Historically speaking why the FUCK do poles hate germans so much?
>Outside of football chants about two world wars and one world cup british people are fine with germans
>French people like germans and never mention the franco prussian war
>russians see germans as honorable enemies
>Poles despise germans, demand constant reperations,cry about german war crimes to this day and are responsible for 99% of anti-german threads on /his/
Wtf is wrong with them?

>Country invades you for bullshit reasons, gives half of your country to the fucking Soviets, and spends a few years raping your economy while building up to their plans to wipe out your entire people.
Gee OP, why wouldn't the Poles love the people who did that?

The polish right has decided to make germany the bogeyman for everything actually or perceivedly bad in poland.
But poland also suffered disproportionally from german agression, and never even got their comeuppance except through the hands of hated russia. So they also suffer an inferiority complex that makes antigermanism fall on fertile ground.

The answer is that a very major component of Polish historical identity and historical education is presenting itself as an eternal victim, a martyr-state that was screwed over again and again and hated by everyone around throughout most of history, but still managed to pull through, return from the dead and survive despite the odds due to its unbreakable spirit and resolve.
How accurate or not this picture is is completely irrelevant, what matters is that if you're a kid in a Polish school, this is the view of Polish history that's most likely to be sold to you. It's not even a modern thing, this narrative has been present in Polish culture since at least first half of XIX century.
And since historically Germans and Russians were two main nations responsible for events that created this mentality (in case of Germans it was primarily: wars in middle ages, long lasting wars and territorial squabbles with ethnically German Teutonic Order, partitions of Poland, anti-Polish policies and persecution of Polish culture during the partitions, invasion and brutal occupation during WW2 including death camps and other forms of strong persecution) , this produces a resentment towards them that's still very much present today.
The attitude towards Germans was actually beginning to visibly improve in the last decade, but then far right retards and useful idtiots on russian payroll started fanning the hatred towards them again to turn Poland away from the West

Correct. Poles are non-Europeans without history.
