“Just have the courage to state the truth openly and
without embarrassment! It will introduce doubt into the soul of the
person listening. Folly seeks flight when exposed to the air of doubt.
You have no idea what can often be achieved by means of a single word.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
GERMAN were the parents and grandparents of
NICHOLAS COPERNICUS, the formulator of the modern concept of the cosmos.
GERMAN was the territorial association which he joined in 1496 as a student in Bologna.
GERMAN (in addition to scientific Latin) was every word he ever bequeathed to the world.
THUS the German people salutes its great son,
500 years after his birth.

With regards to the theme of my remarks:
Poland and Falsifications of Polish History
I would like to begin with a few remarks about myself
personally, for the purpose of explaining why I am so familiar with
circumstances in Poland.
I was born and grew up in former Congress Poland,
which was, at that time, annexed to Czarist Russia. Both my own
experiences, and those of my forefathers, date back to the period prior
to the First World War. I learned a great deal from reports from my
parents and grandparents, and much from my own experience. My family
only settled in Bromberg, West Prussia after the First World War. Many
thousands of German families unwilling to live in a Polish state
following the restoration of Poland did the same at that time,
attempting to reach the German Reich by moving to territory granted to
Germany by plebiscite. After the first territories subjected to
plebiscites achieved overwhelming majorities of up to 97 and 98%, the
Poles prevented all further plebiscites. Upper Silesia, despite a clear
German majority, was terrorized by Polish rebellions, during which time
German residents were repeatedly attacked for so long that Upper Silesia
was partitioned by the League of Nations as the result of French
pressure and French extortion. West Prussia was therefore lost without a
plebiscite. We were therefore forced to become Polish citizens. I
experienced life in Poland and suffered enough there to be well aware of
the Polish national character from my own experience. In Germany,
people know very little, or absolutely nothing, of the nature and
objectives of the Poles; all sorts of lies and slanders are naively
accepted as revealed truths. I would therefore like to educate people in
this regard, since eventual understanding can only come about as a
result of an exact knowledge of the history and development of the
Poles. Truth on both sides is a precondition to any reconciliation. As
long as one side continues to lie without restraint, and the other is
compelled to keep silent, for whatever reasons, there will be no
reconciliation and no reparation of injustice. Lies destroy all approach
to reconciliation. Only the truth on both sides can exert a healing
influence.
I therefore wish to make the Poles comprehensible to
you in their cruel reality, in all their doings. In so doing, I must
also discuss the historical facts.
An evil proverb referred to the eternal enmity
between Poles and Germans and Poles has existed among the Polish people
for decades. The proverb states: Póki ś wiat ś wiatem, Polak Niemcowi nie bedzie bratem. In translation, this means: As long as the world exists, a Pole will never be a brother to the Germans --
a truly malicious saying, which has no equivalent in German-speaking
regions. This proverb is an expression of the great vehemence of Polish
hatred.
What are the origins of this merciless hatred? Is there any historical justification for it? No, not at all.
Such abysmal hatred is foreign to the German soul. On
the German side, people have always been prepared to build bridges and
help in any way. This is a fact which anyone can repeatedly verify, even
today, when the same people who expelled us from our homes and farms,
who plundered us and even murdered many of us, seek -- and obtain -- our
assistance. The inefficient Polish economy is supported by German
assistance in sums running into the billions, while the German
population donates thousands of tons of food. Before me is a copy of a
document from the "Komisja Charytatywna Episkopatu Polski" from
Kattowitz, dated 10 April 1981, in which the auxiliary bishop, Czeslaw
Domin, Chairman of the Charitable Committee of the Conference of Polish
Bishops, confirms that 700 tons of food had already been received,
intended for the people of his homeland. He also confirms that he is
aware that he is dependent on assistance from neighboring countries. The
assistance received from these neighboring countries, is nevertheless
alleged to be but “a drop in the ocean”. What this really means is:
“Send more”. And we Germans do send more.
Months have passed since the letter of 10 April 1981,
and we Germans have collected money to help Poland all this time.
People fall head over heels all over themselves out of pure pity:
ecclesiastical institutions collect, schools collect, private persons
collect, associations collect, proclamations to contribute are posted in
hospitals and banks, a fixed contribution of 25 DM per assistance
package is even demanded from church pulpits. Anything less isn’t
enough! And the Germans contribute overwhelmingly. Thousands of tons of
assistance are sent to Poland in road-trains. Another final proof that
the Germans do not hate the Poles, nor have they ever in their long
history. But what thanks do we get for all this from Poland? Only
renewed hatred, since nothing in the world generates more hatred than
when people are repeatedly compelled, as a result of their own
incompetence, to accept gifts and assistance, which is, after all,
perceived as mere alms, in order to survive.
But Poland is not a charity case. Poland didn’t come
into need as a result, for example, of earthquakes, floods, hurricanes
or even overpopulation of the territory. No natural catastrophe is
responsible for the present situation in Poland, but rather, the
proverbial Polish economy, the incompetence of the leadership classes
and their corruption in every respect. Poland is not poor, but is on
fruitful soil, since with East Prussia, East Pomerania, East
Brandenburg, Silesia and Danzig, it came into possession of almost
103,000 square kilometers consisting of territories which had, for the
most part, once been the granaries of Germany. The territories of West
Prussia and Posen alone should be producing surpluses -- just as they
once did. With the takeover of German territories by Polish
administration, including the coal and iron ore reserves of Upper
Silesia and our flourishing industries and harbors, Poland possessed all
the preconditions for a sound economy. But a people which merely
distils the thousands of tons of potatoes and wheat in vodka and then
simply drinks it, is naturally unprepared, and unable, to work for its
living.
Regardless of these considerations, it must be
observed that Poland is not suffering from starvation, as is often
implied. There are supply difficulties due to poor organization, but
there is no starvation. Other forces are at work here, but a new type of
plundering of the German economy. And the docile Germans fall for it.
They give and give, demanding nothing in return -- for example, not even
exit visas for the hundreds of thousands of ethnic Germans compelled to
remain in Poland, in violation of their human rights. These ethnic
Germans, compelled to remain and work in virtual slavery, while young
Poles leave their country in droves expecting a warm welcome in Germany
and Austria. These young economic refugees, who come to us with their
exit visas in order, are not the slightest bit modest in demanding our
assistance; on the contrary, they make arrogant demands – doesn’t that
tell us something? Any municipality compelled to accept them can tell
you what a headache they are.
The nature of the Poles is revealed by an incident,
reported upon by the Deutsche Wochenzeitung of 4 September 1981. While
the Poles accept our assistance with both hands, Polish hack writers
dare to spit in our faces. Thus, the newspaper "Polnische Perspektiven"
took advantage of the Prussian Exhibition to allow Marian Podkowinski to
write:
"History has handed down its negative
judgement about Prussia. The present attempt at resuscitation should
almost be regarded as the desecration of a corpse. It would be more
reasonable to allow a broad silence to reign over the Prussian corpse.
In the interests of the Germans as well. Tilsit should, in particularly,
be of the same significance for the Germans as Poltava for the Swedes,
in case anybody is ever interested in archeology."
And while payment of German assistance was running
full-tilt and our media were informing us that this had already exceeded
the sum of 22 million DM, we read the following under the heading
"Television Shows Anti-German War Films" in the daily newspaper "Die
Rheinpfalz" of 18 December 1981:
"Almost the only thing broadcast for
entertainment consists of war films showing the crimes of the Germans
during WWII. TV series about brave young Poles fighting the German Order
of the Teutonic Knights are even featured as weekly children’s
programs. Almost the only thing you hear on the radio is march music."
The decisive battle against the Teutonic Knights took
place in 1410. That was 570 years ago, but the Poles are still
inoculating their children with hatred of the Teutonic Knights, even
today!
And we thank them for their hatred with foodstuffs worth many millions of marks!
That is the coin with which the
Poles have paid for German assistance since the very birth of the Polish
state. But when has a debtor ever loved his creditor, especially when
there is no possibility of repayment of the debt? We Germans ought
finally to take note of this, and act accordingly. The Russians and
French have never done anything for the Poles, and -- for this very
reason – are not only not hated, but are respected.
We must finally fathom the origins of this hatred in
order to understand all the later developments and false attitudes of
the Poles for the Germans. We must finally speak of the falsifications
of Polish history. When were these committed and to what purpose?
The Poles today are a vain and arrogant people,
especially the upper classes. They have few gifts, they are not
productive and creative, they have given the world nothing magnificent.
Because they were unable to develop for long centuries, they developed
negatively. Thus they made demands without being able to produce
services, they are greedy for the property of others, they think only of
themselves and convince themselves that they are the center of the
world. There are no realities for them, they live in daydreams and
haughtiness.
The Poles perceive their inferiority as a people but
fail to recognize the reasons for it. They think they are entitled to
make demands, and these demands are made of the Germans, instead of
their real oppressors, who skillfully direct their demands and their
hatred.
Since their conversion to Christianity, the people
have been subject to a strict clergy, which prevents the development of
the personality. They cannot free themselves from this straitjacket.
They are kept down so much that they increasingly unload their repressed
aggression in unparalleled hatred against the Germans, who are freer
and richer. This hatred is once again manipulated by the clergy and
since the clergy represents the greatest power among the people, and
since the people trusts its Christian church, it also follows its
leadership. The Church triumphs in Poland. And the Catholic church was
the arch enemy of the German Reich from the very beginning. The Poles
were and are exploited as tools to bleed the Germans and the German
economy white.
In proof of what I just said, I will reproduce a
Catholic Polish battle song, which was sung at the Pan-Slavic Congress
in Prague in 1848:
"Brothers, take up your scythes! Let us hurry to war!
Poland's oppression is over, we shall tarry no more.
Gather hordes about yourselves. Our enemy, the German, shall fall!
Loot and rob and burn! Let the enemies die a painful death.
He that hangs the German dogs will gain God's reward.
I, the provost, promise you shall attain Heaven for it.
Every sin will be forgiven, even well-planned murder,
If it promotes Polish freedom everywhere.
But curses on the evil one who dares speak well of Germany to us.
Poland shall and must survive. The Pope and God have promised it.
Russia and Prussia must fall. Hail the Polish banner!
So rejoice ye all:
Polzka zyje, great and small!"
9
[Alternate translation:
“Brothers, pick up your sickles! Let’s hurry to battle!
Poland’s serfdom is at an end, we refuse to wait any longer.
Gather hordes all around you all. May our enemy, the German, fall!
Plunder, rob, scorch, burn. Let the enemy die horribly.
Anybody who hangs the German dogs will receive God’s reward.
I, the Provost, firmly promise you the Kingdom of Heaven for it.
I will forgive every sin, even premeditated murder
In support of a free Poland from place to place.
But curse the villain who defends the Germans among us.
Poland should and must exist. The Pope and God promise it to me.
Russian and Prussia must disappear. Hail the Polish banner.
Exult gladly in it: Polzka zyje, large and small!”]
Every reader must feel the blood run cold as such
diabolical hatred. Poles nevertheless claim to be tolerant in religious
matters, to safeguard human rights and even that they struggle to
protect them . Human rights is understood by them to refer exclusively
to the realization of their own demands.
This song has come down to us in the German language
[Translator’s note: this is undoubtedly true, since it rhymes perfectly
in German; for example, “Fluch dem Bösewicht, der vor uns für
Deutschland spricht”, i.e., “Curse the villain who defends the Germans
among us”] This proves that the Poles, the so-called “original Slavs”
with the “Slavic”-Polish past, were still using the German language
predominantly in 1848, because their own language was not yet very
strongly established at that time. They also wanted to reach all
Catholics, since they always claim that Catholics and Poles are one and
the same.
At this point, I would like to refer to an event
which was just recently rescued from oblivion by German publications—the
Polish revolts of 1830 against the Russian oppression. The revolts
failed, the Poles fled in great hordes and were lovingly received and
cared for—where do you think? Why, in Germany, of course. “Die
Rheinpfalz”, a newspaper in Ludwigshafen, on 8 August 1981, commemorated
the "German and Polish tears in the wine of the Harz Mountains"; it
reports how Germans and Poles fraternized and were one in the struggle
for freedom, how they sang Polish songs and how the Germans exulted with
the Poles and encouraged the continued life of Poland.
