What mask?you drop the mask
Actually most Kashubians did and do identify strongly with Poles, and one of their main political thinkers Hieronim Derdowski wrote "There is no Cassubia without Poland, and no Poland without Cassubia" (Nie ma Kaszeb bez Polski a bez Kaszeb Polski")Funnily neither wendisch tribes nor the Kaschubians were anything being 'Poles'...o
Actually I wouldn't call whole centuries "short"nd short periodes of indirect control from some polish noblemen does not create any "polish cities"...as w
Of course, no Ostrow Tumski in Wroclaw, no Piast Mauzoleum in Legnica, until 1945, no polish influence in their development at all
You have very limited knowledge So the Polish House in Wroclaw which German mob burned down after WW1 was made by ghosts?.nor a "polish Population"
Maybe I dig out Otto I. to claim that the northern half of Italy is german 
You will find many such statements in Kashub writings. Generally they were very supportive of Poles and Poland.The words of an emmigrant could generalize the fate of the Kaschubians towards the polonization?
It's Silesia in English. And the Polish population remained in contact with its motherland. Btw are you claiming Opole had no connection to Poland for 600 years?Schlesien had nothing to do with Poland for just about 600 Years
How can one occupy his own land? Or are you claiming Poles dropped into Silesia on parachutes?I remember it were polish insurgents that try to occupy Schlesien after WW1
Funnily the "polish population" in Schlesen in 20st century consisted mostly of immegrants that came into those territories with the industrial revolution, just seeking work they found in Germany (similar to the Ruhrgebiet, but none of these Poles ever called the Ruhrpott 'urpolnisch'And the Polish population remained in contact with its motherland
). No mystery that troops& weapons from the 2nd republic infiltrated the borders, together with diversants, saboteurs and progandists...Or are you claiming Poles dropped into Silesia on parachutes?

Really? Must have been Polish spies that inflitrated Prussian government and gave statitiscs saying hat 61,1% of population in 1829 was Polish in Upper Silesia(official Prussian numbers). Were they emmigrants from the future(1829 is still before industral revolution).Funnily the "polish population" in Schlesen in 20st century consisted mostly of immegrants that came into those territories with the industrial revolution,
Not to mention German maps:No mystery that troops& weapons from the 2nd republic infiltrated the borders, together with diversants, saboteurs and progandists...
61,1% of population in 1829 was Polish in Upper Silesia. They certainly weren't visitors from the future..and the beginning of the industrialisation in in Schlesien were the 1840
