Since Pat has written out a clear indictment of the Nazi's for not playing nice I don't see how you can interpret anything Pat says in this article as claiming that the Nazi's were or would have played nice.
Stop trying to put your own words in Pat's mouth. You can take him to task for something he actually said, but not for something you imagine him to have said.
LOL! Pat says flat-out that none of the unpleasantness would have happened at all, but for those awful Poles' unwillingness to negotiate about Danzig.
Stop trying to put your own words in Pat's mouth.
I'm using Pat's own words -- I've justified my comments with direct quotes! You just won't admit that's what Pat's really saying (and has been saying for years).
Which says about as much about you, as it does about Pat.
Have a nice life, Andy. I have no more time for your twaddle.
