Re: Primal Germanic Territory
Here are some shocking facts for you:
GERMANIC tribes briefly inhabited lands that were to become Poland. These tribes have no connection to the modern German state.
Most of these people moved on, and were replaced by Poles. Those who stayed behind mixed with Poles.
The KINGDOM OF POLAND was the first state to legaly claim these lands. The current Republic of Poland is the legal successor to that state.
The Germanization of Polish lands began after the Teutonic Knights were INVITED by Poland to help convert the pagan Baltic Prussians. The Knights overstayed their welcome, thus, Germanic Prussia is an illegal concept to begin with.
In other words, the current German state has NO rights to lands east of the Oder, and no German state ever did.
