Polish, that explains a LOT!
Hmmmm….
Of course you are a good friend so I consider that lightly and meant in humor. But do you know the truth behind all the Polish jokes?
Everyone knows Hitler and his team tried to exterminate the Jews, 6 million of them lost. Almost nobody knows that 2/3 of those Jews were also Polish. Poland always had and has lived in Judeo-Christian harmony, with an equally peaceful Ottoman/Muslim population as well (not radical Islam). All peaceful, educated people. In addition, there were another 4 million Christian and other Polish people exterminated. Hitler really didn’t have any hate for the Jews, that came from Himler, but Hitler carried it out because he wanted the land for further German expansion. The people were just in the way. So as he waged war, he tried to exterminate the people, not conquer them.
Towards the end of the war, Stalin had similar desires for the land. When Stalin and Russia coupled with Germany to overtake Poland, Stalin had all of the military and the Polish leadership put in prison in Russia. School teachers, city councilman and mayors, college professors, the leaders of industry, Government officials, etc. Anyone in a leadership position was removed or killed. Cut off the head of the snake as they say. They wanted everybody else as slave labor.
Backing up to the original thought of Polish jokes, that was propaganda formed and disseminated by Hitler and his team in the early 1930s, so people would not object as much to the massacre of Poles.
Towards the end of the war, when Russia approached Germany through Poland from the east, and the allies were attacking German from the west and south, all the allies coordinated with the viral Polish resistance to support them in a well planned internal uprising. It was planned and approved by all. When the Polish resistance enacted this uprising, Stalin and FDR sat on their hands and let the Poles be massacred. The Polish leadership held by Russia was in Katyan. Google the Katyn Massacre. They were all murdered en masse, brutally, like the massacre scene of Americans in the battle of the bulge movie. None of the allies wanted strong Polish leadership.
Of course Britain was still beat up from the beating they took before and during the war, but when they learned the allies were leaving the Polish resistance to be slaughtered, they mobilized their Air Force and flew Lancaster bombers and B-17s over Poland to crush the German resistance. 50,000 poles armed primarily with handguns, resisted 250,000 well armed Germans, and they won once Britain stepped up.
I’m not calling you out, I took it in humor. But people who truly believe the Polish are uneducated fools? They are, in fact, themselves the fools, because they swallowed Hitler and Himler‘s propaganda, hook line and sinker! Did you know that when Hitler took power, they stopped teaching “history“ in schools, and instead they taught “social science.” Think about it…
Sorry if I jumped too hard, I have been in the middle of Polish and family stuff, real estate stuff here, and there, for the last few weeks, and I guess I was a little sensitive.
Edit: afterthought, Why were the British so loyal to the Polish? Google the British 303 squadron, a/k/a the “Kosciusko” squadron. That “British” fighter squadron of Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes was entirely manned by displaced Polish pilots, mechanics, etc.. They had the highest number of kills, and the highest kill ratio of all British squadrons during the war.
