1 September 1939, the German Army invaded Poland to begin WW2, the bloodiest and most costly war in terms of human life. The country that suffered the most, in proportion to its population, was Poland. #WW2 #History #HistoryMatters

It is absolutely amazing how many Americans between the ages of 12 and 50, who have no idea about the information that is in this post by Paul. And some, no nothing about WW I nor WW II nor Korea. And, they're taking the Board of Education apart. Another, smart move by your government👽

Didn't Canadians fight in WW2? The contribution I believe, was substantial.

Yes, Canada should be on this list if the US is.

These infographics are always made by imperialists who dont want to recognize the contributions of smaller emergent world powers, which would counter the rhetorical exercise of the infographic.

FTR Canada lost 0.38% of their prewar population in WWII, and the US lost 0.32%

Until just now, I was unaware that the Russian half of the invasion started on a different day. Russia invaded Poland 16 days later, on 17 Sept. Also, a question: do you know if those numbers inclusive of citizens killed in the Holocaust?

They were complicit in the nazi invasion - as the Ribentroph pact aligning Germany and the USSR was signed on the 30th of July. Hitler's forces entered Poland Sept 1st.

You’d think Poland would learn from that, yet Nazis are still in government

Its insane we have republicans who are now saying we took the wrong side in that war. Thank god FDR was president! If it had been a republican there is a good chance they would have joined Nazis. Imagine that. "Where are my Generals like Hitler had" Donald

The CIA helped over 30k nazis escape ape to South America after the war then supported fascism down there with operation Condor around Reagan years. Its pretty crazy how close republicans were/are with fascists

I think he was goung to run for president too. Have you listened to Rachel Maddows podcast about the congress members who planned a fascist coup? I mean I'm pretty aware of fascist crap in US history and never heard about this. The case was dropped on all those traitors of course.

Because shows the overall effect it has on their society. Obviously a nation with 300 million people losing a million would recover faster and handle loss better than a nation of 4 million losing a million people. Decimation means losing 10%. Not a new concept.

And then when the war was over and the world divided up by the victors, Poland doesn’t even get a seat at the table and is surrenders to the Soviet Union to become a communist shit hole. Thankfully they survived that too and are now a better place to live than Russia, the UK, France or the U.S.

Israel has been ramming the notion that 'Jews suffered the most' down our throats since the end of the war.

Guess what? A majority of that 17.1% of Poles were Jews. Nobody is ramming anything down your throat; that’s just a historical fact. A good proportion of the USSR, Hungary & Romania totals were also Jews.

Really? The holocaust has been rammed down our throats in school for as long as I can remember. Now, Israel has created a new holocaust for Palestinians and other Arab populations. But you can bet we won't be studying about the current holocaust in school because we are active participants!!
