The cost of the war that came of a refusal to negotiate Danzig was millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror.

Again my friend. Try logic:

Option 1. Refuse to negotiate. Consequence: millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror

Option 2. Negotiate. Consequence: We don't know. But it could not have been worse than option 1.

Pat only states that Poland made a choice and it had a consequence. It is no different from stating that the girl made the choice not to negotiate with her rapist and as a result of this refusal she was murdered. She made a choice and a consequence followed. It is a simple statement of logic and consequence an is not a moral judgement on either party.

Option 1. Refuse to negotiate.

War breaks out.

Consequence: millions of Polish dead, the Katyn massacre, Treblinka, Sobibor, Auschwitz, the annihilation of the Home Army in the Warsaw uprising of 1944, and 50 years of Nazi and Stalinist occupation, barbarism and terror

Add to that all the millions of non-Poles who died. All because the Poles didn't negotiate.

You’re the one weak on logic. You seem to have forgotten that Germany and the USSR already had Poland “partitioned” at the time of the the “negotiations.” Further, the Nazis had designs on Russia, anyway - which required access through Poland.
So, no matter what, the consequences would have been the same.
At least, by not negotiating, the Poles were not humiliated and got to take a shot at the Krauts before they went under. And the Free Poles made good contributions to the war effort, too.
