    1. And in their pursuit of aggressive war and expansionism the German nation ended up losing their centuries long presence in Poland and the Czech lands.

    2. Honestly, if you only look at the fully Black areas it’s surprisingly modest for the time.

    3. Polish Wielkopolska region in ”claimed” german culture borders? Wtf did they smoked out there in the past? Delusions.

      Tbf, the fully black areas connected directly to Germany were mostly correct… the rest tho..

      Tough thing they had those borders under Germany, and German dominated Austria, foolishly got themselves into war. Time was on Germanys side peacefully, leaders in the high tech at the time, chemicals and electronics, war was not necessary, and no one would ever aggression attack such a powerful country as Germany.

      I just realized that, purely in terms of land area, Poland suffered a bigger loss than Germany. Huge swathes of former eastern Poland went to the USSR.

    7. One of the problems that we have today is that we have difficulty to grasp what was going on back then in terms of “Cultural Borders”
      Take Kafka for instance, he was Check, but he never spoke it. He wrote in German, he spoke Idisch (German Dialect) at home, and German with his Berlinner (schicksar) girlfriend.
      Things were strange back then…