The report repeats the description of a reception of
the Poles on 19 January 1832 in Neustadt an den Haardt. It is
characteristic for the German mentality of general love of humanity and
decisive proof that there is no anti-Polish hatred on the part of the
Germans. The report states:
“Hardly was the news received, late on the
18th, that the Poles were arriving in Neustadt the next day and would
spend the night with us, than there was great excitement. They consulted
on the type of reception they were to be given and the manner in which
these highly honored guests were to be welcomed.
“.... The Germans were soon cheering the
victorious Poles of 29 November, soon German and Polish tears were
flowing into the wine of the Harz Mountains, at the quickly awakening
memory of the fall of Warsaw. Then a Polish fighter and an enthusiastic
German, enthusiastically hoping to avenge him, were soon embracing.
There Poles and Germans cried together over the fate of the 80-year old
father of the Pole, who had been sent to Siberia as a commutation of the
sentence of the absolutists… he had been sentenced because his son was a
patriot .....”
To me, what is significant about this report is not
only the sincere welcome given the Poles by the tippling Pfalzers, but
rather, the fact that they communicated with each other exclusively in
the German language, since the Pfalzer could only have sung along if the
Polish songs had all had German texts at that time. To me, this is
further indication that the hateful Polish Catholic battle song of 1848
was written in German. The German friendship and sympathy with which the
Poles were received were repaid by the Poles, only a few years later,
with abysmal hatred. But that was nothing new. Efforts had already been
made to wipe out everything German on earlier occasions as well. Thus,
even in the 18th century, Catholic Bambergers who had immigrated after
the Black Plague, following their bishop, were Polonized by force: they
were refused religious services and catechism in German and were
re-educated as Poles. By the time of the First World War, these
Bambergers were so Polonized that they could no longer speak German --
despite their German Bamberger costumes, which they still wore, and as a
result of which they were still called “Bamberki”.
This was the Polish religious tolerance, to which the
Poles so proudly refer whenever they can. The Catholic Polish battle
song of 1848 is not the only example of clerical hatred. These existed,
and continue to exist, in such great numbers that one cannot list them
all. I only wish to quote a few. From the text "Poland’s Guilt for the Second World War" by Rudolf Trenkel from Thorn an den Weichsel.
“On 26 August 1920, the Polish priest in Adelnau said in an address: ‘All Germans in Poland must be hanged.’
“On 27 December 1921, the cathedral canon of
Posen Pryndzinski, in a hateful sermon against everything German, said:
‘Our job isn’t finished yet. The interior must be secured, Vilna and
Lemberg must still be secured, we must seize Danzig by force’".
And Peter Aurich, in his book, "German-Polish September, 1939" wrote as follows:
"... after the Cracow newspaper ‘Czas’ had
gone so far as to announce that ‘Poland’s artillery is aimed at Danzig
to protect Poland’s honor’, not a single Sunday went by without ‘holy
war against German neo-paganism’ being preached from the pulpits, and
prayers were said for the victory of Polish arms."
And on page 47 he says:
“Colonel of the General Staff Switalski, in the name of the Polish army in
Graudenz, gave a speech at a reception for bishops Dominik and Dr.
Okoniewsld, concluding with the words: ‘Pray with us today .... so that
our brothers may hold out, that their probationary period may be
shortened, and so that a great deed – a second Grunwald, may liberate us
from lack of freedom and ensure us a corresponding peace.’"
Grunwald is what the Poles call the Battle of
Tannenberg, which broke the power of the Teutonic Knights in 1410. In
this regard, you need to know that there is no place called Grunwald.
The battle took place in the vicinity of the village of Grünefelde near
Tannenberg. The Poles not only link Grunwald with the defeat of the
Teutonic Knights, but also, the future victory in the Grunewald of
Berlin [Translator’s note: Grunewald is a suburb of Berlin, by far the
most expensive residential area of the city, even today]. As I said,
these are not the only proofs of the guilt of the Polish clergy for the
atrocities against the Germans. Only this systematic education in
hatred, which had its origins in the Polish churches and Polish
intellectualism, could lead to Bromberg “Bloody Sunday”, which was,
however, not the first incident of its kind.
There was also an earlier massacre at Bromberg, on 22
April 1654, when all the Evangelicals in the city were massacred. When
Polish priests preach from the pulpit: "The Germans are your enemies –
the enemies of Catholic Poland", when murder weapons are blessed and
distributed in churches, one need not search far for the guilty parties.
The peak of hatred however was reached by the
cathedral canon, Prelate Kos, who, during a victory celebration of the
Polish National Democratic Party at the triumph of Versailles, presented
a song of hatred, which he had taken from a drama written by a certain
Lucjan Rydel, "Jeńcy" (The Prisoners) in 1902:
“Wherever the Germans sets his foot, the
earth bleeds for 100 years. Wherever the Germans carry water and drink,
the wells putrefy for 100 years.
“Wherever the Germans breathe, the Black
Plague rages for 100 years. Wherever the Germans extend their hand,
peace goes down in ruins. And if you were 100 years old, the Germans
would be ready to deny it.
“He deceives the strong, robs and dominates
the weak, and if there were a road straight to Heaven, he would not
hesitate to dethrone God. And we would then have the experience of
seeing the Germans stealing the sun from the sky.”
This can only have been written by somebody whose
nature bears hatred inside, whose entire life is eaten up by hate and
envy. If he were not such a sick-minded hater himself, how could he
generate such inhuman thoughts? A normal person doesn’t think this way.
But that a cathedral canon, a worthy prelate, should repeat this song of
hatred against the Germans at a victory celebration 20 years after it
was first poured out by this “poet” is monstrous and proves most
effectively that the outbreak of hatred of the people was controlled by
the Polish church. The song of 1848 “Brothers, Pick Up Your Sickles,
etc.”, is, after all, of “Christian” origin, and was sung well into
Korfanty’s time, i.e., the 1920s.
Let us now investigate the testimonies of hatred of
the Polish intellectual classes, which are a result of this
ecclesiastical incitement since 1848. Local historian and scholar in
Polish
matters, Alexander Treiche, in his book, “History of German Culture of
Rippin [Poland] and the Surrounding Regions”, wrote:
“In the years of revolution, 1904 to 1906, we
were always hearing that all Germans ought to be slaughtered in a
single night. To slaughter the Germans from the cradle upwards was the
slogan of the Poles at that time. But even in the time when our parents
and grandparents were still children, during the 19th century, they
often heard this horrible slogan about the slaughter of all the Germans,
with which the Poles had obviously been indoctrinated for generations."
And then there are the publications from the year 1929 in the Polish newspaper "League for Great Power", third edition:
“In war against the Germans, there will be no
prisoners and no room for human feelings. We will astonish the world
with the unusual, the bloody victims exceeding human proportions with
which we will wash away the shame of the insults which we have had to
endure from the Germans. In the Polish army, we must bear the spirit of
an irreconcilable struggle rising to the point of cruelty."
And on 3 October 1937, the same newspaper for Polish megalomania, according to the Neueste Nachrichten of Munich:
“The struggle between Poles and Germans is
inevitable. We must prepare ourselves for it systematically. Our aim is a
new Grunwald, but this time a Grunwald in the suburbs of Berlin, i.e.,
the defeat of Germany must be carried by Polish troops to the center of
the territory, in order to strike Germany in the heart. Our ideal is a
Poland in the West, with the Oder and Neiße as border.
“Prussia must be re-conquered for the Poles,
and we mean Prussia on the Spree [a river in eastern Germany, running
through the states of Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin]. The world must
tremble before the German-Polish war. In the ranks of our soldiers we
must carry the spirit of merciless hatred.
“From this very day onwards, every issue of this paper will be dedicated to the coming Grunwald in Berlin.”
In March 1939, my brother, in a night club in
Bromberg, heard Polish officers talking to each other about how they
would “wade through German blood” in the event of a war with Germany.
The lists with addresses of the Germans were already prepared. He had no
idea that he himself would fall victim to this murder lust.
And in January 1945, when the Russian advance was
approaching Litzmannstadt (where I was staying at the time) the Polish
slogan was:
“Reich Germans, pack your bags,
Ethnic Germans, prepare your coffins!”
And my family paid for these blood-thirsty words with their lives. Except that they were no longer alive to buy any coffins.
The Poles weren’t just anxious to shed blood in 1939
and 1945, they began immediately after the creation of their new state.
The bloodiest rebellions raged in West Prussia, in the region of Posen
and Upper Silesia. The Korfanty bands terrorized German Upper Silesia
since August 1919 until the division of the territory in violation of
international law in 1922. In Posen, in 1921, it was possible to read
the following on posters and in leaflets:
“With this broom we will sweep the last Germans from Poland!
Any that are still there in July 1921 is German trash and will be
slaughtered to a man, and the biggest Hakatists [ethnic German
Catholics] will be covered with petroleum and tar, set on fire and
burned… .
Now they’ll all going to get it... all doctors, pastors, lawyers,
leaseholders, settlers, property owners of all kinds, whether German or
Jewish.”
There are also enough admissions of endless Polish covetousness. I only wish to quote a few:
On 13 June 1926, the Gazeta Gdanska wrote:
“The safest tanks in Pomerelia [region of
eastern Pomerania, along the Baltic coast, historically including the
city of Danzig] are the millions of Polish settlers. All land still in
possession of the Germans must be torn from German hands.”
On 19 June 1929, the "Straznia baltycka" announced:
“Danzig, too, is a Polish city and will be
ours. Your duty is to conquer Danzig, that tiny piece of Polish land
waiting impatiently for you.”
In 1937, the [Polish] General Staff officer [Hendry]
Baginski, states as follows, among other things, in his book, which is
constantly being republished:
“Until peace reigns in Europe, until the name
of Prussia, which is after all already the name of a people which has
long since disappeared from the map of Europe, has been wiped out, until
the Germans have shifted their capital city Berlin further to the
West.”
A Polish General Staff officer reveals quite clearly
here the Polish lust for war and the objective of that war: the
incorporation of Prussia into Poland and the extinction of the name of
Prussia! Later we will see the same Polish objective from the mouths of
the highest dignitaries of the Polish Church.
In reply, we must ask: on the German side, did
anybody ever express any desire or demand to shift Cracow or Warsaw
further to the East?
The Pan-Slavic Youth Association on 4 May 1929 incited the people with the following publication:
“In 1410, the Germans were defeated at
Tannenberg. But now we will smash them at Berlin. Danzig, East Prussia,
Silesia, are minimum demands. Through this gigantic victory Poland will
rule all of Europe.”
The Polish Professor, Limanowski, from Vilna, was right when he said of his countrymen:
“It lies in the nature of the Poles that they
cannot remain in the realms of the real; their fantasy reaches further;
whenever they get this hands on a piece of land, they want more. They
want the whole world.”
In fact, they do want the whole world. In June 1929, they gave further proof of it:
"The hour of freedom will soon ring for the
historically Polish territories. The ‘Pax Polonica’ will cause Europe to
tremble. Fate has given Poland the historical task of forming the life
of Central Europe."
The manner in which Central Europe was to be shaped
after the war was announced by the Polish Minister of Industry, Hilary
Hinc, when he announced as follows regarding the theft of German land
and wealth:
".... We have carried out territorial gains
in the West in a previously unprecedented manner – the easiest and most
favorable: we have acquired territories in which streets, railways and
waterways were already available as well as cities, which only await
settlement, industrial installations, which only await activation , and
coal mines. There are also a few residues of the German population which
will be liquidated in a short time, in the manner that suits us, as we
are morally and legally entitled to do under international law."
Next to megalomania, what is recklessly revealed here
is the Polish lust for robbery and murder, which breaks out in this
people over and over again. The most shocking thing is that this
Minister of Industry, the same one who wants to liquidate the residues
of the remaining German population at whim and who constantly brags that
they are entitled to do so under morals and international law, bears a
German name.
He is obviously a German, “re-educated” for
centuries, as in many other cases as well. The Poles call that "a German
having risen in the Polish culture". An old proverb, a few centuries
old, confirms this over and over, that men of our blood who leave their
country [and] apply their strength and skill to another people, are lost
to us. They not only become loyal citizens of their new country. Vanity
and a need for validity drives them to become our bitterest enemies in
two or three generations – sometimes even faster. For the most part,
they do valuable cultural work, which the host peoples benefit by, but
they themselves become renegades, culturally enriching other nations.
