Thank you. That makes things a little clearer for me. Although I think you should have used scare quotes for "liberation from Hitler". My guess is that, in the long run, the outcome of World War II will not be such a big deal for the Poles, since all that happened to them is that one occupier got replaced by another. So the question I posed which you are responding to was not a well formed one.
