thread_title: New attempt to syncronise with main ww2 page

message: The author has ignored massive settlement of Germans into Poland after 1939 (estimated by some at over 1 million with certain number of hundreds of thousands).The author doesn't explain why the same map is used for several different era's-1937, 1945 and WWII ignoring the fact of major population changes in WW2 ? The map doesn't show the exact date and as German population changed in very significant way during XX century in Central Europe it isn't neutral. It isn't clear what the map presents, if  the map presents those Germans born in Poland or those people who spoke German as mother language ? Second option would indicate he counts occupation in his map. The use of colours is very strange since it hardly shows significant populations of Poles in Silesia left after 1921.
*And finally the map conflicts credible scholary data on German population. 
For example-map of Poles before WW2  clearly shows that German settlement isn't as widespread in Poland as the author has shown on the map.
Another example, a list of Polish areas with German minority listed:
http://raven.cc.ku.edu/~eceurope/hist557/lect11_files/11pic2.jpg
In 1921
Pomerania 1921-18 % of population is German
Poznan 1921-16 % of population is German
This numbers obviously don't support the map presented here where the impression is that in those areas Germans made up almost total majority.
And in 1931:
Pomerania 1931-9% % of population is German
Poznan 1931-9 % of population is German
Upper Silesia 1931- 6 % of population is German 
*Another data:
According to p.27 of the Reich Statistical Yearbook for 1941 the population of the territories annexed from Poland was as follows in June 1940:
Province Ostpreussen: 994,092.
Reichsgau Danzig-West-Preussen (not including Danzig): 1,487,452.
Reichsgau Wartheland: 4,538,922.
Prov. Schlesien: 2,603,550.
General Gouvernment: 12,107,000
According to p.6 of "Documents on the Expulsion of the Germans from East-Central Europe" Volume 1, (Bonn, 1954) the following was the German population of these areas when they were annexed from Poland in 1939:
Polish Territories attached to the Provinz of Ostpreussen: 31,000.
Polish Territories of the Reichsgau Danzig-Westpreussen: 210,000.
Polish Territories of the Reichsgau Wartheland: 230,000.
Eastern Upper Silesia: 238,000.
Generalgouvernment: 80,000.

thread_title: I added POV check

message: This article and the Aftermath of World War II article cover essentially the same topic, and often they have the same wording. Why should there be 2 articles? Anything redeeming and different in Aftermath should be moved to here. Civil Engineer III 12:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've suggested the opposite: anything redeeming (not much of that though, because it's nearly all unsourced) in this article should be moved to Aftermath article, of which revision has already commenced as per ongoing discussion there, whereas this article is stagnant and there's been no discussion for a long long time, as you can see.

thread_title:  Merge from [[Aftermath of World War II]] 

message: It says in the introductory paragraph "the creation of Israel", so Israel didn't exist after the World War? That's not what we learn in our Religion class :O I want an answer!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.55.135.219 (talk) 13:30, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
