As is traditional at this point, I will ask you to go into detail about exactly what Britain could have done in September/October 1939 but did not do.
Not forcing us into stopping the mobilization, for instance, would be quite helpful.
Oh, sorry - that's August. You said September/October. Gee, I don't know... let's see:
Royal Air Force was quite strong then, wasn't it? How about bombing the hell out of Germans, for
example, no? The Royal Navy was supposed to be the strongest in the world at that time - how
about sinking the entire feckin Kriegsmarine? That might somewhat decrease the German war potential, no?
The Brits couldn't even put themselves to the trifling inconvenience of diplomatically inducing the French
to move their arses off the trenches and invade Germany from the West, when all the best Wehrmacht
units were fighting in Poland.
But NOOOOOOO, they didn't betray us - not at all.
*rolling eyes*No matter how many times you tell that lie, it will still remain just a lie. All you do is make all Poles look
bad by continuing to lie even when every body has noticed that you are lying.
No matter what Joseph Goebbels, of whom you are, it would seem, a faithful admirer, says - a lie won't
become a truth, even if you repeat it a thousand times. That's why you can stop accusing me of lying,
because, quite obviously, you are the one who is doing all the lying here.
Possibly if Poland hadn't spent 20 years thoroughly putting up the back of every country near her, Poland
might have been able to find allies who were in a better position to help Poland. Czecholslovakia, for
example, had a very decent army with good tanks and an extensive defensive line. However, instead
of siding with Czechoslovakia, Poland joined the Nazi invasion in 1938!
That is correct. Failing to form a strong and reliable alliance with Czechoslovakia was one of the biggest
mistakes that Poland made in the interwar period (having said that - considering Czech actions during
Polish-Soviet war, like not granting military access to Hungary or stopping the trains with military supplies
for us, so they had to go through Romania, it was difficult to form an alliance with country that was
so hostile towards us.)
I would even be inclined to agree that taking back Zaolzie (even though rightful and fully justified action)
was a mistake on our part.
Remind me which nation planned a post-war attack to liberate Poland.
:-)
I have a feeling that we are venturing into the area of cabaret and humorous writing. Wrong thread, I think.
General Anders' memoirs
No... please... and I mean PLEEEEEEEASE - don't tell me that your entire argument hinges upon some
memoirs of a man, who could have, or I should say, most likely did have certain obligations towards
Great Britain?
you demand that they either produce a copy of the invitation
No. I gently request that YOU produce a copy of that mythical invitation. If you can't do that,
it would seem quite reasonable to shut the f*ck up and stop lying.
