Pat's an idiot with no idea of history "Hitler had not wanted war with Poland. He had wanted an alliance with Poland in his anti-Comintern pact against Joseph Stalin. " --> yeah right. Evidently Pat has never read Mein Kampf.
Also, Danzig may have been mostly German, like Wrocław and even Poznan, but the surroundings were Polish. It was the same in Romania with Hungarians in the plains and ROmanians in the mountains.
In any case, this was land that was tossed between Poles and Germans and Baltics for centuries. Hitler wanted something worse -- he wanted to eliminate Slavs as a whole.

Hitler wanted something worse -- he wanted to eliminate Slavs as a whole. Not all Slavs, he was ok with Czechs and Slovaks as long as they behaved. But he coveted the lands in the East, and Poland and Russia were in the way, so he made up the canard that Slavs were inferior, to attempt to justify his occupation of those lands, the Slavs in the other countries, didn't bother him.
