Commies helped that Germans develop huge guilt complex and try to lose their identity as fast as possile. Many of German-origin Croats I Knew are timid people with no pride in their heritage and leftist ideas... and they deny their German origins.
Not the case in today Hungary. Germans are usually associated with positive qualities. Or at least it used to be like that until recently when the opinions started to be more mixed because of Germany's policies. I have heard german or part german people here say stuff like "I made it far beause I'm hard working and precise and I owe these attributes to my german ancestry&culture"Quote:

But many of them mixed with Russians even during that short time.

Klaus Johannis(Romania's president) is a Transylvanian Saxon and he looks German imo (rather than Romanian)

Well if Germans didn't behave like animals during WW2 and didn't have such an elitist attitude maybe people would be more proudQuote:

Approximate ethnic structure of that area (present-day Poland and pre-war Poland) in 1930 was:
Poles (mix of regions*) -- 55%
Germans East ------------ 20%
Ukrainians West ---------- 9%
Rusyns Carpathian ------- 3.5%
Belarusians West -------- 2.5%
Belarusians Polesia ------ 2%
Ashkenazi Jews --------- 7.5%
Lithuanians -------------- 0.5%
*As you know, K36 Oracle has several regional Polish references. Instead of using one average for Poles, I used regional averages in proportions similar to population size of each region, to make my estimate more accurate.
There is more I1 in the Balkans than in Poland.Quote:

It depends on time - in Middle Ages they were very pro-german.

Becasue bauers influenced dukes and knights?
I want to make you aware, that majority of
noble terminology comes from German language.
Rycerz, herb, szlachta, lenno, łan, hołd, alodium, aso...
In later times were two schools: one was oriented on Orient
implementing everything from the east and following every fashion
from Bakczysaray and Konstantinopole, and second was orineted on
the West, mostly German and later french modesty.
