We are looking for a three country train pass that INCLUDES Poland for a number of days. Has anyone had any SPECIFIC experience with this that could offer some insight? We would like to have a Germany, Poland, and Czech Pass.

When I did something like this about 18 years ago, a train pass for this would make no sense. The reason is that the German rail system is a lot more expensive per km than in Poland. So you would be better off buying point-to-point tickets for the various countries. Things may have changed since then, but I think it is still true that Germany is richer than the others, so it's hard to share things equally. If the Polish train ticket seller doesn't speak English, just have the start and end city names written down, along with the date and time you would like to depart, and they can figure it out from there.
Maybe search on the German train web site for some likely itineraries and see what they show. Good luck.

Hi, I would not recommend adding Poland to a Pass. It isn't worth it. The times I was in Poland, 2001, 2003. 2005, buying point to point tickets was cheap enough. If you're doing a long ride, such as Krakow-Frankfurt or Berlin, Munich-Warsaw via Berlin, then get a ticket covering the Polish portion of the ride. I would get a Austria-Germany Pass (the more days the better) and then get point to point tickets covering the CZ and Polish portions. Which cities are you going to in Poland besides Warsaw? Krakow, Gdansk (Danzig), Wroclaw (Breslau), Poznan (Posen)?
