Poland is preparing a report on losses in World War II and intends to demand reparations from Germany
The Polish government is due to submit a report next week on the devastation wrought on the country by the German occupation during World War II.
This was reported by the parliamentary administration in Warsaw, writes dpa.
The expert report is due to be presented at the Warsaw Royal Castle on September 1, the day of the 1939 German invasion. It is also considered the start of a war that officially claimed at least 55 million lives, not officially up to 80 million.
It is estimated that up to 6 million people died as a result of the war in Poland itself.
The ruling national conservative party PiS has repeatedly indicated that the report is under review. It aims to support reparations demands from Germany.
A poll last year found that 64% of those polled were in favor of demanding reparations from Germany for damage to Poland.
The German government opposes all demands for further reparations, insisting that the 1990 Two Plus Four Agreement, also known as the German Final Settlement Treaty, put an end to the issue.
This treaty, negotiated by the former West Germany and the former East Germany, as well as Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States, paved the way for German reunification and confirmed Germany's borders.
