quoting the article: "The Poles look forward to a quite Sunday confident that there will be no outbreak of hostilities at least within the next twenty-four hours -- which is a comforting thought these days. Political circles base this view on the news reaching the Warsaw Government on Chancellor Hitler's proposals to Sir Neville Henderson, the British Ambassador..."
Much criticized, Poles were not as stupid as sometimes alleged. It was their choice not to follow the appeasement example of Czechoslovakia. Instead, they paid the unimaginable price of courage. Czechs also paid a price, but nothing like that of Poland. Today we admire the Poles for their courage against Nazism, and the Czechs for their courage against the Soviet Union -- Prague spring, etc.
Poland might have stood a chance to hold out for awhile against Germany, but what they didn’t count on was also having to deal with the Soviets.
The fact is that Stalin deserves considerable blame for starting the war, that killed millions of his own subjects.
If it wasn't for Solidarnosc, we'd probably still be dealing with the Soviet Union today.
ah missed that.. yep thats pretty immiediate
