As part of this event, an exhibition dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the Air Force is presented. "The organization of these celebrations in Poland is not accidental, but an expression of appreciation for Poland's key role on NATO's eastern flank," it was emphasized.
According to diplomats, the presence of German forces also highlights "deep bilateral partnership, common security architecture and common tasks within NATO." He added that Germany stands on Poland's side.
Air Policing, Patriots and "Shield East"
It was also pointed out that Poland and Germany constantly cooperate militarily.

Berlin also made available contingents of Patriot systems to protect Polish airspace. The embassy noted that German engineers would also support the construction of the "East Shield".
"The German Embassy clearly emphasizes that the current presence is only of a ceremonial and coordination nature as part of the above-mentioned celebrations. Any disinformation suggesting German involvement in Poland's internal affairs or insinuating the use of allies for one's own purposes will be firmly rejected," it wrote.
Diplomats pointed out that Poland and Germany remain the closest partners at a time when solidarity and transparency between allies is more important than ever.
"Yesterday I met German soldiers in uniforms near the Polish Sejm"
For several days now, some Internet users, including politicians, have been publishing materials in an alarming tone relating to the presence of the German army in Poland. One of such people is Dariusz Matecki. The MP published a video showing his conversation with German soldiers met "in front of the Sejm". However, it is worth emphasizing that the Sejm is located 450 meters from the German embassy.
In the recording, Matecki states that people who know that the Germans murdered 6 million Poles must be "disgusted" by the sight of a German uniform. We also hear him asking German soldiers what they are doing in Warsaw. The soldier replied that they were in Poland because of the exhibition - it was an exhibition on the occasion of the anniversary of the establishment of the Air Force. Matecki, without the participation of the military, asked when the Germans would return the cultural works they had looted from Poland and when they would pay reparations - since they were coming here for the exhibition.
I believe that until Germany comes to terms with its past and pays for its crimes, it cannot call itself a civilized nation. And they certainly weren't, aren't and - until they come to terms with the past - they won't be friends of Poland, he declared. He also stated that he was receiving recordings showing Bundeswehr vehicles from all over the country.
"What is happening here?" - MP Marek Jakubiak also asked, commenting on Wednesday's accident of three German army trucks and pointing out that "even in Warsaw you can already see uniformed German soldiers." "I am asking for information about the movements of German troops on Polish territory, you have such an obligation, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and your threats have nothing to do with it," the MP wrote.
Later, the Military Police issued a statement regarding the accident on the A4. However, it did not calm down the MP, who demands an explanation as to why the Military Police did not escort the Germans.
