So much so that it set a little bell off in the recesses of my mind. What caught my attention was the 26% listed for Poland. I am not sure of this, and perhaps you can correct me if I am wrong. However, I seem to remember that prior to WWII German territory extended into what is now Poland. As I remember, Poland was given German lands when the USSR grabbed the eastern part of Poland. In effect, much of Poland was shifted west. If this is true, perhaps the Polish people are afraid a new Germany will try and reclaim its historical lands. Do you suppose this is what the German chancellor was speaking about?
