And they had a bloody hard time after WWII as well.
I wont go into it all here but last year we went to Dresden as part of the
link between Coventry and Dresden. We were taken to Gorlitz on the German
Polish/German border to meet some ex members of the "people's army". One
guy was telling us how he fought the Nazis during the war and they
welcomed in the "liberating" Russian army. He then spent nine years in a
Russian camp and returned "home" to find his house full of Russians.
No, I have no Polish ancestors or realtives.
Sorry for the rant
