There are sooo many example likes that in Polish history, even of people who abandoned their own nationality because they decided they're "polish" only to fight vs ex-countryment few years later.
What about Poland draws so many people to us? We're shit, why bother.

So you're saying it's stupid people who get drawn to Poland?

some people find it vital to disregard warnings and check things out on their own
very often those people end up in a casket with a Darwin award under their belt

But some of them were successful or powerful people.
And why of all things fucking Poland?
That's the real question. Why not Czechia or, I don't know, Finland?
Is our "we wuz so" strong?

it's because Poland has a long history of getting fucked by its neighbours, this fact evokes some sympathy among the more romantically inclined foreigners who feel the urge to defend the Pure Maiden of Nations
fighting for Poland is essentially whiteknighting taken to extremes

So people like Haller who fought against their own ex-countrymen(Germans) were white knights extraordinaire?

Didn't he almost decide he was Ukranian?
>>67727831
yes indeed
>>67727865
No and he volunteered in 38 again but they told him to chill.
In 39 he got caught by Germans and tortured by them to sign the german nationality list(and decline he's Polish) and he didn't so they tortured him more and he was paralyzed from waist down after that.
Never mind, I was thinking of his brother
