Germany Asks Poland For Forgiveness 80 Years After WWII
Invited Heads of State and officials attend a military ceremony as part of the commemorations marking 80 years since the outbreak of World War II on September 1, 2019 at Pilsudski Square in Warsaw, Poland. Janek SKARZYNSKI / AFPGerman President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Sunday asked Poland’s forgiveness for history’s bloodiest conflict during a ceremony in the Polish city of Wielun, where the first World War II bombs fell 80 years ago.
The line appeared to be a clear reference to the German far-right, whose co-leader Alexander Gauland once called the 12-year Third Reich a “speck of bird poop” on an otherwise glorious German past.“We want to, and we will, remember. And we will bear the responsibility that our history imposes upon us.”
The carpet-bombing came one week after Germany and the Soviet Union secretly agreed to carve up Eastern Europe between them by signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Hitler’s attacks on Poland led Britain and France to declare war on Nazi Germany. On September 17, the Soviet Union in turn invaded Poland.
