Talk:Before Polish Corridor

Since the Bronze Age, the southern Baltic coast, from the Vistula Lagoon west was the ancient homeland of the Germans, its indigenous people. It is difficult to assign ethnicity to ancient cultural groups, and the earliest such can be done with complete confidence is between 1200 and 900 BC. At the time the region was under the Nordic-North German Bronze Culture. - nationalistic fantasies of 19th century German historians. It is not supported even by modern German historians.

Germans remained the sole inhabitants of the southern Baltic coast until the seventh and eight centuries AD - the Slavic tribes crossed Elbe already in 6/7th century. At that time southern coast of Baltic was inhabited by Slavs.

By 982 AD, Germans were once again the sole owners of all the lands west of the Oder River, and they began to settle the lands east of it - Germans conquered Polabian Slavs in the second half of 12th century.

By 1181 AD, the Germans were at last successful in recovering all their ancient ancestral homeland along the southern Baltic east to the Vistula River which was the border separating them from the Old Prussian people. - in 1181 the Slavic Pomerania (Stettin) became barely a fief of Emperor. Nothing more.

One section was governed by a Duke of the (German) Holy Roman Empire, but remained outside the Empire and responsible to the Polish monarch. This section of the coast lay just to the west of the Vistula and was called Pomerelia. - What?

still ruled by Germans who were members of the Holy Roman Empire - I will not comment it.

I also removed romantic German mithology which has nothing to do with facts. I HAVE NOT included Polish mitology instead, which is as stupid as German is.

Yeti, why is there a page called "Before Polish Corridor" at all? john 22:57, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I have got no idea. This fragment is extremally stupid, as link to Pomerania would be sufficient. But I do not want to remove it on myself, as I already re-edited it heavily. It is why I moved it to separate article .Yeti 23:04, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Ah, so it used to be at Polish Corridor? Would it be okay if I change it to a redirect? - the changes you've made will still be there, in the history, if we want to revive it. john 23:09, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)
