History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Harry,Not directly to Poland,I should have made that clear,my fault.Chamberlain should never have let Hitler take Czechoslovakia.I never said that England didn't do what was within her power.Chamberlain,s appeasement decision was not the best route to go.

Harry,tell me which promises were made and kept.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Harry,then why did England declare war on Germany?

Harry,I don't prefer to sweep facts under the carpet only insults,lol.I never said anything about the ability to keep those promises;were promises made or no?.Don't take it as an indictment don't tell I any ones lie btw.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Ironside,I know promises weren't kept,but to insinuate that this was deliberate is what I can't understand.sometimes people forget that governments are made up of people and people can drop the ball.

4 eigner,I know that sentiment had existed.I'm not sure how feasible this would have been to achieve.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

4 eigner,So why do you think they didn't just do that?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

4 eigner,So you're suggesting that the U.S. rolled straight through in an imperialistic take over?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

4 eigner,I,agree that was the result and they had their sights on Poland,but what was the alternative,if the west hadn't of helped Russia;Europe would of been enslaved by Germany and It would have been far worse for Poland.It really sucks the choices that had to be made.The west didn't sell out Poland..

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Barney,I agree with you 100%,Russia played a huge role in that victory at the cost of a lot of blood.

Hipis,My bad,that one wasn't meant to be patronizing;definitely should have said it differently Sorry,but if you read the prior posts I think you could put together what I meant by that.As for what I said about the war that doesn't undermine what I had said at all.Think about it.That response was to what you said about easy;just attack from the west.I never said that I didn't grasp the war at all and I think you know that.So don't try to say I'm a Polonophobe;Now your being rude.Btw Next time;quote the whole thing.

Hipis,you're not going to respond about your war strategy?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Barney,Growing up in the U.S. and having never been to Europe,let alone Poland.It's easy for me not to grasp these aspects that have shaped their views.

Hipis,easy huh, was Germany not fighting a two front war already?And by this you're saying that we should have left Russia to the dogs.The west had to support Russia or Russia would have fell ,which had damn near happened already with the support.If Germany had gotten Russia Europe would have been done.They let Germany and Russia fight in to the ground already.Do you have any Idea how many Russians died in that war.This is a similar resentment that Russians have about the west.If England or Russia had fallen Europe was done.England was in better shape than Russia at the beginning.It was necessary to bail them out first and the Russian front allowed for this don't forget that Stalin had killed off a ridiculous amount of his military staff.All sides payed dearly in that war..

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Barney,that is absolutely true.I do feel as though it's like they are trying to come to terms with it,almost like adolescence in a sense.I don't mean to suggest that Poland is a new country by any stretch;I just mean politically.

Hipis,Without Stalin all was lost.It was a Pyrrhic Victory for Poland I understand that;but let's be honest;what was the alternative?

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Barney,Yeah I see what you mean.in a way it's like Poland just stepped out of it and is now trying to come to terms with it.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Barney,meaning?

Isthatu2,I don't know how young some of the posters are;when I was a kid it was still in living memory and nobody suggested the type of things that are being said here..

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Isthatu2,Don't people understand the war machine that Hitler had behind him?It's strange to me that any one would say that England sold Poland out,look at what happened to England during the war.Europe was in a fight for it's life;then pulled together and defeated Germany.people should realize that England wasn't in the best of shape going in.If you had this conversation back then,all sides would be laughing..

Puzzie,I do respect the fact that she is honest about her views;though I may not agree with some of them.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Ishatu2,I guess people have their minds made up;Czechoslovakia would have more of a case to insinuate something like that.

History / Did British public protest against the sell out of Poland to the Soviets? [286]

Ishatu2,why would people refer to it as a sell out?I don't understand the logic.I just think that Chamberlain got hoodwinked by Hitler and Ribbentrop.
