A lot has changed in 70 years.......Germany sending tanks to Poland used to mean something quite different than the subject of this article......however from a more cynical POV by sending these tanks to Poland they are strengthening and deepening their buffer with Russia. It wasn't that long ago that a heathy % of the population expected a NATO / WP conflict at any time and it thankfully did not occur. ( Pink Floyds " The Wall"......" mother do you think they'll drop the bomb ? " and "Two suns in the sunset " from "The Final Cut" is all about the fears and paranoia of the Cold War and that was written" only" 32 years ago.) Steel Panthers 2 was originally , primarily designed to "what if" all of that so from that POV Germany is expanding it's border defenses using Polish crews in German tanks and the irony is really thick.
