What’s also so weird is in Bandera, TX for example, that town was founded by Upper Selesians, and they tell people “we’re polish”, but its like no, you guys are Prussian, but your original settlers spoke german … And taught dual english-german in TX schools right up until 1912 or so. (*4cfb807c*):: Even early 1930s Volga Germans viewed themselves as distinct and older as a state (1780s) than then era 1930s Germany, despite both speaking German, but viewed their heritage as distinct. These histories and ethnic pluralities get complex. Also, the steppe peoples raided/attacked the Volga Germans until they gained military assistance from the Tzars. Volga Germans weren’t even that unified, each “village” was a distinct kind of agrarian city-state and they rarely communicated.
