Change of nationality - a good idea?

I was watching a documentary on the History Channel (I think) about two Polish (maybe Hungarian?) Jews who managed to escape from Auschwitz into Slovakia(?) in order to warn of what was happening to the Jews (during 1944) - apparently the Nazis were exterminating 12000 a day when they left. It was very sad and, with the benefit of hindsight, an astounding course of non-action not taken by the Jewish High Council.

I apologize if I recounted any of the facts incorrectly, as I keep saying my memory is crap.

[EDIT]
Escape from Auschwitz: told for first time in English ...Escape from Auschwitz: told for first time in English. Alfred Wetzler's daring flight from Nazi death camp helped to save more than 120000 Hungarian Jews ...

Anyway, it was after pondering 'the horrors' that my mind turned to much happier topics and I have decided it might be a very good idea to change my nationality to Polish. All I have to do then is stand up and wait for scantily clad naughty women to come and dance round me. I suspect nothing improves ones demeanour than a good rubbing with some girl bits?

I'm officially half American and half English, born in Portugal. So I had the choice of 3 nationalities when I was brought to the world. When I was 16 I had to choose between Portuguese and American, the reason being that I would have to do Portuguese national service and by doing so would loose the American nationality. In the end I chose the American and kept the British. Both passports are very useful.
To complicate it further as my family have been away from the UK for more than 3 generations my sprogs can not be British or even American. They will be Hungarian as that is my wifes nationality. If born in Portugal they will not be automatically be entitled to the nationality. As I live on the border with Spain where the closest hospital is there and better there is a real chance that - god willing if we kids - they will be born there. My nephews are Portuguese and Australian.

Well I am a real 'Heinz 57' but married to a pure bred Magyar with pure Hungarian blood. I admit I'm lost for words when I«'m asked what nationaility I have.

To answer the question, if you have a British passport keep it if you feel British. Bear in mind that after this morning when I was applying for a passport that it cost € 190 for a darn passport!
