I'm afraid he was, though massive efforts have been undertaken to cover this fact. From the preface of a 1905 rerelease of The Birth of Tragedy written by his sister, she let this little number slip:
>My brother often refers to his Polish descent, and in later years he even instituted research-work with the view if establishing it, which met with partial success. I know nothing definite concerning these investigations, because a large number of valuable documents were unfortunately destroyed after his breakdown in Turin. The family tradition was that a certain Polish nobleman Nicki (pronounced Niëtzky) had obtained the special favour of Augustus the Strong, King of Poland, and had received the rank of Earl from him. When, however, Stanislas Leszeysski the Pole became King, our supposed ancestor became involved in a conspiracy in favour of the Saxons and Protestants. He was sentenced to death; but [...] he was ultimately befriended by a certain Earl of Brühl, who gave him a small post in an obscure little provincial town. (Brühl is a small town in west Germany)
Look at all she reveals there! She reveals that a massive amount of "valuable documents" were destroyed after his breakdown in Turin! I can only imagine the things that were obliterated by third-parties and such that were throw right into the fire. She also reveals his polish ancestry, even giving a clear example, AND revealing that relative is an aristocratic spook faking events related to destroying the ascendacy of the Vatican (sound familiar?), who also faked his own death! Sounds like the Nietzsche family is connected to some pretty sketchy people, which becomes even more clear after Elisabeth is seen hob-nobbing around with Hitler and the top Nazis.

Or maybe it was just a fun family story like how Americans all like to tell themselves they’re 1/8th Cherokee or direct descendants of William the conqueror.

Przepraszam, my name is Pan Fredryk Niëtzky.

I’m a 38 year old German filozof (philosopher for you obcy) of Polish descent. I write books, compose music daily, and spend my days perfecting my art while reading superior Polish Romantic literature (Mickiewicz, Goszczyński, Mochnacki etc.).
I train with my szabla and perfect my Polish cross cutting art every day. This superior weapon is ideal for both horseback and on-foot fighting, allowing for faster and swifter combination of strikes, and combined with Polish technique is vastly superior to any other cold weapon on earth.

I speak Polish fluently, both Greater and Lesser Polish dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Polish history and their Sarmatian code, which I follow 100%.

When I get my Polish visa, I am moving to Warsaw to attend a prestigious university to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a professor at University of Warsaw or a music composer!

I own several żupan and kontusz, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Poland, so I can fit in easier. I give two-finger salute to my elders and seniors and speak Polish as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

Dankę and wish me luck in Poland!

yes, but he was from Saxony which used to be Slavic before the 16th century, so it's just as likely that he doesn't actually have Polish bloody. Nitzsche/Nietzsche isn't an uncommon name in Saxony.

Pretty funny how do none of these self-loathing Germans realize that hating on your country is one of the most German things you can do
