I totally agree with you Sca, I could not possibly agree with you more.  I understand that Nazi Germany was the aggressor in Europe.  There is the problem that misunderstanding people now equate German nationalism with Nazism because the Nazis were the aggressors in Europe (perfect example is das lied der Deutsche.  What I think is the biggest question mark of the whole era is what if it had of been another party to have ruled Germany, one that didn't attack Jews or minorities. What if they had of taken German inhabited lands back after their loss at Versailles? would it be considered more acceptable now because it was not a war of conquest like Hitler's war was? 

 ::as for your remarks Xx236, we are talking about what happened to Germans here, not Poles, you have made the stereotypical nationalist remarks as seen on talk:expulsion of Germans after WWII and elsewhere.  How many times must you be told? Two wrongs don't make a right, it doesn't matter here.  To you, it is always about the Poles, you always have to insert them when we are not talking about them. from the sentence From a Polish point of view they are rather too German, because they say relatively little about the historical and political contex. we all know you obviously mean that they don't provide the same excuses as the Polish Government has.
