> As someone who has lived in both countries its such a hilarious anxiety.

What's hilarious about it? It seems pretty well-rooted given the actual history of the two areas.

- 1939: Germany invaded in 1939, officially starting World War II.

- 1941: Germany occupied the rest of Poland after attacking the Soviet Union, which had previously occupied Eastern Poland.

- Teutonic Order/Prussia: Throughout the 13th–16th centuries, the Teutonic Order fought numerous wars against Poland.

- Medieval Period: Records show invasions by Margrave Gero (963), Margrave Odo I (972), Emperor Otto II (979), and multiple campaigns by King Heinrich II between 1003 and 1017.