Renegades always carry the poison sting of treason, and precisely for
this reason, they become worse haters of their ancestry than if it were
truly foreign to them. There are endless examples of this turncoat
attitude in all countries of the world. The best known deniers of their
German blood were after all, Catherine the Great of Russia, the princess
from Darmstadt, and the American, General Eisenhower - Eisenhauer.
Let us now turn to the history of the origins of Poland and the Polish people.
The Poles are a very young people without origins of
their own, created, as it were, in a test tube. They received their land
from the Germans, their language from Glagolitic monks [followers of
the Greek monk St. Cyril, inventor of an alphabet for the Christian
conversion of Slavic tribes], working on behalf of Rome. They have
hardly anything of their own to show. They are Germans reeducated on
behalf of the Roman Catholic Church for centuries, mixed with Eastern
and Turkish-Mongolian tribes. They not only derived their folk costumes
from the Turks, they learned their way of waging war from the Tatars.
They testify to this themselves.
We should not ignore or underestimate this Polish
reference to their own race, since here the Poles themselves give an
indication of their origins of the Polish people.
We already know that the Glagolitic church language
of the bishop of Cracow, Vinzenz Kadlubek (Wolf Gottlobonis) was used as
the basis for his artificial "Chronica polonorum" and that the purpose
was to eradicate the direct connection between the settlers with their
old country. That was only the first step, which has remained completely
unnoticed by outsiders. Only 200 years later did the opportunity arise
for the second step, when the Lithuanian prince Jagiello, with the
approval of his Christian bishops, recruited hordes of Mongols for a war
against German Teutonic Knights. With this assistance, and the cruel
Asiatic methods of fighting, German culture was to be defeated and
erased. The Teutonic Knights were beaten and never recovered from this
bloodletting. Asiatic hordes, spiritual intrigue and German stupidity,
flourishing to the point of treason, did the work.
From the present situation, we know that victors
never withdraw immediately after the end of the struggle. They remain in
the land to enjoy the fruits of their victory and especially the women,
in order to rape them and destroy their racial integrity. The hordes of
robbers at that time did the same as they did in 1945, when they fell
upon us and our people, especially our women. This was just as
calculated, as it is today in the Pan-European idea of Count
Coudenhove-Calergi [a racial mongrel who became famous in the 1920s]: a
mishmash people that can more easily be ruled.
When the Poles, in their official history books,
openly admit that they learned their lust for war from the Tatars and
took their costumes from the Turks, then they are admitting that they
are also racially related to the Turkish Mongols. Because only somebody
of related blood could adopt a cruel, bloodthirsty method of fighting as
his own and even brag about it. Only when it reflects one’s inner
nature, can one say: plunder, rob, scorch, murder, let the enemies die
horribly! There is not a single example of this type, down through the
centuries to the present day, of German soldiers and priests talking
this way, because it does not reflect their nature. On the other hand,
we have many such Polish admissions. This shows the late consequences of
this mixture of blood with Asians, which was introduced by the
anti-German clergy with their policy of de-Germanization. This reveals
the time of the origins of the Polish people. It reveals itself so
clearly and in history that we must ask with astonishment why it even
required these Polish admissions to be able to recognize these facts
clearly. We are grateful to the Poles for opening our eyes in this
manner.
The seed of the bishop Kadlubek nevertheless did not
grow so quickly as intended, because, until well into the 15th century,
the new artificial language was unable to prevail. Precisely the
citizens of Cracow, the place of origin of the former inventor of the
artificial language, resisted the longest against the adoption of Polish
as a lingua franca. It has been historically proven by the later Polish
historian Ptaśnik that Cracow remained almost completely German until
well into the 15th century. There is a large proportion of German blood
in the Polish people today, since all through the centuries the most
hardworking forces from the Reich went to the East and were called
there, as may be seen from the names of people as well as for cities and
village. Always when German people were decisive in the leadership of
the land, the land flourished. As soon as the Asian blood mixture became
dominant with the help of clerical intrigue, there was devastation and
pogroms. More and more Germans became subject to these methods of
compulsion, but only after the rise of Pan-Slavism, since about 1848,
this Asiatic hatred broke out into the open. Since then, Poland is no
longer a European country. It has erased itself from European culture
through endless hatred and blind chauvinism.
But the German East never belonged to the Asians, it
is clearly a German settlement area, even if Turks and Asians
temporarily flocked there and left traces. They contributed nothing to
construction or culture. All attempts of the Poles and their foolish or
treasonable German helpers, to refer to the German areas occupied by the
Poles at that time as “originally Slavic settlement territories", must
be decisively rejected, since they are obvious falsifications.
The Poles have represented the thousand-year
celebration of the Christian conversion of the regions on the Weichsel,
Warthe and Oder as the time of birth of their thousand-year old identity
as a state, but that is a falsification. At the time of Christian
conversion, there was neither Polish land nor a Polish people, nor any
Polish princes. The Poles, of course, still believe that in the
meantime, because it is brainwashed into them by their clergy, but just
the same, it is not true. Unfortunately, the Germans believe it, too,
because history has been so completely falsified. And I will attempt to
prove this based on history.
Richard Suchenwirth, in his work, The German East, reports on the development of the German Eastern territories. These are excellent reports.
But the author makes false assumptions based on the
notion that there were both a Polish land and people, without ever
asking where they came from and what their origins were. He describes
the whole process of settlement as having been carried out by Germans,
with great displays of erudition, and repeatedly says that there is no
proof that the wars fought at that time were between the two peoples,
but were, on the contrary, purely religious struggles and wars of
Christian conversion, but nevertheless assumes the existence of a Polish
people without offering any proof of it. This is how stubbornly
historical falsifications have become established among us.
Suchenwirth’s book isn’t the only one on the subject. To learn how much
has been falsified, erased, omitted and added, you have to read "The Falsification of German History" by Wilhelm Kammeier and the "Slavic Legend" by Lothar Greil. They really open your eyes.
First I’d like to describe what we were taught about
early Polish history when we learned it in school. They begin with the
Christian conversion. Today, the Poles give an entirely different date
for it. But let’s begin with [one of] the early rulers of Poland,
Mieszko I, who underwent Christian baptism and founded the Polish
kingdom, which bordered on Prussian territory. As is well known, the
pagan Prussians resisted Christian conversion for the longest time. We
learned that the cruel orders of knighthood subjugated the Prussians
with fire and sword. This is described very vividly by the Polish poet
Henryk Sienkiewicz. At the same time, the Poles were naturally innocent
victims.
This novel, "With Fire and Sword" plays
the most important role in the lives of all Poles who base their
knowledge of history of the people and the intellectuals on this
chauvinistic novel. Furthermore, the orders of knighthood are equated
with the Germans.
In truth, however, the orders were never subordinate
to the German Reich or Emperor; it was an independent body in the
service of the Pope. Members were exclusively Germans from the Reich,
but their sole function was to protect the interests of the Catholic
Church, as demanded by the Catholic faith generally at that time. Their
wars were wars of Christian conversion and not wars between Germans and
Poles, which didn’t exist at the time.
The Poles are always talking about their victory at
Grunwald in 1410 against the orders of knighthood, in which they are
said to have been the conquering heroes. In fact, they only achieved
their victory through the unparalleled and unscrupulous treachery in the
ranks of the order itself.
[This section was problematic, as it was
difficult to understand the nature of the claims being made. Deletion of
text quoted by Else Loeser; substitution of text by Bolko Freiherr von
Richthofen and Robert Reinhold Oheim :
“Their [the Teutonic Knights’] heroic struggle
against superior numbers was weakened by treachery and treason at the
decisive moment. The “Union of the Lizards”, mentioned above, fighting
as a closed, armed company, within the Order of the Knights, by the
Polish baron Mikolaj z Rynowa, a knight of the nobility of Chelm,
disguised under the name of “Nickel von Renys”, violated their oaths,
together with the companies of the knights from the local Prussian
landed nobility, by betraying the Knights at the decisive moment,
lowering their banners as a sign of surrender, and deserting to the
Poles en masse. On the other hand, many Poles remained with the Knights
and fought faithfully, such as, for example, Konrad von Oels, who ended
up as a Polish prisoner.”

[According to Wikipedia: “A pivotal role in triggering the Teutonic retreat is attributed to the leader of the banner of Culm,
[1][2]Nikolaus von Renys (Mikołaj of Ryńsk), born in Prussia (identified by Longinus as
Swabia, a name used by Poles for Germany). The founder and leader of the
Lizard Union,
a group of Order Knights sympathetic to Poland, refused to fight the
Polish, lowering the banner he was carrying was taken as a signal of
surrender by the Teutonic troops. Accused of treason, ultimately von
Renys was beheaded by his order, along with all of his male
descendants.”]
A shocking example of treason, envy and desire for
revenge, which is unfortunately not unique in German history, leading,
then as now, to such devastating disaster for Germany. At that time, as
today, there was no victorious hero as the victor, only bigmouthed
arrogance.
But the highest Polish “Christian" dignitaries always
talk about this "Grunwald", which is however called Grünefelde, which
gives them more glory but which they turn into the opposite with lies,
in order to portray themselves as innocent martyrs.
The so-called offer of reconciliation of the German
bishops of 18 November 1965 contains the following accusations against
Germany:
"...His theses were directed against the German
Orders of knighthood, the so-called ‘Crusaders’, which at that time, in
the Slavic North and in the Prussian and Baltic countries converted the
original local inhabitants with fire and sword for European Christianity
and for its symbol, the cross, and for the church, in whose name they
appeared, over the course of centuries became a fearful and extremely
compromising burden. Even today, after many generations, the designation
‘Krzyzak’ (Crusader) is an insult and bogie man for every Pole and is
unfortunately all too often identified with German culture. From the
settlement areas later came those Prussians who brought everything
German into ill fame in the Polish lands. They are in represented in the
historical development represented by the following names: the same
Albrecht of Prussia; Friedrich, the so-called ‘Great’; Bismarck and
finally Hitler, as the end point of Friedrich II have always been viewed
by the entire Polish people as the chief originators of the division of
Poland and without doubt not without reason."
In their hatred of the Germans, the pious gentlemen
even forget that they are accusing their own Roman Church and Popery by
stating that the conversion of the original inhabitants in the Prussian
and Baltic lands with fire and sword was a compromising burden for
European Christianity and its symbol, the Cross. This type of conversion
at the time was quite common and occurred with the knowledge and
approval of the See of St. Peter, in this case at the special wish of
the Duke of Masovia, of whom the claim is still made, by Poles, that he
was a Polish Prince. He called upon the knights because he had too
little “fire and sword” to subjugate the Prussians. This illustrates the
manner in which hatred makes people so blind that they can no longer
think logically. But these remarks of the Polish bishops also reveal
something else, namely, that hatred against the German orders of
knighthood was unleashed by the Poles and is carefully cultivated by
them. History is deliberately twisted into its opposite, because people
want to ensure endless hatred. Because this so-called "Message of
Reconciliation" was not only directed at the German recipients, it was
also intended for their own people as proof of the kind of monstrous and
shameless language which may be safely indulged in, against the Germans
of the same rank, by their brothers in the faith. This shows quite
clearly who is responsible for the education in hatred. There are
endless examples in this, as well as other, additional, letters from
Polish bishops to German bishops, revealing the lack of truthfulness in
relation to past and present. At the same time, the Christian priesthood
in particular had reason enough to extend the mantle of forgetfulness
about the atrocities committed during the Christian conversion of Europe
– and not only Europe. For example, was Lower Saxony peacefully
converted to Christianity? Didn’t a German Emperor exterminate the
entire ruling class of the territory in the name of the new faith –
naturally with the approval of the top shepherds of the Holy See of St.
Peter? And what about the Crusades of the Christian armies from all the
nations of Christendom? Were they just friendly visits paid to
neighboring countries? What did the most fervent bearers of Christian
culture, the Spaniards, do when they arrived in Mexico, although they
had no common border with the country? How many millions of innocent
people fell victim to the bloody persecutions in the witchcraft mania of
the Middle Ages? If the descendents of all these murder victims
attempted to preserve their hatred and thirst for revenge the way the
Poles have, with the help of their clergy, for 150 years, humanity would
have perished from the earth long ago.
