Hitler had not wanted war with Poland.

War? Furthest thing from his mind, he had only militarized his country and invaded Czechoslovakia... who would have thought old Adolph was thinking of war in such a situation?

Adolf Hitler at Pilsudski's funeral in 1935.

Hitler even had an honor guard posted at Pilsudski's gravesite in Krakow when the Germans invaded in 1939. Which leads to an intriguing "what if". What if Pilsudski survived to 1939. Would Poland have forsaken Britain and France to join the Anti-Comintern Pact? Would Poland have gotten a piece of the action in the East in exchange for returning Danzig and the Corridor to Germany?
