... then there are all the legal questions. Who owns what, jewish claims, and the BIG BEAR... Russia! Anything from Russia, Putin will insist on having returned at the risk of military action! While poor Poland was decimated by the Nazis and Soviets at the beginning of war and had to suffer under the Iron Curtain for many years and will want restitution to be tied to any returned items - the Amber Room?

So maybe it would be better to wait until Putin leaves before finding out what is down there. There are still some secrets from WWII that can't be told or even asked...

I sat in to round table discussions at the 60th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising with Polish & US WWII vets (my dad flew a mission to drop them supplies on 18 Sep 44) and the Poles were NOT happy that they were not free after the war, but still occupied by the USSR. So there are still bitter relations with Russia.