These examples show clearly that behind the stubborn
clinging to historical lies stand special objectives which can been
glimpsed over and over again, like a red thread.
At this point I would like to add some remarks on the
effects of such historical falsifications down to the present day. In
May 1981, the ZDF broadcast a three-part series under the title “Scars”,
which was billed as an attempt at German-Polish reconciliation. The
content was one single distortion of the actual circumstances. Extensive
detail was given on the final discussion between the German
participants Philipp von Bismarck and Countess Dönhoff on the one hand
and the Polish professor Wladyslaw Markiewicz and the journalist from
the Warsaw popular newspaper Polityka, Henryk
Zdanowksi, on the other side. The Polish gentlemen did their best to
conceal the truth entirely. Delicate questions were not even answered.
But the first sentence of Prof. Markiewicz’s, who is well-known in
Germany as a member of the notorious school book commission, was
revealing. Here it is:
“The historical consciousness of the Polish
people is not formed by historians and scholars, but by their great
poets and writers, Adam Mickiewicz and Henryk Sienkiewicz.”
And it was easy to see that he was proud of this. He
was so proud of his poets and his own cleverness that he forget how he
himself, as an historian, is damaging his own reputation and that of his
people. This is just another example of what Prof. Limanowski once said
about his countrymen, that they cannot remain in the real of the real.
Historical reality is not reality at all for them, but rather, the
Polish daydreams of their own greatness and infallibility and German
brutality and the cruel oppression of the poor, helpless Poles, who are
supposed to be so proud.
This also shows how nonsensical it is, to sit down
and negotiate with such people on a school book commission. What is this
supposed to accomplish? Certainly not historical truth. Neither the
professors nor the Polish cardinals have any knowledge of these things,
and, accordingly, neither do the Polish people. The only purpose of the
Polish school book commission is to establish the Polish version of
events for all time, just like the historical falsifications that were
spread about in the past. And this is a question of billions of marks,
which are to be extorted by means of German admissions of guilt.
But back to Mieszko I. Who was he? Was he a Pole? No,
although the Polish cardinals claim he was, in their so-called Message
of Reconciliation, falsifying history from the very first page:
“It has been irrefutably proven that, in the
year 966, the Polish prince duke Mieszko I, as a result of the influence
of his wife, the Czech princess Dombrowka, received the Holy Sacrament
of baptism with his royal household, as the first prince.”
Historically, the truth is quite different, and the
pious gentlemen are lying. The name Mieszko is derived from the surname
Mesico, of the Norman prince Dago, from the very highly respected family
of the Daglingers, from the Kingdom of Norway. Dago-Mesico was the
ambassador of Scandinavian princes, who had come as scouts and traders
in the land on the Weichsel and Warthe. His wife was a Germanic princess
from Bohemia and not a “Czech princess Dombrowka”. There wasn’t any
Czech king at that time. The history of the Czechs has been falsified
just as much as that of the Poles. In the year 966, there was a Dukedom
of Bohemia, which was just as much a tribal dukedom of the German core
land, like Swabia, Lorraine or Bavaria. The "alleged Czech princess
Dombrowka" was the daughter of Prince Boleslaf I, who came from the
Germanic tribe of the Varangians, Pramysil, and bore the name Domberta.
Prince Boleslaf of Bohemia – who was not a Czech –
was a liege man of the German Emperor and remained true to him. His
daughter, Domberta, was married, in a first marriage, to the Margrave
Gerold von Meißen. (Franz Wolff: “Ostgermanien” [Eastern Germany]).
Dago’s son, Bolsleib the Clever, married the daughter
of a Viking prince. The Poles turned him into the “first Polish king”,
Boleslaw Chrobry. Neither the Norman prince Dago-Mesico nor his son,
Bolsleib the Clever, was a Pole. Dago-Mesico founded his new empire in
the thickly settled Germanic territory on the Weichsel and Warthe,
documentary records of which exist as the Mesico-Reich. He ruled from
960 to 992. Despite indisputable research findings, the past of West
Prussia, the Warthe district and Silesia have been falsely called
“Poland” in later centuries, right down to the present day, whenever
they were talking about the old Mesico-Reich. Polish repetition has
managed to achieve this. But at that time there were no Poles, the name
“Pole” was simply unknown to contemporary chroniclers. Only the
ecclesiastical propaganda of the 13th century lead deliberately to the
falsification of history, and thus, only in the chronicles written in
the [Polish] language very much later, retroactively, the Norman prince
Dago-Mesico was turned into the Pole, Mieszko I. The name Mieszko is
derived from the name Mieczyslaw. With this in mind, they invented a
tribe called the “Piasts”, to whom this Mieszko was attributed. But this
tribe of the Piasts never existed. This is the way it is with all of
Polish history. The names were changed, retroactively, in order to give
the newly invented people and land their old past, in order to make
demands and be able to demand rights. Why was this?
After the incorporation into the territory on the
Weichsel and Warthe, Dago-Mesico attempted to expand his kingdom through
conquest. But he suffered defeats at the hands of the Vandals in
Pomerania, and the Heruler, at Usedom, near Stettin. This caused him to
submit voluntarily to the German Emperor Otto I the Great. This again
called the Roman curie on the plan which saw in this a strengthening of
the German empire of power. The Pope’s office, which had plans for world
conquest at that time, sent his spiritual representative to the court
of the Norman princes. They were lucky enough to be able to persuade
Dago to undergo baptism in 996 and joined the mission sent out by Rome
in 967. He began his crusades against the Vandals of Pomerania; Vandal
is equivalent to Wends. A people of the Wends has never existed. Only in
later centuries did one use the word Wend, in order to make “Slavs” out
of them.
When the Polish bishops indicate in their text "We
Offer Forgiveness - We Ask For Forgiveness" of the Polish hierarchy with
the first archbishoprics in Gniezno and three assistant bishoprics of
Crakow, Wroclaw, Kolobrzeg – however Cracow, Breslau and Kolberg might
be called – we must object that they are telling untruths and are
falsifying history. There was a Polish hierarchy, but all bishops, all
members of the orders, and all monks were Germans from the Reich
territories. Where is any Polish hierarchy supposed to have come from?
The bishopric of Gnesen was entrusted to the German bishops Jordan and
Unger and were dedicated to the holy Adalbert of Prague. So who founded
the Polish hierarchy?
Towards the end of the reign of the Daglingers in
990, Dago gave his empire to the Pope and withdrew as a fief against the
payment of tributes. From this point onwards begins the evil
development which was to lead to the formation of the anti-German basis
of Poland. On the German side, people weren’t suspicious of the Pope.
Germans are rarely suspicious, because they can’t imagine how evil our
adversaries can be.
We can skip the intrigues and struggles between the
sons and nephews of the Norman princes of Dago-Mesico and the Roman
Church, no matter how they may be in themselves. The Roman church
reinforced itself through the Christian conversion of the remaining
areas of the Mesico Empire. This did not of course take place as a
result of the voluntary submission of the Germanic tribes, but through
violence and war. For the inhabitants, there was only one choice:
baptism or death. There were struggles between pagans and Christians,
but never between Germans and Poles.
The pagans were called “sclavi” at that time, i.e.,
because they were considered the “slaves” of a pagan god. After they
underwent baptism, they were Christians. The word “sclavi” lost its
meaning and was forgotten. Only in later centuries during the
translation of Latin texts did people stumble across this word and
forgetting its original meaning they removed the “c” from the word
“sclavi”, because the deprecatory word “sclavi”, which reminded them of
ordinary slaves, was perceived as an insult by the persons concerned.
At this point, I would like to insert what D. Skobnol says on this topic:
“Only at the end of the 18th century did German outsiders invent the more refined concept of Slaven. By omitting the refined "c" – or "k" – they retroactively falsified sclavi (from monkish Latin), as well as Sklabenoi
(from late Greek). As ‘sklavi’ = servants, Gotzdiener, and worshippers
of Satan was a word used by theologists, scholars and chroniclers of the
West Roman, and, later German Reich, from the 9th to the 11th century
to refer to all remaining masses of not-yet Christianized Germans
serving ‘pagan’, nature or polytheistic cults, on the other side of the
Christian West Reich; i.e., (more or less) about east of the Elba and
north of the Danube, and, of course, deep in later ‘Poland’ referred to
as the Easter territory, and as far as the Baltic. The word ‘Sklabenoi’ =
i.e., Götzendiener, devil worshippers, was understood to mean, during
the same period – from Byzantium, Constantinople, i.e., to the Eastern
Empire (Greek Empire), all the many ‘pagan’ Germanic and related
Indo-Germanic peoples dependent on not-yet Christianized [people] of
Turkish origin in huge areas east of the borders of the Christian German
Eastern Reich; i.e., (more or less) the central and eastern regions of
the Balkans and, in particular, the land mass from the Black Sea to the
Urals and Baltic (later, the Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania). Paid
historians of the 19th century did not hesitate to falsify documents
from the ground up, by erasing the tell-tale ‘c’ from the documents made
available to them with special tools and artificially changing the
sequence of the letters.”
How magnificently they did their work is described by
Wilhelm Kammeier in “The Falsifications of German History”. Something
similar happened with the name “Poland”. Until well until the 13th
century the concept of “Poland” was unknown. The word "polani" is
derived from the late Latin Po-lani, Residents of a
Feild (farmers) and is derived, first, from "po" = near, and, secondly,
from the Germanic "lan" = fief, field, land. Therefore the correct term
should be “Poland” – as in English – and not Polen
[the German name]. There is no convincing evidence for the purely
Germanic derivation of what is supposed to have been called Polen,
Latinized Polonia, and in Slavic, Polska.
The same applies to Pomerania or Pommerellen, which
is derived from late Latin "pomerani", i.e., Po-mer-ani = those who live
by the sea = Meer-Anrainer [= neighbors to the sea]. During the Middle
Ages, this referred to all the late Germanic tribes, mostly of Vandal
origins, residing along the entire south coast region of the Baltic,
roughly from Greifswald to the peninsula of Hela.
After these inserted scholarly concurrent remarks of
all present researchers in this field, I would like to continue with my
prior remarks.
This map was the object of mass distribution both
inside and outside Poland during the 1930s as a propaganda postcard,
with the support of the Polish governmental authorities. This was
Poland’s thanks for the fact that Germany, through its victory over
Russian in 1917, enabled the creation of a Polish state for the first
time in 100 years.
The map shows the insane chauvinism with which the
Poles demand their “historically Polish western border”, even today.
According to the map, entire regions of what are today Slovakia and the
Czech Republic, not to mention German territories all the way to Dresden
and Berlin-Baltic, in addition to all of Silesia, Pomerania, West and
East Prussia, are Polish! Not only that, but the Polish eagle (vulture?)
is “protectively” spreading his wings far into ethnically German and
Russian territory.
Polish chauvinists, emigrants and Bolsheviks all
share this megalomania. The map shows, as a motto, the slogan of the
Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz: "And every one of you, in your soul, bears a
seed of future rights and a measurement of future borders!"
They thought they could conquer the German Reich all by themselves.
This Polish propaganda photo shows Marshall Edward
Rydz-Smigly in a victorious pose. He thought he could conquer German all
by himself and then march on to Berlin. Assistance from the Soviet
Union was strictly refused. The aircraft squadron in the sky is a
photomontage, inserted into the background. The planes actually show a
training formation of the German Air Force taken at the 1937 Nuremberg
Rally...
Another piece of fake photographic "documentation" intended to convince the Poles themselves that they were all-powerful.
The wars of Christian conversion decimated the
Germanic population. But the monks wanted support points, i.e., they
needed to built cloisters, but there was no work force. Prior to the
Christian conversion there were flourishing landscapes, but afterwards,
they fell into ruin: ruined fortifications, settlements and courts
overgrown with grass, hay and trees. Churches and nobility sucked the
blood of the lower folk. Artisanship no longer existed, nor did
merchants. The mass of the "local population" sank in numbers from year
to year, while the rest were reduced to slaves, or serfs.
In order to be able to build cloisters, the
Cistercians had to procure a suitable supply of people, and they came
exclusively from the territories of the German Reich. The monks assured
the new settlers of privileges of all kinds and gave them German laws.
