Silesia, Pomerania, and Prussia were only "German" because of German colonization in the Middle Ages. In Roman times, Germania encompassed pretty much the same territory that Germany does today, bounded by the Rhine, Danube, and Oder Rivers - not the Vistula, and certainly not the Niemen or Bug Rivers. Also note that Vilnius, Hrodna, and Lviv are not Russian, but part of an independent Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine respectively.

So what. The people were invited or moved there, but were expelled violently, millions died. Before the slavs were in central europe there were germanics. By your logic, countries like Czechia have no place on the map.

Poland certainly was moved quite far West from its traditional territory (look at a map of Poland post WWI) However, one can understand the feeling post WWII to try and prevent further German aggression. The tens of millions of Germans forcibly moved out of E. Europe is a largely untold story, and millions died. We all certainly recognize the suffering of the Poles in WW2. Simply put, this was a nasty situation all around. We are in a new century, and best wishes for a new era of friendship

Germany/Austria ist still ruling Czech republic and poland today economically.

Ruling? If Germany ruled Poland, then our language wouldn't sound so Russian.

@Alsterwasser territory has been exchanged many times, among different states. They are 100% Polish now. True many germans lived there, but lose a war and do not complain! I have nothing against Germans at all. I have been there, people are very nice. Poland borders not only moved west but east too, so we lost cities too. It was not a decision made by Poles or Poland at all. What you talk about is the past, better to leave it just like Poles who talk lviv/lwow, vilnius/wilno.

one question: Who have the most profits from (potential) Polish-German conflict? The answer is quite known

In fact. in the midlle ages, before 1500 a.d. prussians wanted to be with in polish bordes. read history more.

Historically speaking the borders were originally "german" tribes inhabiting those areas and switched hands from time to time. However now it is majority polish and should remain such. The genocide of the far Eastern germans by the Soviet Union should not be forgotten, just as the genocide the German Reich committed.

The eastern Polish territories were stolen from Poland and should be returned to Poland. The Western territories are PAYMENT for the crimes against Poland and the Polish people committed by Germany. These people's are neighbors and should be friendly and be good neighbors, but the territory is and will remain forever Polish as Germany must forfeit those territories for the crimes committed against the people and the complete destruction of Warsaw and the crimes against humanity committed against Poland.

History always repeat itself.

i see the point of your reply. however, what i was more interest in was what you meant with 'We don´t even have one common approach to our history'. Just because the countries went different paths doesn't mean that we necessarily have two contradicting views on our histroy.

cont'd: Although I think that there were huge differences in the war and cold-war generations I hope today's 20-40 year old europeans (east and west) have a converging rather than diverging views on our common history and decide to put past differences behind (i am just revering to current EU members, i suppose your comment alluding to generals was more aiming towards the Balkan).

how do u come to say this about germany and poland?

@lipaization No, I'm not stupid at all.

Poland hates most of it's bordering neighbours except probably Czechs and Belarus... But still, one of the most offensive things you can tell to an average Pole is "Poland loves Germany".

Even accordig to the Potsdam Agreement they are only under Polish "administration", but they still belong to Germany. Moreover, cities like Stetting and Breslau were NOT created by Poland, but by Germans.

You are wrong, Wrocław was in the Middle Ages even a functioning capital of Poland and on its way to become a permanent one. Wrocław Catholic metropoly was part of Polish Church until 1821. Berlin became part of Poland by the will of its legal ruler the prince Jaxa of Kopnick. Tell me what does Berlin mean in German language, its etymology ? Why Slavic hydronims and toponims are spread all over Germany but there is no equivalent phenomenon in Poland or Czechia ?

Only a sovereign state can legally give up territory. Therefore, if the Allied-occupied BRD "recognized" the "Oder-Neiße-Linie" is completely irrelevant for the borders of Germany. And what an arrogant and condescending remark by Herrn Reiter talking about if "Germany can be trusted"! How repulsive! Remember that it is Poland still occupying a big part of Germany, not vice versa! It's Germany that has good reason not to trust Poland, Herr Reiter!
