AH Challenge: Irish Poland

No this thread isn't about Poland as a colony of Ireland, but rather about the Irish attitude to UK, translated into a Polish-German relationship. So the challenge is how can we get a mostly German-speaking Poland (+95%), which see itself as a non-German ("Slavic") country which has been under the yoke of the Germans. Bonus points if we also get "Northen Ireland" and if Poland doesn't include any pre-WWII German territories.

Well, the last bit is easy: Have Breslau/Danzig/East Prussia/Whatever be both part of Germany and the NIreland equivalent. It's the wiping out Polish while not assimilating them[i/] that's the tough bit.

I think it necessary to make Poland part of Germany/HRE and subject to some strong German Duchy, but after that we need to create a religeous difference to create a independent identity, that would make it possible for the local German settlers to assimilate into the Polish identity without giving up the languages, which would mean that it would be religion which decide what ethnic group you belonged to instead of languages.
 
Well, one easy route would be your typical Central Powers victory, as the Germans were planning on fulling assimilating the nominally independent Polish state, much in the manner that the British treated Ireland. Just wait a few decades for them to become independent, and bam, Irish Poland.