This brought the desired success. German villages soon surrounded the
cloisters. Christian immigrants reinforced Christian power. The Reich,
on the other hand, allowed its citizens to be drawn out and did nothing
to ensure possible rights for them. They made no attempt to incorporate
the settled and cultivated areas, which were now settled exclusively by
Germans from the Reich, into the Reich, in contrast to Rome, which
arrogated the now Christian areas to itself.
The work of the settlers bore rich fruit. For the
most part, they brought money with them, they gave the land order and
right, custom and education. In the desolated land, after the
construction of the cloisters, the swamps were drained, forests cleared.
Wasteland and moors were made cultivable. Dams were built, moats dug,
canals and bridges built. Instead of the old huts of mud, houses were
built with baked brick and mortar. The German farmers brought their
mouldboard plows and introduced crop rotation. The wealth of the land
grew steadily. There arose gradually the granaries of Germany, which
nevertheless became desolate and overgrown when the Germans were bullied
and expelled, and when the gentry, who had become Polish, gradually
took power after Polish wars and rebellions.
That these areas had once achieved a high level of
culture in every respect, is the best proof that they were German, and
that they could not have been Polish, since they would never have
achieved such a flourishing level of prosperity after the repeatedly
provided proofs of Polish incompetence.
With the assistance of the Cistercians, artisans also
settled the Mesico-Reich. First in the field were cloisters, then also
outside the cloisters as well. Thus arose the villages and cities, the
guilds. There followed the patricians and great merchants from the
Reich, trade flourished in the land on the Weichsel and Warthe. Until
well into the 15th century, Germans represented the largest part of the
nobility and prince bishops, the settlements were subject to them, they
founded not only cloisters, but trade centers as well. German was the
lingua franca and the writing was German and the names were German, the
laws were German. The Cistercians also possessed the privilege of only
accepting citizens of Cologne into their orders. Only in exceptional
cases could members of sponsor families gain entry to the orders.
The Poles have never, for example, contributed to the
construction of this territory on the Weichsel and Warthe, since, first
of all, there were no Poles yet, and secondly, when there were Poles,
they were never capable of doing so. The Poles are not a creative
people, but a people oppressed and held down by the clergy which cannot
develop or even maintain land which has been given to them or which they
have conquered. We are experiencing this problem at the present time,
and not only agriculture in the former German eastern territories, but
in industry, mining and trade as well, which were totally run into the
ground in only 35 years, that which took centuries to build up. The
reason for this lies not in Soviet oppression, but in the incompetence
of the Polish leadership classes.
The areas on the Weichsel and Warthe were legal
possessions of the German orders of knighthood. In the struggles for the
Christian conversion of the Prussians, who resisted bitterly, Duke
Conrad of Masovia obtained the assistance of the orders. After initial
hesitation, the order was prepared but only upon promises of return
payment. This return payment consisted of expropriation by the Duke of
all of the territory of Chelm and all future territories still to be
conquered for all time. This expropriation was sealed by Pope Gregory IX
in the Golden Bull signed at Rimini in 1234.
The Poles however completely distort all this land
expropriation. Otherwise they would have to admit that – if they had
even existed at that time – they broke this treaty, when they
expropriated this land by violence. Without this expropriation treaty,
they describe the German orders as violent invaders, against whom they
defended themselves as they had a right to do. Already this false
description of history, even in German history books, shows the evil
effects of historical falsifications. That struggles between pagans and
Christians could be represented as struggles between two peoples and
legally executed land gains could be passed over in silence, has made
formerly racially related people into deadly enemies over the centuries.
Was this intentional? Unfortunately we must answer yes. Why was this?
In all marks of the struggling princes people spoke
German in the various German patois and dialects, since all princes and
kings and their wives were of German origin, all bishops of the
Beneficiation Churches of Gnesen were German too. The Pre-Monstratensian
and Cistercian monks were all recruited out of the Reich, and to a man,
the upper classes were all German and all settlers were German. But the
Pope in Rome was not and he saw his power limited by the Germans. He
feared the encroachment of German influence, both worldly and spiritual.
Thus he looked for ways to prevent this. In so doing,
the bishops from Engelsburg offered the necessary assistance, while
they, for their part, could count on the following of the monks and
lower clergy. They found the way and they found the tool.
At this point I would like to quote a paragraph from
the "Slavic Legend" by Lothar Greil, describing the birth of the Polish
people and country. It was really a test tube baby type of situation:
“The most important objective was to erase
the connection between the settlers and the former country. But because
there was absolutely no cohesiveness in the provinces of the Mesico
Empire, with its fragmented leadership, which was only held together by
force, they set out to lay the basis for a unifying national and
patriotic idea. Anybody who lived in the border areas of the territory
of sovereignty of the senior council gentlemen of Cracow, a claim which
is still made today, was to be taught that there was no national,
political or ecclesiastical commonality with the other Germans living in
German culture. With the approval of the Curia, Vinzenz Kadlubek –
since 1208 Bischop of Cracow – in 1218 in the enclosure of a cell in the
Cistercian cloister of Klein-Morimund (Andreöw) and wrote there his
‘Chronica Polonorum’ in the Latin language. This man, who, as a German,
was really called Wolf Gottlobonis (i.e., Wolf, Son of Gottlob),
invented the concept of ‘Poland’ as well as the saga of the ‘Lechs’, the
so-called ‘original Poles’, and their ‘Piast’ family of princes. This
imaginative work is chock-full of inventions and statements in
contradiction to the facts, but this does not prevent it from being of
enormous importance as propaganda. Of course, later, nobody dared to
call a Christian bishop a swindler and a liar. And because a ‘Man of
God’ always tells the truth, not even educated intelligent men thought
of attacking the credibility of this ‘testimony’. In this manner, one of
the most astonishing historical lies became a historical taboo.
Although long since relegated to the status of a fable by all serious
researchers as a result of the absurdity of its content, Kadlubek’s text
still forms the basis, not only for all Polish, and even German,
historical writing in this regard. Everybody repeats the fairy tales and
blabs about the ‘Pole’ who didn’t exist at that time, any more than any
concept of a Polish state, the ‘Piasts’, when people talk about Dago or
his descendents, and, of course, about the ‘Slavs’, who are supposed to
have resided there, instead of the actual Germans who were there on the
spot, in what is called Poland today. That exclusively German dialects
were spoken in all provinces of the Mesico Empire, even in Vinzenz
Kadlubek’s lifetime, which could even be understood by anybody from
western Germany, is ignored and therefore largely unknown.
It nevertheless took a long time for the new language
to be accepted and recognized by the people and nobility. Until well
into the 15th century, it was unable to take root. It is an undeniable
historical fact, that, for example, the city of Cracow was completely
German until well into the 15th century, as was Warsaw.
These are the biggest cities in Poland and
nevertheless they were predominantly German, despite all Polish claims
to the contrary. And until the end of the 18th century, neither the
profane nor the ecclesiastical historiography mentions the popular
contrasts of the area between the Rhine and the Weichsel during the
Middle Ages.
Although there is no historical proof at all, the
Poles represent their history as if they could look back on a thousand
years of existence of a Polish state. And the otherwise serious Germans
help them in so doing, sometimes intentionally, sometimes
unintentionally. The first falsifier, as we have heard, was the German,
Wolf Gottlobonis, active as bishop in Cracow. But these falsifications
alone wouldn’t have had the devastating consequences, if other Germans
had not attempted to resurrect the otherwise forgotten Wends as Slavs in
the 18th century. Basic to the next swindle was the German theologian
August Schlözer (1738 - 1809), who, in the service of the Russians as
historical and philological expert in St. Petersburg, to please the
Czar, is said to have invented the word “Slav” while investigating and
systematizing the Glagolitic church language. Schlözer’s invention
influenced the theologist Johann Gottfried Herder, who made a name for
himself by digging up old folksongs of various peoples, but especially
those of the “Slavs”. He found the Wends and the Sorbs and a culture of
the "Slavs". The Poles know that they owe him, since they show their
gratitude to him – the only example of Polish gratitude in history – by
maintaining his monument in Mohrungen/East Prussia, the city of his
birth.
The Poles naturally need to fill out their alleged
thousand-year history with great events and great men. Since no such
great events or great men ever existed, they simply allocate to
themselves all the great Germans they can find, and describe them as
Poles. I will only mention a few, the most outstanding, those that the
whole world knows were German; the Poles nevertheless dare to list them
as Polish. The Poles prefer to make themselves ridiculous than admit the
truth. As long as they can brag, they figure sometimes they will be
believed.
Nicholas Copernicus! Because this great man was born
in Thorn on the Weichsel and Thorn is called Toruń in Polish, then he
must necessarily have been a Pole. He was a great man of Polish science.
And because there is no proof of this, they replace the proof very
simply with the following sort of statement:
Greece and Rome are no more, they only exist
through Homer and Virgil, so let Poland exist through Copernicus.
Copernicus is the honor of the nation, the glory of the Poles!
I took this documented megalomania of the Poles and
arrogance from the brochure by Rudolf Trenkel, my countryman from Thorn,
called "Poland’s Guilt for the Second World War". Does anyone believe
it, in Germany or elsewhere? Can a scholar who remained ignorant of the
Polish language until the end of his life, who is not known ever to have
written or spoken a single word of Polish, be a Pole?
The German astronomer, Johannes Hevelius, too,
because he was born in Danzig, is incorporated and included in a
pictorial table depicting various Poles.
Same thing with the sculptor, Veit Stoß, from
Nuremberg. The Poles call him Wit Stwosz, because at the time when he
created the great sculptures for the royal castle at Cracow, he
naturally lived at Cracow. Even the highest representatives of the
Church, the late Primate of Poland, Stefan Wyszynski and the present
Pope, Karol Wojtyla, were not ashamed to call him Wit Stwosz, alleging
that Stoß had "received his strength and inspiration from the Polish
environment, the Polish culture and landscape". And this, although they
had just said, a few lines above, that they left the Germans their names
and customs, that nothing was taken away from them.
Poland received everything from the Germans and this
is the reason for their limitless hatred. They have an inferiority
complex and don’t realize it. That’s why they take over everything that
seems desirable to them, but they don’t want to admit that they have so
much to thank the Germans for, that without German help they would be
nothing. Even their epoch-making dictionary of the Polish language
didn’t come from them, but from the German professor and resident of
Thorn, Samuel Gottlieb Linde, a philologist who was a praeses and head
of the Warsaw Lyceum (1771 - 1847) and who only learned Polish as an
adult.
But there were also Poles who knew full well what
they owed Germany. The former Polish head of state Josef Pilsudski once
told his countrymen in anger that the new Poland wasn’t the result of
the work of the Poles, but of the blood of German soldiers fallen in
battle. So they hated him, too. Trenkel quotes Pilsudski’s words from
1922 in "Poland’s Guilt for the Second World War 1920 - 1939":
“My pride is completely silent when I think
that not we, not the Poles and not our efforts led to this gigantic
upset. People are able to greet me with cannon salvos today in Cracow,
Vilna or Posen, playing the national anthem and with Polish soldiers
standing at attention.”
Later he even told them once:
"What have you done with this state? You’ve made it an object of ridicule ."
We must remember that the Kingdom of Poland was
restored by Germany in 1916, in the midst of the First World War with
all magnificence and glory.
In order to understand the connections, the historical developments must be recalled from forgetfulness.
Poland (Congress Poland) was part of Czarist Russia,
divided into ten Russian “gouvernements”. As early as 1915, the German
and Austrian troops were fighting Russia and had reached the borders of
Congress Poland. The German Reichs chancellor, von Bethmann-Hollweg, in
his speech in the Reichstag on 19 August 1915, offered the Poles a happy
future, when he remarked:
"...Our troops, and those of Austria-Hungary,
have reached the borders of Congress Poland to the East, and both are
responsible for administering the country.
“...I hope that the present occupation of the
Polish borders to the East will be the beginning of a development which
will eliminate the old conflicts between Germans and Poles and lead the
country from the Russian yoke into a happy future, in which the nature
of its national life will be cared for and able to develop..."
And the solemn proclamation in the old royal palace
at Warsaw was read out by the German Governor General, the infantry
general von Beseler on 5 November 1916.
Even the telegram of thanks to Kaiser Wilhelm II and Kaiser Franz Josef I dated 5 November 1916 has been preserved. I quote:
"On this day, when the Polish people
declares, that it is free and will receive an independent state with its
own king and government, the breast of every freedom-loving Pole is
filled with a feeling of gratitude towards those who freed the country
with their blood and led it to the renewal of its independent life...
