And yet the Polish nation wil never surrender and continues to resist the invaders, The Germans are unable to find traitors among the Poles. Secret papers are being published in all important centres and news of the Polish Army, Navy and fighting with the British and Allied armed forces against the common enemy are being read with enthusiasm:
The Nazis are using all means to justify their crimes and do not retrain from. falsifying history. According to their assertions, the whole of western Poland is ancient German territory. This is naturally one of the "big lies" of which Hiyer boasted in "Mein Kampf," destined to dupe ignorant people. The truth is just the contrary: historically, the Prussians are in great part Germanized Slavs.
We do not intend to deal seriously with the stupid German assertion that Cracow was an ancient German town or that Copernicus, the famous Polish astronomer, was a German. It is however worth mentioning that in -its long and glorious history as Poland's old capital: Cracow once witnessed a curious scene, when Albert von Hohenzollern, Duke of East Prussia, arrived there in 1525 and rendered homage, as Poland's vassal, to the Polish King Sigismund, on the Market Square of that town. This is indeed one of very few traces of German contacts with Cracow. And as far as Copernicus is concerned, it. is to be supposed that his famous sion of the Tripartite Pact and the creation of an eternal "new order" on the earth moving around the Axis Powers and the Power of the Rising Sun.
Wazi propaganda discovered that even Polish culture is of German origin. It is highly amusing indeed to hear the Nazis speak of culture. They seem to forget that the Polish University of Cracow was founded as early as 1364. There were no uni. versities yet in Germany, and the only institution of that, kind in Central Europe existed at that time at Prague. The Poles have created their own culture, a very significant one indeed, just as the Germans have created their own, culture which was certainly a great one. Now both are being destroyed by the Nazis.
