Unfortunately very few people know the truth about UPA.

After WWII the Soviets wanted all Slavs to be “brothers”, so it was forbidden to write or speak what some Slavs did…

No they were not. Germany was a nazi state and many people were nazis but not all of them. Perhaps it's a good idea to tell him about Stauffenberg, Rommel and the White Rose. regards Of course there were Germans who knew what Hitler’s hatred really means and where it could end… But “Staufenbergs” w...

There are no words to describe Polish effort in WWII, there are even no comparisons to some “powers” (France) – without Poles and Poland Germany would won the war and Adolf Hitler becomes the master of the World.
