Because the post office was a communication center ?
Very curious

Sun Yat-sen, the first president and founding father of the Republic of China, was a philanderer. When he was an exile in Japan, he had many Japanese mistresses and had had a daughter in 1906. Fumiko Miyagawa. She had a son in 1928 and passed away in 1990. Son Toichi Miyagawa 88. He is fine.

Nope , because it was Polish.

 

[Shinpachi]

Agreed. Thanks Wojtek.

 

[Wurger]

Just Nazi Germen attcked everything what was Polish. All the Post Office defenders were killed after their surrender.

 

[Shinpachi]

I have been vaguely thinking that Poland to Germany is like Korea to Japan.
Looks different. Thanks Wojtek. It seems that I must study history well again.

"... Just Nazi Germen attacked everything what was Polish"
Surely the Soviets earned that distinction as well, W.

 

[Wurger]

The main problem is that a half of Poland has more in common with the Germany than with the Russia.

Kim Il-sung circa 1953.

Let's see the map in his back.
Communists China shows its extended territory as if a matter of course.
Inner Mongolia, Manchuria, Tibet and Uyghur were originally not China.
Remarkable turning point of power-balance in the Far East.
