The book explores the complexities faced by the German minority in interwar Poland, highlighting the divisions among Germans from different empires. Post-World War I, national activists favored those from the former German Empire, leading to fragmentation rather than unity. Repressive Polish policies and unequal German state support deepened these divides, while National Socialism intensified conflicts among leaders. Winson Chu's analysis challenges the notion of a homogeneous German identity, illustrating how nationalism could both unite and divide an embattled ethnicity.
