Note

Hugo Weczerka I do not consider to be a reliable source. He is connected with the political organisation in Germany that is very controversial one as this entry shows Hugo Weczerka: 1950 - 50. Gedenkjahr: Gründung des Johann Gottfried Herder-Forschungsrates und des Johann Gottfried Herder-Instituts in Marburg an der Lahn. In: Ostdeutsche Gedenktage 2000, Hrsg. Kulturstiftung der deutschen Vertriebenen Bonn 1999, S. 384-392. The organisations of Vertriebene are a political movement that has claims against Poland, and contains several former Nazis, in fact the first leader of their main party was a Nazi judge himself Hans Kruger. Obviously a person who is a writer for a political movement that has claims against Poland, and haven for many former Nazis(as reported by German press itself-additionally Polish daily Rzeczpospolita reported sales of Waffen SS songs about conquering Poland at their meetings) is not a reliable source of information in regards to history of Poland. The continued funding of such organizations by German state is source of conflict in Polish-German relations.--Molobo (talk) 11:33, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