“We are therefore sending our thanks and our
assurance that the Polish people will be able to maintain the faith with
its allies..."
(Quoted from "Enduring Hypocrisy" by Kurt Relle.)
Polish gratitude evaporated so quickly that in 1922
Pilsudski was compelled to remind the Poles that it wasn’t the Poles
that brought about this tremendous development. Gratitude and faith to
those who purchased Poland’s freedom from Russian serfdom with their
blood are things the Poles do not understand.
The bloody terror in Upper Silesia under the Korfanty
bands raged from 1919 to 1923. At that time, as today, the Poles kept
silent about German generosity, without which they would never have
obtained a free state, but would instead have remained under the Russian
yoke. But the following is how Polish historians describe the events in
1915-16 today.
"The outbreak of the First World War awakened
the hopes of the Poles... in 1915, German and Austrian-Hungarian troops
occupied the areas annexed by Russia. The war, which was dragging on,
and the resulting lack of reserves, were the reasons why the Central
Powers, in November 1916, issued an act of the planned creation of a
Polish Kingdom, dependent on them. They convened the bodies of the
future state, initially, the Provisional State Council, then the Council
of Regents. But the plan to gain recruits in this manner for the
planned army didn’t pan out. Moreover, the imperialistic plans of the
new masters over these Polish territories became increasingly clear. The
partial taking into consideration of the Polish postulates (the
language question, creation of a Polish school system) did not prevent
them from systematically plundering the country, stealing its food and
raw materials, and destroying its industry. The brutal methods and the
kidnapping of hundreds of thousands for forced work led to more and more
resistance ...
“On 7 November 1917, the capitalistic
government in Russia was overthrown by revolutionary workers and
farmers. A new stage in human history began ...A party came to power
which had formulated the solution of the right to independence and
without reservation of Poland’s right to independence…
“A few days after the formation of the
government, partly through armed struggle, the Germans were driven out
of Warsaw and from the other parts of the Kingdom. In the capital city,
the central leadership of the independent state arose. At its head
stood, as provisional head of state, Josef Pilsudski, who was freed from
a German prison. The liberated areas were surrounded by a German army
of more than a million men, who still formed a strong military power in
Eastern Europe. For this reason, the liberation of the western regions
of Poland was achieved through heavy fighting.
“In the final phase of the war, seven
well-trained and well-armed Polish divisions were fighting against the
Germans on the Western front under the command-in-chief of General Josef
Haller."
This description is a lie from beginning to end.
Neither the Central Powers nor Lenin did anything for the resurrection
of the Polish state. Neither the Central Powers nor the other new
masters (!) of the Polish areas plundered or robbed, or destroyed
industries or kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Poles for forced work.
And Josef Pilsudski was never in a German prison, and therefore could
not have been freed from one. Pilsudski spent time in Russian prisons
and in Siberia. He never lived in the German eastern provinces, but
rather, in then Congress Poland, which was under Russian rule. He fought
in the underground against the Czarist oppression of Poland and was
therefore repeatedly interned by the Russians. At the beginning of the
war, he fought on the German side for an independent Poland. But the
Polish gratitude, and announcement of faith of 1916 was quickly
forgotten, since as early as 1917 the Reichs government was compelled to
take Pilsudski into custody as a prisoner of war. He was treated as an
officer with full honors in the fortress of Magdeburg, which was
customary on the German side. Did the Poles get him out of there and
free him? Oh, the magnificent Poles!
In the confusion of the collapse in 1918 the Germans
brought him back to Poland. But without Polish acts of heroism, there
would be no Polish history. You can also call them Polish lies.
Nor did the Germans have any reason to destroy Polish
industry, since they wanted an independent Poland. For the same
reasons, the Germans didn’t need to be driven out of the country after
heavy fighting. But the Polish heroes would, at least subsequently, like
to have been victorious over a German army of over a million men. In
their daydreams, and in their hatred of everything German, they invent
the most contemptible slanders, in which there is not the slightest
shred of truth. Hundreds of thousands of German soldiers shed their
blood for the freedom of Poland, but these ungrateful people lie so
cheekily that they claim to owe their independence to Lenin!
This pack of lies also mentions “well-armed Polish
divisions”, alleged to have fought against the Germans at the final
phases of the war, under the command-in-chief of General Josef Haller.
In reply I would like to cite the periodical "Waffenjournal", to show
who this general really was. The periodical reports that in 1918, after
the restoration of Poland, the Polish officer corps consisted 90% of the
former officers of the Austrian and German army. The Polish cavalry
also consisted almost exclusively of former Austrian-Galician cavalry
regiments of the Austrian Imperial Army. Initially, there were still
German commands, until a Polish command language was formed. Thus, here
as well, the Poles have nothing of their own to show for themselves, but
rather, took over their state and even their officers from the Germans.
And how old can a people really be, if, in 1920, it possessed no firmly
established language and had to take over foreign officers in their own
service? And these officers from the Austrian Imperial army also
included the later Polish general, General Josef Haller, offspring of an
aristocratic Austrian family (Edler von Haller). As I well remember, he
later became an adversary of Pilsudskis.
At this point I would like to mention other Generals
of German ancestry, for example, General Anders, who formed an elite
troop of large numbers of locally resident Poles in Alsace in 1939 and
fought against Germany on the French side. The French used this Polish
legion in the most dangerous positions, so that after the war, the only
Poles left in Alsace were widows and orphans. And there was a specially
famous German name in the Polish army who has been forgotten among us –
the former the former Austrian Imperial Ulanenrittmeister [Austrian
Captain of Lancers] Julian Rommel, after 1920 and 1939, commander of the
military district of Posen. Julian Rommel belonged to the South-German
branch of the Rommel family, who went to Poland with August the Strong.
The Polish Rommel is supposed to have been rather similar to the German
Field Marshal Rommel. There was also a Polish Admiral von Unruh, whose
family was of German origin, and many others. With this listing of
Polish patriots, we mustn’t forget the Foreign Minister Josef Beck, who
was also of German descent, as indicated by his name.
The periodical "Waffenarsenal" also reports, that at
the outbreak of the war in 1939, in Poland there was a stock of
approximately 300,000 M12 pistols, as was discovered after the
occupation of Warsaw as a result of an examination of [Polish] records
by the German army. These 300,000 army pistols consisted 50% of Austrian
M12 army pistols manufactured in the Austrian Steyr Works, which
pistols came into the possession of the Poles after 1918. It will easily
be seen that the Germans were even too kind-hearted as to arm their
future enemies. Germans were always ready to fight for the rights, or
alleged rights, of other peoples. The Poles thank us with abysmal
hatred; they incorporate the men they need and hate and persecute their
brothers. Will the Germans ever realize this? Or is this blind altruism
simply in our blood? If so, we are doomed to perish in the long term,
since foreign people are sucking our blood and marrow out.
The Poles ignore everything favorable to Germany,
because they have so little of their own that they can be proud of. So
they invent the most unbelievable fairy tales and slanders. In 1977, a
700-page book was published by the Interpress Verlag in Warsaw, entitled
POLAND. For connoisseurs in the matter, it is a gold mine of Polish
lies. The book is [also in the form of] a governmentally approved
translation in Germany, in which the names, however, are all given in
Polish. This is supposed to suggest that these names existed even
thousands of years ago.
In this book, all the work of construction, all the
services of the Germans are attributed to the Poles, since they
happened, after all, under Polish kings. And still they brag about a
very high level of culture. They lie so openly, as in the case of Linde
or Veit Stoss, they just camouflage it a little, by saying “the
three-field system was introduced under King Kazimierz Wielki and the
first stone houses were built”. Kazimierz Wielki is said to have taken
over a wooden Poland and left a Poland of stone. This is why he’s called
Kazimierz Wielki, i.e., Casimir the Great. And this isn’t even a lie,
that was really the case. But they forget that the “Poland of Stone”,
which didn’t even yet exist at that time, was built up by the
hard-working German settlers, who also introduced the three-field system
and brought the first iron plows with them. The Germans are only
mentioned in passing, so to speak, and even so, as if they had
contributed very little to the urbanization of the country.
Precisely that which affects Poland, will be blamed
on the Germans. This can only happen because they refuse to recognize or
admit their own inferiority complex.
That’s why this 700-page tome is not as harmless as
one may perhaps assume. Because only people with a very good knowledge
of Polish history can recognize all these lies and distortions. The lay
person of good will, especially the gullible Germans, who cannot imagine
the extent to which their enemies lie, for example, in this book, will
not perceive the fabrications. Even the translation is intended for
foreigners, without any real knowledge of Poland. The original, in
Polish, however, conveys the same fabrications and lies to the Poles,
especially, the young, who have no way of judging the facts. And this is
the worst thing about it, since here, the basis is laid for new
untruths, new historical falsifications, which are peddled to future
generations as irrefutable truths. The younger generation “learns” from
this book not a single good deed of the Germans, regardless of which
century we’re talking about, they only learn, what a magnificent,
heroic, noble, human, scholarly, and highly educated people the Poles
have been since the beginning of their existence as a nation and have
also remained. The greatest artists, the greatest architects, the
greatest scientists in all fields, are claimed as their own. For
example, the first heart transplant operation on a human being is said
to have been performed in Warsaw, the greatest architects are said to
have created “Polish” Gothic architecture, the famous schools of
archeology produced the most magnificent and world-famous archeologists,
and they carried out the most interesting and most valuable excavations
in the world. In the present age, the Poles have never brought forth
great achievements, they have invariably failed and wrecked their
country, but in the past, they were always way ahead of everybody else.
There are no limits to this kind of fantasy.
And in this 700-page tome there is so much room, so
much paper to print, that even the most obvious daydreams are vividly
depicted as historical fact. They don’t stop to think that they are
making themselves look ridiculous. I only wish to quote a few examples.
Right at the beginning of the following story we learn:
"Even before the creation of the Polish
state, traces of human habitation were found on Polish soil. 50,000
years ago, a central-Polish glacier already existed. After it withdrew,
the first settlements of the Neanderthals appeared in the caves near
Zawiercie and Ojców (the salt mines in the Beskids). During the
withdrawal of the Ice Age, settlements of the earlier Paleolithic hunter
culture extended into the northern Malopolska. On the sand hills of
Mazowsze are traces of hunter camps which existed 14,000 years ago. The
inhabitants of the settlements of the earlier Stone Age founded the
culture of the embellishment of clay vessels, which was called strip
ceramics. They resided above all in the loess soils of Southern Poland,
Slask, Malopolska and the region of Lublin. Gradually, the settlements
drove forward those of the cattle raisers, thus, for example, to Kujawy
and the region around Pyrzyce in Pomorze Zachodnie. In Malopolska,
flintstone ditches arose. The biggest of the ditches was the
Untertagebau in Krzemioni Opatowskie. The flintstone tools from these
ditches and out of the quarries of Dolny Slask and at the foot of the
Sleza mountains spread over the mid-Polish lowlands, etc.
I think that’s enough nonsense for now.
Yes, they can’t remain in the realm of the real,
their fantasy demands more, says the Polish Professor Limanowski. If
they have one piece of land in their hands, they want the whole world.
And now they are even trying to get it.
But what’s strange is that no matter how crazy and
arrogant they are, there are always enough influential people ready to
repeat these fairy tales. Articles appear in German newspapers,
reporting on Polish band ceramics. The invention of the Glagolitic
Church language as the new Polish lingua franca took almost 300 years,
until it actually became a linguistic reality to some extent. I am
afraid that it won’t take as long for the knowledge of the Polish band
ceramics and the Polish Neanderthals to become a generally accepted
myth.
Now let’s look at a second example:
The sudden attack of the Bohemian Duke
Bretislav I in 1038 or 1039, on Wielkopolska, led to the plundering of
the most important cities of the Polish state (Gniezno, Poznań and
others). Śląsk was predominantly occupied by Bohemians. Through the loss
of Pomorze, the then Polish state was cut off from the Baltic. The
reconstruction of the weakened state began in Malopolska. The rulers’
seat was shifted from the cities of the Polanen to Cracow. Cracow was
more closely related to the active political life of Western and Eastern
Europe.
