Not Only Jews: Poles Targeted Biologically By the Germans

Jews would have us believe that only they were targeted solely for who they were. Not so. Poles were too. Let us elaborate.

POLES UNLIKE JEWS? TOO MANY POLES TO EXTERMINATE LIKE THE JEWS

Koehl writes, “The Polish people, too numerous to destroy, too necessary to starve, began their underground resistance in earnest in 1941.” (p. 161. Emphasis added). Yet the Germans murdered more Poles than commonly admitted. See:

POLES TARGETED BIOLOGICALLY: FORCED DELAY OF MARRIAGE

German occupation policies did not just attack the Polish nation and culture. They also attacked Poles directly as a people. These techniques of passive genocide consisted of various means of reducing the Polish population as a whole.  Koehl gives one example, “…the ‘biological campaign’ in the war of nationalities…Greiser issued the first marriage control order of its kind in the spring of 1941 specifying the legal marriage age of Poles in his Gau: 22 for women, 25 for men.” (p. 145). “In January 1944 the Interior Ministry had finally extended Greiser’s principal of setting a minimal marriage age for Poles to the other annexed territories.  They raised Greiser’s figures from 25 for men to 28 and from 22 for women to 25.” (p. 204).

POLES TARGETED BIOLOGICALLY: FORCED ABORTION OF POLES

Koehl elaborates on some of the German tactics for preventing more Poles from being born, “The other more clearly biological measures of the last years were: (1) severe penalties for the illegitimacy which resulted among the Poles forbidden to marry; (2) an expedited abortion policy for all Poles at home and in the Old Reich; (3) the forbidding of marriage between Poles of the annexed territories…and Poles of the General Government… include excessive use of executions as punishments and the deliberate cutting of Polish rations, but (1) the Germans were reluctant to list these measures as being for this purpose even in secret documents.” (p. 199).

Among forced laborers, “Easy abortions were provided for non-German workers where no German partner could be proved.” (p. 209). Furthermore, “Where abortions were considered too dangerous (after the fifth month) the child was permitted to be born, then taken from the mother and put into an alien children’s home, where nearly all the children perished.” (p. 203).

It is ironic that Polish leftists today push for abortion when it will clearly reduce the Polish population just as the Germans used to do.

GERMAN “POLES STOLE PROPERTY” LIKE THAT OF THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY TODAY

Koehl writes, “A common German attitude in 1940-1941 was that much of the Polish property was ‘stolen’ from Germans after 1918. Many fervid Nazis and SS men regarded as perfectly natural according to Darwinian principles to ‘confiscate’ all non-German property in Poland.” (p. 116).

Ironically, today it is the Jews and their Holocaust Industry that falsely accuses Poles of stealing property–Jewish property.
