The Bromberg Massacres

If you look up, "Bromberg", you are bound to find a page dedicated to the atrocities which took place in Poland during and before World War 2. In the pages, you'll most likely find something along the lines of an explanation stating the Bromberg Massacres were created by and executed by the German Army, and that the claim that up to 58,000 Ethnic German minorities were killed is just a hoax and was made for the purposes of propaganda that would fuel the Third Reich. The fact that these deaths and this massacre which is considered one of the worst atrocities that actually occurred during World War 2, are hidden from the history books or dismissed as "hoaxes" is a disgrace to the thousands of people that died.

To fully understand the atrocities which not only took place in Bromberg but all around Poland, you must look at the actual facts, instead of what may have been shoved down your throats as a child. Saying, "may have", because there is a massive chance that these atrocities and the most prominent one, Bromberg, have not even become a topic at any level of education. Now, to move on to the most important facts regarding the atrocities which took place against the Ethnic Germans in Poland;

1. The massacre which took place in Bromberg is known as, "Bloody Sunday". 2. Any Poles who took place or collaborated with the slaughter were executed upon the arrival of the German Army. 3. Weeks before the outbreak of war, the Polish Government created and distributed propaganda which encouraged the harassment of German civilians. 4. The worst slaughters against the Ethnic Germans took place between August 31 and September 6, with the atrocities at Bromberg taking place on September 3. 5. The slaughters ended on September 18, when the German Army arrived at Lowitsch 6. Before needing to use war to protect Ethnic Germans in Poland, Hitler attempted to peacefully resolve the issue with the Polish numerous times. The Polish did not take his negotiations seriously, due to the fact they were protected by Britan and Frace. 7. The Polish, knowing Danzig was a German city, attempted to cut it off from the Reich. 8. Polish border guards would shoot at fleeing Germans. 9. Before the war broke out, there we around 80,000 Germans in refugee camps in Danzig and the German Reich. 10. The war began when Polish soldiers shot at German soldiers on the other side of the border.

To this day, many still believe Poles were the victims of 1939 and were attacked without reason. To this day, even the German government has not acknowledged the plight of their own people! Keep in mind that 58,000 was the amount of Ethnic Germans that were killed at Bromberg, not all around Poland. I believe the only reason these atrocities are not mentioned is due the phrase, "nothing bad can happen to the bad guys". Even then, Hitler did the right thing in this case. Many say that Germany gave Poland a referendum to cede Danzig or to be invaded, none talk about how Poland gave Germany a referendum to see his people slaughtered, or start a war.