Now, it is a historical fact that Cracow was occupied
by Germans before the invasion of the Mongol hordes in 1241 and was
only a small castle and market town, which was destroyed and burnt down
by the Mongols. The Germans rebuilt Cracow and received the privilege
from the rules of the country in 1257 of only accepting Germans as
citizens. In 1259, it was again conquered by the Mongols. The Polish
historian Ptaśnik states that Cracow was still “almost completely
German” into well into the 15th century.
The Poles however spread the fairy tale that the seat
of the rulers was shifted to Cracow from the cities of the “Polanen” as
early as 1039 after a Bohemian attack. In 1039, there was neither a
Wielkopolska nor a Malopolska nor the city of Cracow, since these only
began to develop from insignificant market towns into the largest cities
in the region after the invasion of the Mongol hordes in 1241, with the
added privilege of only accepting Germans as citizens. The Polish fairy
tale and the historical reality are still 200 years apart.
And what are we to think of the
"...famous Polish excavations, which became
some of the most important centers of archeology in the world, led by
the ‘most important scholars’ of the 20th century, from Josef
Kostrrewski’s ‘famous’ school of archeology. His excavations proved the
original and uninterrupted presence of Slavic tribes in the hinterlands
of the Oder und Weichsel as well as in Pomorre. He conducted significant
studies of the ancient culture of the Slavs - among other things, the
famous defensive settlement at Biskupin, proof of the culture of Lausitz
from the earliest Iron Age – and throughout his entire lifetime
combated the chauvinistic conception of a few German archeologists (when
Poland was liberated from the Hitler fascists, his name therefore stood
on the list of persons especially wanted by the Gestapo.)
Josef Kostrzewski undertook and produced an
extensive synthesis of the results of archeology, philology and
ethnography and proved that the culture of Lausitz (from the Iron Age)
belonged to the ancient Slavs. ... Simultaneous, and subsequent,
investigations by Kostrzewski’s students as well as by other
archeologists... confirmed the historical rights of the Poles to the
regions on the Oder, Lausitzer Neiße and Baltic, and simultaneously
proved that the statements of a few German historians of the allegedly
decisive role of German colonization in the economic development of
medieval Poland was false.
History is one of the sciences of which the
Poles are very fond. 19th century Poland produced a whole series of
excellent historical scholars. Polish interest in history was always
particularly keen. In the times of the defeat of the Polish state the
Poles gladly created courage and hope out of history, in which they made
themselves familiar with the greatness and culture of the Polish
republic of the nobles. And in history, the Poles sought lessons for the
future."
I am compelled to quote at such length in order to be
able to answer with historical facts. The Poles deny the decisive role
of German services in the construction of the country, because naturally
the land can only belong to those who made it cultivable and fruitful
for over 900 years, who cleared the forests, built fields, bridges and
roads, dug canals, built cities and villages and the most magnificent
cathedrals and universities. If they admit that they themselves failed
to participate in this cultivation of the land and life, then they have
no right to its possession. This is why they so conscientiously restore
the old structures, because at least then they can base the appearance
of a right of possession on them. And in order to make it all a bit more
impressive, they attempt to prove the existence of an ancient Slavic
culture. They invent so many hordes of “magnificent scholars and
archeologists” that one must really ask how many of them ever really
existed. No other people can produce such long lists of names of great
scientists in every field, not even the people of poets and thinkers,
otherwise known as the Germans. They really need to prove to the Germans
that the ancient Slavs not only date back to the Iron and Bronze Ages,
but that they inhabited central Polish glaciers as far back as 50,000
years. On the greatness and culture of the Polish Republic of the
Nobles, to which they refer so proudly in order to create courage and
hope for the future. Just a few years ago, there was a Polish TV
broadcast in which the Polish speakers reported on the corruption and
venality of the nobles and the serfdom and oppression of the people and
made bitter accusations. There is an interesting acknowledgement of the
former candidate for the Polish Crown Throne, Stanislaw Leszczynski,
from the year 1733, confirming these accusations:
"I cannot recall with a shudder the law that
fined a nobleman no more than 50 Franks for killing a peasant. In our
nation, for this price, people purchase freedom from the restraints of
the law. Poland is the only country in which the population is losing
all human rights to speak."
And the French Colonel Dumouriez, who was able to study the conditions very closely during a mission in 1770:
"The Poles fought for their constitution, for
their freedom; they should have started out by destroying them. The
Polish constitution is a pure aristocracy, in which the nobles can rule
but never the people. It is impossible to apply this name to 7 or 8
million serfs, attached to the soil, without any rights or dignity, who
are sold, traded, inherited as slaves, and who have to put up with all
these changes in ownership like domestic animals. The social bodies of
the Poles are monsters. Its government has only heads and stomachs, but
no arms and legs, and its laws are like those of a sugar colony, which
for the same reasons cannot lay claim to any independence. "
Both quotes from the “Slavic Legend”.
History is not erased so easily, as the editors of
the new fairy tale book on Poland’s past might have thought. There are
still in the archives many proofs to the contrary. Even Professor
Markiewicz’s only recently announced position on the film “Scars”
clearly contradicts the inventions of the literati of the great interest
of the entire people in the history of Poland. If this were so, he
would have not have been able to say:
"The historical consciousness of the Polish
people is not formed by historians and historical scholars, but rather
by their great poets and writers Adam Mickiewicz and Henryk
Sienkiewicz."
Anybody who lies too much, no longer knows what lies
have already been told by other peoples. The 19th century didn’t produce
a whole series of excellent Polish historical scholars but a whole
series of chauvinistic hacks, that spat on everything German and laid
the basis for the later endless hatred. This hatred didn’t exist in
Polish literature until around 1820; even during the time of the
Christian conversion by the Crusaders they didn’t lie so bloodthirstily
and disgustingly.
Thus the novel "With Fire and Sword" has no claim to
be historical, but rather, as in this new fairy tale book, note should
be taken according to the intention of Henryk Sienkiewicz "to fortify Polish hearts".
But the effects are such that it is perceived as truth by all strata of
the population, including the highest clergy, as he proves in his
so-called "Offer of Reconciliation". These historical writers are now
elevated to the level of historical scholars, "further strengthening
Polish hearts". History is that simple.
The following is another example from the fairy tale
book in the field of “Theater Culture”. On page 476, the “Traditions of
Polish Art” are explained and it says literally:
"Upon the first appearance of the Dynasty of
the Piasts, there sojourned there, in the form of two young angels, as
guests, who, according to the Slavic custom, were greeted with mead and
milk. The good-natured devil Bomta, who haunted the crossroads, was
educated according to the manner of the Schlachta aristocracy, the
‘cosmopolitan’; Satan, by contrast, who leads men to evil, wore the
German costume."
Can Polish culture be better revealed than during
this admitted hatred? What a flood of lies is released into the world
merely to avoid admitting that really they have the Germans to thank for
everything. There is not a single piece of truth in this whole lie rag.
Thus, for example, even the above mentioned Professor Linde, who only
learned Polish as an adult and mastered it so well that he gave the
Poles their first dictionary and grammar book, is described in this book
as a Pole born in Sweden.
The same thing happens with the magnificent
structures dating back to the 12th century. Nor are the Germans even
mentioned as the people who designed and built them. The Poles make
themselves look so ridiculous, that they take flight in an imaginary
"Polish Gothic Art". Or at the most, they mention the Cistercian monks
as the builders of the subsidiary branch of the Morimond Cloister
(Burgund) - "an expression of the immediate relations with France." The
"Polish Gothic Art" built the most beautiful buildings in every city,
the Poles endlessly repeat. If one were to destroy everything in the
country that was built by Germans or Italians, if one left only those
structures built by Poles, there would be nothing left in the cities
except rental high-rises, boring brick houses shaped like children’s
building blocks, from the turn of the century and a few modern
residential areas, which have nothing special with which to delight the
eye. But this Polish “history book“ has to prove the contrary and
therefore they have to lie.
I stumbled upon another especially wicked distortion
and slander in the above mentioned “history book”, which I cannot leave
unmentioned. Every resident of Poland was aware of the all-pervasive
anti-Semitism which permeated all strata of Polish society. The Jews
were hated and persecuted just as much as the Germans, perhaps more than
the Germans. Over and over again, boycotts were proclaimed against
Jewish shops, and signs reading "Nie kupuj u zyda" (Don’t Buy From Jews)
could be seen in most Polish shop windows. There were times when the
Jews were as unsafe on the streets as the Germans. When I was in Warsaw
in 1943-44 after a fairly long time away, I heard many Poles say they
were grateful to Hitler for freeing the country from the Jews, but that
Poland wasn’t as “free from the Jews” as they would have hoped, so the
Poles soon organized their own pogroms. There are many Jewish writers
and politicians who reported on this, so many newspapers reported on
these pogroms. There is no doubt about this.
Now listen to the way Polish historical writers exploit these facts. I quote from page 104:
"In the German’s view, the Jews were dying
too slowly in the ghettoes, so they went over to their final
liquidation, whether through murder on the spot, or by means of special
camps. Of more than 3 million Jews, only a few tens of thousands
survived. They owed their lives to the Polish population. Although
helping Jews was punishable by the death penalty, the Poles smuggled
food into the ghettoes and hid those who successfully escaped from the
ghettoes. There was a special organization which combined many Polish
organizations and brought help to the Jewish population – the Assistance
Council for Jews."
This is so perfidious, that it takes one’s breath
away. The Poles, who would never have given the Jews as much as a glass
of water, claim to have created an organization to help them! What a
generous and selfless people, that risks its lives to help Jews! This is
the way the Poles write history now-a-days, and this is the way they
wrote it hundreds of years ago.
The same lie techniques are employed with regards to Blomberg Bloody Sunday, just not as obviously. Briefly, they say:
"Immediately after termination of combat, they (the Germans) murdered tens of thousands of Poles in Bydgoszcz."
I would now like to speak about why these enormous
historical falsifications are dished up on such a huge scale. First, the
Poles naturally want to reduce their inferiority complex, which is why
they describe themselves as such a noble people, so completely without
defect or fault. But they are pursuing much more distant objectives,
than merely that of enhancing their own value in their own eyes. That
which becomes known here and there ought really to shake the Germans out
of their slumbers.
For several years now, the various newspapers in
Northern Germany have been carrying reports by German academics, who are
supposed to have stumbled upon records in the old church books and
personal records, referring to “original ancient Slavic” rights and
settlements in the areas of Kiel and Braunschweig and Kassel all the way
down to Nuremberg and east of Munich. You also need to know that ethnic
Polish officers and non-commissioned officers have, for years, been
drilled into thinking that Lübeck, Lauenburg and Ratzeburg are "original
ancient Slavic territory", with a resulting historical claim on the
part of the “Slavic family of peoples” to all of Schleswig-Holstein.
In the 1930s, both in Poland and abroad, Poland
published a propaganda postcard with the support of the governmental
authorities. This postcard was distributed as representing “historical
truth”. Poland’s borders are drawn in with the white eagle of prey,
while all of Slovakia, Czechia, the German territories all the way to
Dresden-Berlin-Baltic, all of Silesia, Pomerania, West Prussia and East
Prussia are included. The map was distributed with these added comments.
Poland was already striving for these borders even before it obtained
the British guarantee declaration. Poland was convinced that it could
obtain this expansion of their territory by war, which is why they
prayed in the churches for the great War of the Peoples:
O wielką wojnę ludów prosimy Cię, Panie! (For the Great War of the Peoples We Pray to You, Lord !)
After England decided upon war against Germany and
Poland was prepared to start the war against Germany in exchange for the
English guarantee declaration, the newspaper "Dziennik Poznański", in
its edition of 26 June 1939, published a new map, in which the borders
had been expanded far beyond those shown in the 1930s. The map is also
attached. It shows the course of the borders as follows: the entire
Baltic as far as Kiel, straight across Schleswig-Holstein to Bremen,
down to Hannover, Göttingen, Kassel, Fulda, Frankfurt/Main, Nuremberg.
We are grateful to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung for publishing
this Poland territorial claim in their issue of 31 August 1979.
And since Germans are already attempting to confirm
the territories of Lower Saxony, including Luneburg and Luneburg Heide,
demanded as “land of the Wends”, as Slavic, these territories will no
doubt be “given back” at some time in the not-so-distant future. Silesia
has already been “given back”, since Cardinal Wyszynski expressly
stated as follows in Breslau:
When we look around at these places of
worship, we know that we have not taken over any German heritage. It was
not the German soul, but the Polish soul, that speaks from these
stones. We waited for these buildings until they returned to our hands.
