Poland Betrayed in WW2 [243]
"the allies sold Poland in 1939"
It was more towards the end of the war that Poland was taken over by Stalin. Yes, it would have been nice if Britian showed up in 39 like they said they would but this was decided before Poland was invaded. Maybe just there declairing of war on Germany did something. It was after Italy 1944, that Poland could have been restored. This is interesting in Churchill's notes (see above) sorry it took up so much room.
because you are nothing to the proud Polish people that I am privileged to know.
I just felt I had to say something to this remark. Being in Poland does not make you more Polish. It does not make the ones exiled, less Polish. We could say we lost a country and paid the highest price. Why divide your blood the way Russia was able to do. If I were in Poland I would want to know about the 40% that died or were exiled. After the takeover it was a death sentence to return to Poland if you served in the military, enimies of the state, Communist Poland. Are you aware the exiles were mostly military and their family that fought for Poland?
