2. USSR only helped Nazis because French and Brits refused

alliance to stop Hitler in the 1930s.
3. Reuter's historical revisionism
WWM ,   Jerusalem   (08.19.19)
Ceremony on September 1st, is not glorifying the war! It should remind us how brutally the peace n Europe had been destroyed by Nazi Germany. It has nothing to do with today politics or so-called "nationalism". The opposition instead want to forget what happened on September, 1 1939 and sing and dance and make a circus from this so sad and tragic anniversary.
4. Pure nonsense
Tomek ,   Lublin   (08.22.19)
"..has fallen into disrepair due to the ruling party's policy of historical revisionism" - the Westerplatte monument has fallen into disrepair due to the local authority's desire not to offend the Germans. It anybody pushes historical revisionism, it is the Gdańsk ruling class which is in opposition to the central government. Their narrative is that WW2 was a result of "a bad word" of Poles aginst Germans. This pro-German propaganda in Gdansk is very worrying, to put im mildly. And all these useful idiots, as well as their German backers, should be reminded that Gdansk is a Polish city. In addition, WIeluń was not a site of any batlle. It was a small town with no military significance that was used by the Luftwaffe for target practice.