The Cardinal knew that he was lying and that
everybody in the world must have known it. Nevertheless, he lied, and
there was no outcry, either in ecclesiastical or governmental circles,
for a rectification of this lie. Doesn’t this prove that the Polish
Church considers every lie and every falsification to be justified if it
simply brings the Church closer to its goals? Didn’t it also tell loads
of whoppers in its so-called “Offer of Reconciliation”? I remember the
infamous insults against the King of Prussia by the highest
representatives of the Polish Church, when Frederick the so-called Great
was made responsible for the first partition of Poland, although Poland
had been under Russian rule since the time of Peter the Great, i.e.,
since about 1700, and a free Poland no longer existed for Frederick to
“partition”. In the so-called First Partition, Russia retained 82%,
Austria 10% and Prussia only 8% of the country, in which case it was
simply regaining control of ancient Prussian territory? Doesn’t this
figure of 82% for Russia make obvious who was really responsible for the
partition?
When Frederick the Great regained ancient German
territory which had only partially been subject to the Polish King, he
liberated a poor, miserable people from the serfdom and oppression of a
power-hungry and degenerate clique of the nobility. The land that
Frederick regained control of, had been desolate and uncultivated since
an outbreak of the Black Death in 1709 until the partition in 1772, and
the people were so bullied and exploited by the arrogant and inhuman
nobility that one could hardly call them “people” any more, so that the
change in rule and order was greeted with joy.
THAT is the reality that the Polish bishops wish to turn into an accusation against Germany today by claiming that:
"The laws of economics, history and religion
demand justice, as well as historical justice, demand that the Western
territories now regained should remain forever Polish.”
This is a quotation from the former bishop of Cracow, Karol Wojtyla!
Just what the Polish Church was really after is
revealed by another quotation from the Cardinals und Primate of Poland,
Stefan Wyszynski, in 1965:
In regaining the Polish Western territories,
with the destruction of the Prussian State and the destruction of the
German Reich, the Counter-Reformation has achieved its goal.
Here, the Primate really lets the cat out of the bag.
And he’s not just the head of the Polish Church, who pursues this goal.
The entire Polish clergy lends assistance in so doing.
This quotation is both proof that Poland had a hidden war objective and therefore pushed for war.
The Cardinal gave an interview long ago on Austrian
television. In so doing, the reproach was made against him that the
Polish clergy had not done enough for Poland. In reply, he insisted that
during the war, there was not a single Polish priest that did not fight
with weapons in his hand. Does this require any comment?
One must keep all this in mind when the question is
raised, on the German side, of who bears responsibility for the outbreak
of the Second World War. Our gullible Germans are unable to conceive of
the means employed by our adversaries to achieve their goals. In
Germany, we even help them massively by further smashing the Third Reich
as much as we can. In all public media, the abettors occupy all
positions. How else would it be possible for so many lie films to be
inserted in the television programming?
I have already mentioned the three-part film Scars,
which is supposed to contribute to better understanding between German
and Polish residents of Danzig. But it was nothing but one long libel
against the Germans and a whitewashing of the Poles.
Revealingly, two quotations from the Poles were
nevertheless brought up during the concluding discussion. I have already
mentioned the first one, from Prof. Markiewicz. I would nevertheless
like to repeat it here, since we must not forget it and should recall it
back into the memory of the school book commission:
“The historical consciousness of the Polish
people is not formed by historians and scholars, but by their great
poets and writers, Adam Mickiewicz and Henryk Sienkiewicz.”
Isn’t that clear proof of what I have said, that
Poles are not concerned with the truth, but rather, solely and
exclusively, with establishing their own daydreams, so that their
interpretation of history may be cemented for all time? This
interpretation could, in turn, then be linked to financial and economic
demands and extortion. In view of the gullibility of the Germans and
their lack of endurance in the struggle for their own rights, the Poles
hope to achieve their goals, as they have already announced the
achievement of their goals, through the destruction of Prussia and the
destruction of the German Reich .
But even the reporter Zdanowski let the cat out of
the bag and revealed the Polish objectives and the Polish character,
when he declared:
"A CATHOLIC GERMAN IS NOT A TRUE GERMAN!"
This sentence should be read several times and should
not be forgotten, since this is an announcement of the next objective
of the Poles. The former Pope Karol Wojtyla has already spoken of the
restoration of a new God’s State on Earth. According to his own
admission, this can only be a Catholic state. But according to the
Polish view, Catholic is synonymous with Polish. If a German Catholic
cannot be a true Catholic, then logically, he can only be a Pole. Just
like how the Bamberg Catholics were completely and by force deprived of
the Sacraments and were Polonized by force and other means, so the
Counter-Reformation will not call a halt with the present situation of
the destruction of the German Reich and the destruction of Prussia. The
objectives could not be expressed more clearly. The public maps no only
confirm the megalomania of the Poles but also that the Poles are
exploited by powers in the background. A people that prays for a great
War of the Peoples in its church services, can very easily be turned
into torches. All the more so, when a son of this people, raised to the
Chair of St. Peter, forgets himself to such an extent that during a
visit by his countrymen in Castel Gandolfo, when the latter full of
enthusiasm and ardour sang their infamous "Rota", sang along with them
into the microphone. Perhaps this was the answer to demands from the
environment of the Vatican to stop the perceptible favoritism granted to
Polish pilgrims. The German pilgrims present listened in disgust when
they heard the Pope singing the “Rota” along the Polish pilgrims. Every
Pole must have felt confirmed in their demands and objectives. The
following is the text of the "Rota":
Nie rzucim ziemi skąd nasz ród,
Nie damy pogrześć mowy,
Polski my naród, polski lud,
Królewski szczep piastowy.
Nie damy by nas zniemczył wróg!
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Do krwi ostatniej kropli z żył
Bronić będziemy ducha,
Aż się rozpadnie w proch i w pył
Krzyżacka zawierucha.
Twierdzą nam będzie każdy próg.
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Nie damy miana polski zgnieść,
Nie pójdziem żywo w trumnę
W Ojczyzny imię i w jej cześć
Podnosim czoła dumne.
Odzyska ziemię dziadów wnuk.
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Nie będzie Niemiec pluł nam w twarz,
Ni dzieci nam germanił!
Orężny wstanie hufiec nasz,
Duch będzie nam hetmanił.
Pójdziem, gdy zabrzmi złoty róg.
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
Tak nam dopomóż Bóg!
We won't abandon the land whence our kin.
We won't let our native tongue be buried,
Polish people we are, Polish folk,
We are of the Royal Piast clan.
We won't let the enemy Germanize us!
So help us God!
So help us God!
To the last drop of blood in our veins
We'll defend our spirit,
Till dissipates into powder and dust
The Teutonic gale.
Every threshold will be a stronghold for us.
So help us God!
So help us God!
We won't let Poland's name be trampled,
We won't alive into a coffin go
In Motherland's name and her glory
We raise our foreheads proudly.
The grandparents' land the grandson will regain.
So help us God!
So help us God!
The German won't spit in our face,
Nor Germanize our kids!
Our phalanx armed will arise,
The spirit will command us.
We'll go when the golden horn calls.
So help us God!
So help us God! |

No poem ever attained such popularity as the “Rota”
(the Oath), which is still sung today. The original edition was not
directed against the Germans, but rather against the Russians. Maria
Konopnicka composed it in about 1908. Through rewording, it was
redirected against the Germans and sung at the dedication of the
Grunwald Monument in Cracow for the first time in 1910. After that, it
became the combat song of the Pilsudski Legions. And now, in the Year of
Our Lord 1981, it was sung with enthusiasm in Castell Gandolfo with the
aiding and abetting of Pope John Paul II.
What a strange Christianity is revealed here. Songs
of hate are sung at the See of the Representative of Christ on Earth and
the Pontifix Maximus personally joins in, even over the microphone, so
that the whole world can hear. A whole people conserves the un-Christian
hatred for centuries, and lives off it. It considers the expulsion of
almost 15 million human beings from their centuries-old homeland and the
murder of more than 2 million more, after the war, to be justified and
announces the additional theft of further territories, i.e., further
expulsions. At the same time, these “Christian” expellers demand
assistance from those whom they have expelled and claim that they hunger
for the richest and most fruitful soil, while vodka instead of food is
made from potatoes, while begging letters are sent to everybody possible
and even to completely unknown private addresses, while one demands
understanding, pity and Christian love of one’s neighbor, and they repay
all this with hatred and insults from the domicile of the Pontifex
Maximus. Christianity, Polish-style!
Isn’t it about time for the Germans to start to understand all this?
For all those who have already forgotten the cruel
expulsion of 12 million people from their homes and even claim that it
was all a “humane resettlement”, I will, at the end of this brochure,
provide proof of the biggest crime of this century. It is the Special
Order, bearing the Polish eagle of the Polish government, for the
expulsion of the population of the city of Salzbrunn, one of many
similar cases.
This proof should be shown to former Minister of
State Dr. von Dohnanyi, who was not ashamed to tell his fellow citizens
who had been expelled and were refugees, in the face of all the truth,
that nobody was preventing them living there. He should be told that in
the reverse case, not one single Pole would have debased himself so much
as to speak to the dehumanized refugees about a “humane shifting and
exchange of populations“.
All Germans should be reminded of the statement of
Pius XII who was at any rate no Pole, on the annexation of German
territories by Poland. The papal opinion states:
"It is the greatest crime to rob 12 million refugees and 3 million dead."
One can only add that this opinion remains valid until the injustice is righted and repaired.
Freda Utley, an Englishwoman by birth, lecturer and newspaper correspondent with academic honors from the London University in history, spent a long time in Germany
after 1945, observing the conditions. In her book, “The High Cost of
Vengeance”, on page 162 [orig. English ed. Henry Regnery Co., Chicago, 1949, p. 143], she found a statement about the Germans, which deserves to be recalled to memory by all Germans:
"War propaganda has obscured the true facts
of history, otherwise Americans might realize that the German record is
no more aggressive, if as aggressive, as that of the French, British,
and Dutch who conquered huge empires in Asia and Africa while the
Germans stayed at home composing music, studying philosophy, and
listening to their poets. Not so long ago the Germans were, in fact,
among the most “peace-loving” peoples of the world and might become so
again, given a world in which it is possible to live in peace.
Mistaken as the Boeklers of Germany
may be in believing that concessions can be won from the Western powers
by negotiation, their attitude proves the willingness of many Germans
to trust to peaceful means to obtain their ends."
This peacefulness should not go so far that we all
abandon all our rights and no longer defend ourselves, when greedy
neighbors show an ever-increasing hunger for our country and falsify
history so much at the same time as if the Germans did nothing for a
thousand years and simply attacked and murdered the poor, noble “slavs”
over and again. Let us defend ourselves against these lies instead of
always helping our worst enemies get on their feet again so that they
can insult us and spit on us all over again. We Germans have no reason
to wear sackcloth and ashes and lie on the ground in humiliation; we can
be proud of our past, since there is no people on this earth which has
given so much to the world.
We have been learning how history is falsified,
almost every day since 1945. Just as now, it was also falsified earlier.
We have experience and suffered the devastating results of this
falsification upon people of the same origins and the same blood . If it
is ever to come to a peaceful way to understanding between Germans and
Poles, the past must be completely clarified and borne in all strata of
the population. Not only among us, but among our neighbors as well over
there. The Poles, who are ruled exclusively by feeling, must finally
take cognizance of history and not look at everything one-sidedly and in
their favor and blame the Germans for everything. Every people needs
its history and no man flourishes without a country. The German people
are therefore under an obligation not to allow their history to be
falsified by foreigners. It is time to put an end to the Polish
falsification of history; it must be annulled in order to vanquish
hatred. Only the truth can vanquish hatred. No matter how bitter it
might be, it is the only way to win the future.

Festen Mut in schweren Leiden,
Hilfe, wo die Unschuld weint,

Brüder, gält es Gut und Blut:
Dem Verdienste seine Kronen,
Untergang der Lügenbrut!

Note:
The fact of the expulsion is of course generally known, but I have
received a photocopy of an original of an original expulsion order,
which is only one of many.
I would like to bring it to public attention.
