When villains get lost in layout

Any of our readers who happen to be in Poland this week and who have a habit of watching the evening news might have seen us hauled over the proverbial coals on Wednesday night, where you could have seen us all but accused of having Nazi sympathies.

The problem arose from this article published in the latest issue of Poznan In Your Pocket, which appeared under the headline Local Heroes instead of Local Heroes & Villains.

Here is the (offending) article:

Local Heroes & Villains

Now, call us biased, but we think that even if the headline was Local Heroes there is no suggestion of us liking Nazis.

No, what happened was a mistake. An error. When taking a title from one place and transferring it to another, part was lost. It happens. That really ought to be the end of it.

Besides, do we really need to point to the other features we have written about Poznan over the years?

For those who fell
The Great Escape
World War II Poznan

Or what about our extensive report on the role of Poles in cracking the Enigma code?

We leave readers to make up their own minds as to whether we have Nazi sympathies or not.
