If you peer into the (un-tendentious) history of much of those lands, you might take a slightly different view of them... But perhaps more to the point, Poland lost nearly half of its prewar territory, east of the Curzon line. Poland is territorially smaller today than it was before WWII.

Indeed it received Pomerania and the industrial center Silesia. Russia got East Prussia.

Probably worth more than the EUR 1 trillion fantasy figure that Polish right wingers demand.
