even the Poles have been able to withstand against Germans it was sure that they will collapse with the Soviet attack.
and correct me if i am wrong but i think this was the 4th "sharing of Poland" between Germans and Russians...am i right?  |
Yep, it was 4th Sharing. Poles would have better chosen their aly from either USSR or Germany.... being opposed to both was calling for a problem. It was clear from the very begining that Poland CAN NOT fight both... and that Great Brittain and France would not move a finger to help them!!! So why not to aly with one against another.... Hitler offered Poland to unite against USSR but they DECLINED with despise!
I was so surprised to learn that Politician who got them INTO THAT TROUBLE is now a national hero!!! What an irony.... he was damn stupid and but his nation admires him for that!!!
Still, Lunatock stated that Poles were fine before Soviets got in... while history states that Soviets were very cautious and entered only when they could not have any serious resistance => Germans did all the job for both....

Exactly the same guy who was rulling their forces become their national hero today.... what a joke
