Erika Steinbach, a member of the ruling party CDU (coalition with SPD), spokesperson for human rights and humantarian help was shown in SS and Whermacht Uniform by Polish media. The Polish forgein Minister also said that Steinbach came and left with Hitler.
Reason for the late campaign against the German Politician was the planning of a monument for banished people from former east- Prussia. Although Steinbach did resign, Polish conservatives said that this wouldn't suffice.
Personal opnioin: I'm really really pi**** about this one! Worst thing is that Germany didn't stand up towards Poland. Whatever one might say about Steinbach, she IS a member of a democratic (ruling) party in Germany. If one would say something like the Polish media is presenting at the moment in Germany one would be convicted- and for good reasons. Germany is of all the countries the one who has cleaned its closet and made the best effort to deal with the past- and that is how one is repaid? So many countries have dead bodies in their backyards- refusing to deal with them. Germany is one of the greatest powers now in Europe and Poland should consider its position here. Worst thing is that no German Politician tried to really defend Steinbach- whatever the quarrels there- this campaign against Steinbach is an open and totally impious attack on a German Politician and that- in our world now- mustn't be allowed. I'm very upset by this, all in all it was a German matter- and the Monument was meant to be a symbol for closure, unity AND conciliation. I'm very very disappointed in the Polish media/ politic and people. Excus my english- this Topic is just so burning in my head right now...
