REPORT: Poland lost 6 trillion 220 billion 609 million PLN in World War II.

  • The report on the losses suffered by Poland as a result of German aggression and occupation during World War II 1939-1945 was prepared because World War II ended in great injustice. It was never properly accounted for.
  •  Poland has decided to put the issue on the international stage. Poland should be compensated for the damage done by the Germans in 1939-1945. The report will make it possible to ask Germany to take up the subject of reparations.
  • Many countries have received reparations from Germany. Poland - did not.
  • Germany has never truly accounted for the crimes it committed against the Polish Nation between 1939 and 1945.
  • Nazi Germany's victims number in the millions, Millions of Polish families lost the achievements of their entire lives. Hundreds of cities were destroyed, thousands of villages were burned, industrial plants, schools, architectural monuments, infrastructure, libraries were destroyed, and art collections were looted or destroyed.
  • World War II has its consequences to this day. The crimes have not been accounted for. The perpetrators of the machinery of destruction and extermination have largely gone unpunished.
  • Other countries have received funds in the past as reparations for World War II. German propaganda, which is carried out and promoted by some political parties and the media in Poland, claims that Poland is not entitled to reparations, even though, for example, it is not. Greece or Israel received compensation many years ago:
    • In 1960, Germany paid 115 million German marks in reparations to Greece. 
    • Compensation was received by Israel - for the Holocaust and the losses raised during World War II. Under a 1952 agreement, the Federal Republic of Germany handed over 3 trillion German marks in the form of supplies that continued for another 14 years. 450 million marks in turn was given to the World Jewish Congress. The government invested these funds
      in the infrastructure and development of the newly formed state of Israel.
  • So far, governments in Germany have avoided the topic of reparations to Poland With the acquiescence of Poland's previous authorities.
  • Poland lost 6 trillion 220 billion 609 million PLN in the war.
  • More than 5 million citizens lost their lives.
  • The war set Poland back 20 years in its development.
  • More than a million families lost their life's possessions. Material losses amounted to 797 billion 398 million PLN.
