How odd. One would think with an estimated 1.8-1.9 million civilian deaths due to German occupation [1], and the uncounted rapes during the Soviet occupation [2], Poland wouldn't need to resort to hoaxes to paint themselves as victims. On the other hand, this little wikipedia dive is almost the only time I've heard of these 1.8-1.9 million, so perhaps they're not wrong.
