Arkadiusz, your statement calms me, since it expressed what I
expected to be normal in Poland.

But Tomasz's statements in our discussion about German leaders
draw a completely different picture about polish history lessons -
which confused me. Unfortunately this thread does not completely 
appear in the archives since I did not realize that *@freeciv.org
are "group-reply-lists".

I was asking if Hitler should be listed with the other German
rulers. I believe that - without no comment - this glorifies 
him, for people not that common with German history.

Since Tomasz showed me, that taking him out of the list,
would enforce us to _censore_ *all* dictators, I think
a short historical report about nations and leaders would
be a compromise.

BTW: Something else which confuses me in Tomasz's picture of 
the world is that he sees Hitler as a "normal" dictator...

Ciao,
Mathias
