Foreign minister Zbigniew Rau has signed a diplomatic note outlining Poland’s demand for war reparations from Germany, which the government has previously said could amount to $1.3 trillion. The note is to be transmitted to Berlin today ahead of a meeting between Rau and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock.
“The settlement of the consequences of German aggression and occupation should include, inter alia, payment by Germany of compensation for material and non-material damage caused to the Polish state,” said Rau today, quoted by the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
“Such a settlement will allow Polish-German relations to be based on justice and truth and will lead to the closing of painful chapters in the past and will ensure the further development of bilateral relations in the spirit of good neighbourliness and friendly cooperation,” he added.

Broadcaster RMF reports that the note is to be sent to Berlin today, with Baerbock due in Warsaw tomorrow for talks with Rau focused on security issues. The text of the document has not been revealed, so it is not known if it includes a demand for a specific amount of compensation.
RMF also reports that Poland’s demands include the return of looted cultural items and Polish bank holdings, as well as the granting of nationality minority status to Poles in Germany and the launching of an educational campaign in Germany about World War Two.
On 1 September – the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland in 1939 – the Polish ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party published a report compiled by a parliamentary team that calculated the losses caused by the six-year German occupation at $1.3 trillion in today’s terms.
At the time, PiS declared that it would be formally seeking reparations to compensate those losses, and the prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said that the government would soon be issuing a diplomatic note to Germany.
In response, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated Berlin’s longstanding position that the issue of reparations has already been “conclusively settled under international law”. Poland’s government, however, disputes that interpretation.
The Polish opposition has supported the reparations claim. However, it has also accused PiS of using the issue for political purposes, as part of a rise in anti-German rhetoric from the government ahead of next year’s elections.
In a speech last week, PiS chairman Jarosław Kaczyński pledged that, although “the fight for reparations will last a long time, we will carry it out with all consistency on a global scale…They [the Germans] try to present themselves to the world as a moral power, [but] they did more harm to us than to any other nation, apart from the Jews”.

Everybody must try this job now by just using this website.. http://www.Profit97.com

PiSs off Poland. Talk to Israel first.
I think Germany should invade poland. It would be a first. And likely to be a drawn-out invasion, but I think Germany could pull it off… 83 years ago
And how pray tell would the Polocks collect said money?
Let’s hope Refugeeland uber Alles will pony up and pay and pay and pay…everyone needs to line up – even former Axis allies i.e. Croatia and Hungary as well as plainly occupied nations including Czechia, Slovakia, Greece among others. It would be a Euro cash fest.
(But how did this take 77 years to finally come to the fore? )
that is the operative question. why now, after all these years?
I still have a golden diamond ring that a former boyfriend gave me in 1992. I wonder if he will want it back. Could be any day now.
Pthhhht. Statue of limitations has expired!!!
Get that thing appraised and then sell it any buy some more ammo for your arsenal!!!
As a German, I would expect you to have fine taste in firearms.
yes, I do want it back. and with interest on what I could have earned from the value
Fuck Poland and their delusions if not of grandeur, then even relevance. F their 70 years too late #MeToo moment and last, but not least, F Poland and Ima hoping the Russians are sending muey Poles home in a body bag from USkraine. That is all. I’m feeling so much love this evening. I better get a drink.
Well, at least they got the last line correct…
” they did more harm to us than to any other nation, apart from the Jews”.
So why cry to Germany, go cry to the tribe of tiny hats! They are awash in uncle scam bux courtesy of usaid.
Same for the joggers, go bellyache to your brethren tribes in wakanda who SOLD your ancestors to the evil white man!
No one has ever lined up to give me shit! Suck it up buttercup and get a j o b !
L.
The timing of this demand, aside from being almost 80 years late, seems extremely serendipitous…coming as it does on a wave of global defaults.
I guess they really aren’t that bright.
They think the US will step up and foot the bill, what with a guilty conscience about the Nordstream attack.
Laundering money and paying bribes right in front of everyone’s noses has been elevated to a high art form.
And the US, of course, will be happy to pay!!!
Next thing you know the Indians (feather) will want reparations. After all we’ve done for them!
poland can fuck itself. poland was the aggressor in the war with germany in 1939. hitler should have totally pulverized that backward retarded fuck country.
Huh? I remember history somewhat differently.
you need a new memory or new history book. you have been totally lied to by the same zionists who brought you your “vaccine”, the napoleonic wars, american civil war, spanish american war, world war 1, world war 2, korea, the fall of china, vietnam, the 6 day war, 9/11, the war on terror, the ukraine war, pedophilia cults, mutilation of children and so much more. did i leave anything out – you bet your ass i did – like debt based currency. and of course i could on and on about the holohoax.
Have the “jewish” grifters taken over poland? In addition to the germany scenario i remember a recent report of poland seeking oil profit sharing from norway and a more recent report of poland demanding ww2 reparations from russia. Bad luck with all that.
Everybody on the planet who has ever been done wrong are now looking for “Reparations”, but, It’s the Native Americans who got slaughtered and had all their lands stolen by the US CORPORATE Government and placed on little plots of land in the middle of nowhere that really deserve Reparations.
After all we’ve done for them?
The breakdown of Europe, and the western alliance, is occurring rapidly. Putin’s strategic goal, despite whatever problems Russian forces have experienced in Ukraine, has succeeded. As the privations of winter stress the Europeans, this will become glaringly evident.
