??? Blut und Boden???
No need for such comments here.
My father's family fled from Schlesien as well at the end of the war, btw. So I am not talking some exaggerated nationalistic pride here. I just added some biographical detail to a description of these two that in your description of them was a bit misleading in impression. By roots their families are Germans, not Polish, but they have obviously ties to Poland as well. Nothing bad in that.
