[Foundation-l] Stroop report

[effe iets anders]

of course I trust the commons people that they can work out this kind of
stuff, but I assume you considered that if this was during WW2, Polish laws
might not apply? (I am not even by far a legal specialist on international
laws, and to determine which law is when applicable, but it makes me wonder
though)
