Excellent post, Mark. It is important to plant our flag based on truth and not make history fit our preferences .

Thank you, Mr. Wauck, for so calmly stating factual history in regards to Gdansk. I didn't know the city's role in the disputes leading to world war, both of them, maybe; but your writing brings to mind that Lech Walesa (sp?) and Solidarity began the political break of the Polish people from Soviet totalitarian rule, successfully. And some random recollections---I think that historian John Lucac thought that the post WWII political re-construction led by U.S.A. should have emphasized that Germany was the defeated enemy which required re-assembly, and not the Soviet Union, partner Ally; because although the communist Soviets had a different governing system than the Allies, they were not the enemy---and shoud not have been targeted for immediate ostracization and punishment by Western nations following the end of the War.
