Why were there Polish language Nazi propaganda posters during the Holocaust?

As Polish politicians continue to attack Jewish efforts to receive compensation for quite a lot of property lost during the Holocaust (in which 6 million Jews were murdered, 3 million of them citizens of Rzeczpospolita Polska), I’m left wondering: if non-Jewish Poles were such victims akin to Jews, why was there Polish language propaganda for Nazi Germany? Who was it being marketed to? What was sought to be achieved from it?

Here are some examples:

I don’t speak Polish, but something tells me the stuff in those posters is nasty. I think in discussion about this, both Jews in the diaspora and in Israel need to bring this up; no one has done so.
