Hi all,
Ron you wrote:
"By the way, let's be accurate and fair: those regions of what is now
Eastern
Germany and Northern Poland used to be inhabited by other people before the
arrival of the Slavs from the Balkans."
Ron what made you insert the word "fair" here?
Cheers, Mike Wintzer

It's a disclaimer to remind people (especially those who would see "German"
parts of the east returned to Germany and those who would see the "remaining
Slavonic" parts of Germany given to Poland)  that there has always been
migration and mixing of peoples, that no area should be seen as the
inherent, exclusive territory of one "race," that at one point or another
all people were newcomers.  Furthermore, I had in mind the possibility that
the arriving Slavs mixed with the remaining East Germanic people, besides
the fact that West Germanic people later mixed with them.

I hope I explained myself to you sufficiently.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
