At the begining of WW2 Poland was divided by Germans and Russians only (Ribbentrop-Molotov pact). That agreement was in big part confirmed in Jalta - there is really no need for Germans if you want to divide someones else country (so one third or more of pre-WW2 Poland is now east of Polish borders). British and Americans can do it also, maybe even beter. Thank you allies.

That's why I said:

ROTFLMAO, great one Zbyszek. That must be the most beautifully worded attack on the West that I've seen in a long time. The worst of it is that it's true and well deserved [img]smile.gif[/img]

(off the wall completely: Hey Nebling - missed you too, kitkat. Where've I been, - well, spaced, really. The workshop was incredible. Too in my body to do typing communication. Still finding it hard. Oh, life is lovely, la la la .... frolic... frolic...

Could it be they are bored with making the same point to the same people over and over and over again in the war forum...??? :big smile: I know I am............

Re posting in GD on the subject of my workshop - hmmm. Maybe I'll take a raincheck on that one. Think I'll send you an email instead!

Actually if I'm not mistaken Germany was actually divided into fifths, (and Berlin quarters). Britain, France, America and Russia and... Poland. Poland's part became an annexation though. Dissolving the aforementioned Prussia and Silesia.

Also the huge nation of Poland-Lithuania was at one time the largest in Europe.

You could say the Poles have shafted others in their time.

What went around came around.

Every nation could be labelled a rat fink by another nation whose interests collide.
