Jeder Punkt stellt eine Gräueltat dar, darunter:
– Hinrichtung von Kriegsgefangenen
– Mord an Zivilisten
– Befriedung der Dörfer
Die rauchende Fabrik repräsentiert Todeslager.
Die Deutschen waren dafür verantwortlich, die Bevölkerung Polens um 12 Millionen zu reduzieren (darunter 6 Millionen Tote) und Schäden in Höhe von 1,3 Billionen Dollar zu verursachen.

Posting this to counter, now deleted, repost of a german propaganda post that cries about being humanly expelled after commiting these atrocities, refusing to pay anything back (even today) and demanding „return“ of territories given to Poland from Soviets as a buffer from potential future aggresion from germans.
[Link with a better resolution.](https://raremaps.com/gallery/detail/81365/zbrodnie-hitlerowskie-na-ziemiach-polski-w-latach-1939-45-nazi-crimes-in-poland-in-the-years-1939-1945?_gl=1*on6itq*_up*MQ) It’s in english too.
„Pacification of villages“ is an Orwellian term for mass executions, burning villages, and killing civilians, including women and children, often in response to partisan activity
Reparations? *Crickets*
Germany should have been dissolved post ww2
Could have as well just painted the whole map red. Nazi Germany were basically war criming all of Poland.
And I say that as a german.
Oh wow, another anti-German post. How original.
Interesting how Silesia has such a high concentration as if there was a large polish population there counter to the German territory propaganda.
That’s horrific. It gets worse when you think about how a 2013 New York Times investigation found there to be 42,500 Nazi sites across Europe. Originally historians thought there were only 7000 sites. I studied the Holocaust for years and I’m still not use to it and never will be. My astonishment in the face of the horror only grows with time. Never forget.
Interesting that the map uses post-war borders. A weird choice to depict what happened in Poland during WW2. Then again, it makes perfect sense, as it was released when Poland was under Soviet control, and could not show anything that made the Soviets look bad.
Showing the Polish pre-war borders would have include the eastern parts of Poland that the Soviets had annexed in 1939, and again in 1945. Where the NKVD had commited unspeakable crimes against the Polish people. As a side effect, it also hides the German crimes commited in these parts of Poland, when they came under German occupation in 1941-1944.
‚Zbrodnie hitlerowskie‘ doesn’t translate as ‚German crimes‘ in English, but as ’nazi crimes‘ (lit. ‚Hitler crimes‘).
Sorry to the poles for doing such things throughout history. Love to Polska from Germany
Would be nice if it were legible.
Ahhhh „Knights of europe“ moment
That’s not the map of Poland during the war
