  • Good, then we both agree the source doesn’t support the “hundreds of thousands murdered in Poland” claim.

    Lol, if you want to try and move the goalposts from my “murdered Poles” to your “in Poland”, I can only say that’s just childish. Do you think it’s better if they died in Russia?

    No, I really cannot pretend knowing more about defeating fascism in Europe that the nation which ultimately defeated fascism, at the IMMENSE cost of 25 million lives in the struggle against Nazism.

    Hexbear incoming. “They helped defeat the nazis so the bottom line is we can’t criticize them”.

    Imagine how we would look at the US if they had decided it was more profitable to just team up with the nazis instead


  • That’s a book on migrations and deportations, not a book on casualties, it doesn’t seem to support a claim of “hundreds of thousands murdered” which you made in your previous comment, could you please elaborate?

    Again, you’re conflating murdered with deported

    It most certainly includes direct casualty numbers as well, for Poland and many other conflicts.

    Great, please name one of them that doesn’t imply complete occupation of Poland by Nazis

    I just can’t envision an alternative reality

    Well, I think that’s the main issue here. Siding with the nazis, attacking Poland in the rear when they were fighting the nazis, committing horrible crimes against the Polish population and POWs … You really, really cannot imagine not having to do even one of those


  • Well I’m not sure if that’s from the book you suggested, but if it is I must say the language is a tad bit romanticized lol. Might I suggest better sources

    I don’t know if the other three chapters you suggested get any better but in your quote it only argues that collaborating with the nazis was “their only option” if you first agree to start from the premise that they *checks notes* “just had to claim those territories” to which they “had a far better right”

    Imagine if the UK or the US had allied with the nazis and attacked Western Europe in the back, out of fear and begging them for spoils… (as some politicians argued, I might add)?
