Wondering what the Burschenschaft is?

English

(by whom?)


 * By whom what? Burschenschafter

You keep adding the 'by whom? thing to the Erika Steinbach article, so I thought you like it. Don't you?
 * It wasn't me who added it in the first place. I'm restoring Irridenta's edits. But I agree that it is a legitimate question which none of you Polish guys actually have answered yet. Burschenschafter
 * By Polish Politicians, for instance. Note that this question belongs to the discussion, not to the main body of the article - and that's where my sarcasm comes from. Too bad you don't use the discussions lists too often, you'd know. Halibutt 10:39, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree that it belongs to the discussion page. And if the claim is not substantiated, that her "suitability to head the Federation of Expellees, has been questioned", it will be removed. Burschenschafter


 * But it was sustained in a variety of ways. Just read the discussion. Even one of the German contributors quoted Steinbach replying to such accusations by saying that one doesn't have to be a whale... and so on. If she replied to such accusations then such accusations must've existed. Halibutt 16:59, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

logic, consistency etc.
Oh, are you saying that Poles (=Polish speakers which considered themselves to be Poles) born inside Germany, Austria or Russia before the Polish state was created after WWI were not Poles at all, but Germans, Austrians and Russians? Burschenschafter

And the same applies to Czechs, sorry, I mean Austrians? Burschenschafter

There is a big difference between German families immigrating out of Germany, for generations living outside of Germany and Polish people, whose country has been invaded and partitioned, I mean robbed and stolen.Space Cadet 23:07, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I do not see the difference. A country called Germany didn't exist before 1871, so it wasn't "outside of Germany" at all. Burschenschafter
