Found another comment posted by a German reader on a news site which is worth considering.
His take was that there is still an embedded cold war psyche in many people who experienced the cold war
and that is that had anything kicked off - even without nuclear weapons involved, Germany would have been demolished
as East and West were the front line. Living through that for a length of time is going to stick.
Poland is now in the same position and has decided to do what they deem to be right.
