shut the fuck up, they were treated incredibly lightly for what they did and they should be thankful for that.

He attributed Americas success to Germans, and loved that they hated Jews and Catholics. He even considered the British as relatives to the Germsn people. He had no qualms about going to war with them, but had bigger enemies in Russia. He was gonna leave them alone until Communism was gone.
Carson Lewis
No, they don't.

soviet troops packed up & sat down in east germany,east berlin,in 45,there they remained until 89-91, the bombing of germany was largely done by allies,in view of genocidal german treatment of eastern slavs,murder of 6,000,000 jews,germany brought hell upon themselves opie. the west also recognized stalins' regime for it's totalitarian nature,and determined to stay put in west germany,come whatever the provocation from CCCP,the berlin blockade evidenced that they had germans' backs,in the operation vittles,food medicine eggs,coal potatoes on boeing freighters landed one every 3 minutes from 48 oct for about 4 months into 49. most of those pilots volunteered,30 of them were killed during the operation,pilots also made candy & misc doodads wrapped & bow tied that they dropped onto playgrounds and parks. Germany post war had sporadic troubles from werewolves,= ex nazis,ex waffen SS who never went along with the doenitz negotiated surrender.most amis behaved toward germans as rommel towards pows on the allied side,correctly not always with enthusiasm but decently compared to what germans got from the eastern kameraden. there was,,no,, german genocide

I really don't see how anyone can have a problem with this policy.

DAILY REMINDER THAT POLAND MOBILIZED ITS TROOPS FIRST IN AUGUST OF 1939, WHICH AMOUNTED TO A DE FACTO DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST GERMANY
On top of that, Poland previously made multiple offerings towards France during the 20's and 30's to invade Germany, this was known to Berlin since a long time.
Then there was also:
- Countless polish atrocities commited against ethnic germans between 1918 1939 (bromberg bloody sunday et al) - Violation of the minority treaties by Poland in 1937 - Britain and France delivering a guarantee to Poland that they'd invade Germany if Germany defends itself against polish agression, which made Poland decline all the german peace offerings (this also violated the polish-german friendship treaty from 1934 btw) - Poland ignoring the proposed 16 point peace plan of hitler
etc etc
Jason Perez
Poland is a misunderstanding. In fact, they are not even the Europeans in strict sense, meaning European as in bearing the responsibility and understanding of European interests. Poland has always been an subordinate country, on one side sucking German dick, on the other side -- Russian one, some kind of "novice" europeans, who are full of inferiority complexes, hysteria and obsessity neuroses.
A German policy of planned extermination of Eastern people groups is merely a legend. The so-called 'General Plan East' penned by the Baltic German physician Dr. Hans Ehlich was the product of a single individual and was never taken seriously within the German leadership. Only after the war, the polish propaganda used atrocity propaganda stories (to "justify" stealing german land and slaughtering + expelling the german natives) about this alleged "plan" and added numerous counterfeiting of the document to give the semblance of justification of the expulsion of Germans from their homes in Eastern Germany and the theft of German assets. The voluntary or forced recruitment of Eastern workers in the occupied territories of the Soviet Union was the result of the tremendous needs of German defense industry workers, which was considerably enhanced by the allied terrorist bombing campaign against German civilians. The war from 1943 onwards would no longer be managed without the Eastern workers. The recruitment drive for these workers had nothing to do with an "extermination policy", because it urgently needed these people for labour critical to the german war effort. German economic aid for the occupied eastern territories amounted to over 3 billion reichsmarks in the years 1941 to 1943, accounted for 1% of the German GDP in those years. It is assumed that the German Empire in the occupied Eastern Territories economically invested much more into it as it has brought out in terms of resources and labour

The deportation and expulsion and the mass murder of the ethnic Germans before and at the beginning of the war in Poland was by no means confined to the "Bloody Sunday of Bromberg", which is only too often downplayed or even denied outright today. In this book the reader experiences almost first-hand the terrible fate of tens of thousands of ethnic Germans in Poland at the outbreak of the war in 1939. This English translation, published here for the first time in 2004, commemorates the 65th anniversary of these events that are an eternal stain on the family bibles of all subsequent Polish generations!
