Hi, Sorry but I do not know anything about this house, but most probably after WWII it was nationalized, and used as big national farm as many similar estates. Out government still has no idea what to do with it. Give it back, to whom, which way, all or part, sell to new owners? It is very complicated and I'm quite sure that this government won't be able to make decision. -- Witold Kozakiewicz ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 00:05:52 -0800 From: "Lance Mertz" To: Subject: Re: Tough assignment Message-ID: <001901c0c7de$63868000$0401a8c0@Lance> Kids rarely care at that age about history... my 14 year old, when writing paper on something last year brought me up short with "this is not the most important assignment of my life... just give me the short answer"...

Gaston, I am not sure, but I think that Neudeck is now known as Swierklaniec. It is small village close to Zabrze city in western part of Upper Silesia (Before the last war Zabrze belonged to Germany and was known as Hindenburg). I've never been to Swierklaniec, but I know that there is a beautiful estate complex surrounded by charming park there. AFAIK entire estate has been protected by Polish museum preservation law for years and is still owned by the national treasury.

D.VIII RE: Talk about fiddly Message-ID: <011801c0c800$336e5d80$4640a8c0@ssp.salud.rosario.gov.ar> Talking about wood... Yesterday I was visiting a friend -a flying scale modeler- to see a videotape on how his 1/8 scale Fokker D.VII crashed to smithereens last weekend. Sad. But watching the face of my friend as he played the tape again and again was kind of fun. ;-) Fortunately, shortly after the D.VII demise he started a new project: a 1/5,8 (the scale dictated by the available wheels) Fokker E.V and I gave him yesterday a lot of pictures taken by our own Lee Mensinger. He's very impressed by the quality and the detail shots aimed for modellers that asked me to post this message with a big "THANKS" to Lee, and promised to take pictures of his model during the build. He is doing the model as faithful as possible to the real plane, using enlarged plans from Windsock and such. He haven't decide yet the covering of the wing or the material of the cowling. It's a big model, so I guess that he'll do it good to last (hopefully he won't crash it as soon as finished) The fuselage structure is done with pine dowels representing the tubes, and he'll be using aluminium struts for the undercarriage. More news on his project soon!

But just for the sake of the argument I don't think the communists had a monopoly on human misery and loss. The British and German (capitalists) did a very good job of wiping out a whole generation of middle-class youth. During WW1 the communists probably saved a lot of young russian peasants from the WW1 misery. They got Russia out of the war, whether that was a good thing or a bad thing can be discussed, but it probably saved a lot of russian lives. Also when you talk about the evil of communism, you should have a thought about what Russia was like before the revolution, not a lot better, at least not for ordinary peasants, the tsarist regime was pretty awful too. I've already promised not to make any more mix-ups and oversimplifications today so I'd better stop, because believe me this is a complicated subject and 900 pages would hardly start to cover it. /Neil > Stephen D. wrote: > -snip-snip-snip- > an exercise in human misery and loss which could benefit no one but a > > communist." > > ------------------------------ End of WWI Digest 3288 **********************
