Seems Bidens phone call to Benji worked. Who'd have thought?
He and his family, along with thousands of others, walked for hundreds of kilometers and lived in a few places in northern Germany before finally settling around Cologne. He then emigrated to Canada in 1958.
We were lucky enough to go and see his old home which is now in Kolobrzeg, Poland back in 2009.
Let's hope so. The images I saw here on Saturday morning have left an indelible stain on my soul.

Ah sorry. I just assumed he made the move to Canada straight away!
How far back in history did Germanic people live in those now polish areas? I remember when I studied the 2 wars for A-levels that there were millions of Germanic people living in "Slavic" lands but I never really looked into the history of settlement.

No worries. He was a bit young...around 7 or 8 when the war ended.
Truly devastated, yes.
Thanks Biden.
A few hundred years is my recollection. Those areas changed hands multiple times.
Na feck Biden. He could have done this 2 days ago.
I think it depends on how you define German but Prussia was a Duchy created in 1525: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussia
The Teutonic Knights had been there since the early 1200s.
Just over 5 days late.
Not particularly surprising given that he's literally the only person in the world who can in his own friendly way, tell Netenyahu what to do.
Cheers. I was more wondering about the Germans who resided around the Volga river and Crimea, as Dwaz said though, it was probably a few hundred years.
Sorry for derailing the thread people. Apologies.
It is a really problematic comparison for all sorts of reasons, to put it mildly. I appreciate this is an emotive topic but Nazi comparisons get us nowhere.
North Korea have gas chambers and carry out all sorts of biological and chemical warfare testing against political prisoners. If any state comes close to those techniques of control, domination and dehumanisation they would be it. Not Israel.
Especially so as a fifth of the Israeli population are Arabs who, despite facing all sorts of discrimination, still have many rights that would not be afforded to them in other neighbouring countries.
Europe has lots of history of mixed cultures co-existing, from the Hapsburgs to the wandering Germans you mention. Only war seems to disrupt that, except for European Jews who were persecuted most places. Oddly enough, I seem to recall that Frederick the Great of Prussia welcomed both Jews and Huguenots to his empire to help settle it and promised they'd be free of persecution by the state (odd because after WWII all the bad stuff about Nazi Germany was blamed on Prussian militarism and not Austrian wankers).
I wouldn't worry about derailing, some of the discussion offers an interesting parallel to the displacements in Israel and Palestine.
Another one...
You should be fkn banned for the use of that word alone.
Yep. Awful.
Lads, I know him. He's Pakistani, just as I am.
Self hating one then
Nah, he said it in reference to some remarks Elvis had said previously I think. He's certainly not self hating
Term shouldn’t be used on a public forum, even if it is one’s own description.
They're talking about elvis
Check the above reply. He's saying it in reference to what someone else said. Not himself
I now get to what your post was in reference. I thought you were saying that Elvis is Pakistani.
Definitely shouldn’t be used as a pejorative, also have concerns that it is used at all.
So, Elvis isn’t Pakistani?
I think Rotherham is saying 2mufc is Pakistani.
What’s shocking is that @esmufc07 is using that word and the n word so openly.
Whatever twat used the P@ki word should be banned...same if he said the n word orused a word to be racist towards Jews or Chinese or any ethnicity
So esmufc07 is a racist is what youre saying? Why have the mods not removed him?
Last page 
Nah, @2mufc0 is the Pakistani
Take the sidebar chat about Elvis to PM please. Let's get this thread back on track.
Short battle documentaries (without any bias) on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
I said a few pages back. Israel instigates, Hamas retaliates, Israel goes hardcore, America pays Israel and ceasefire. Rinse and repeat.
