It's my first time,
be gentle ;-)
Thanks to one of my
fellow Facebookers I came in contact with a nice piece of disinformation about WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUTBREAK OF THE IIWW.
The video is dancing about subject shadowing "the blame". There is no point other than shifting the blame from Germany to Poland. I'm a Pole, but I thing neither Poland nor Germany started IIWW (!!!)
On the surface we
have a very clear cut – in 1939 the German Army invades Poland without a
declaration of war using as a casus belli a very flimsy false-flag operation
around a Glivitz radio station.
Looking deeper we
have more or less similar picture:
From 1918, when
freemasons disposed of Kaizer Wilhelm II, to 1932 Germany was a liberal
democracy remote controlled by the international banks (just like it is today).
In 1932 those banks
stepped up their robbery and they founded a political victory of their own
agent, Adolf Hitler. Hitler – it is possible that he was the authentic German
patriot – started with robbing his own rich citizens from their property like
mines, factories or companies followed with restructurisation of said property
into the State controlled companies. In turn the shares of the same State
controlled companies were sold to ... the international bankers backing Mr.
Hitler and his NSDAP party. Obtained money was used to create a transport
infrastructure and to buy a military hardware.
A military hardware
has a short shelf life (vide the aircraft of the IWW), its buildup on the
massive scale has sense only if it is to be used. From the perspective of a
German's neighbor of 1930’s – Germans (Germen? :-) were going to war.
Hitler subdued
France in 1936 (YES, by conventional tactics of the IWW France was too weak to
fight Germany in 1936!), incorporated Austria, in Munich Conference got the
Sudeterland from Czechs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement - similarities between this and
German-Polish relations 1939 are hard to challenge), later to got whole
Czechoslovakia. Than he set his sight on Poland. It was logical for Warsaw to
expected list of increasing demands ending with subjection of the country and
incorporation of its territory to the III Reich.
Poles decided to
cut short on diplomatic dog-and-pony show...
If one decide to
look deeper... a picture of the year 1939 bends.
In 1918-22 Poles
fought the 4 uprising against Germany and won Großherzogtum Posen as well as
the major industrial region of Silesia (this uprisings are an interesting
subject by itself).
No German
government could recognise demarkation line as the state border.
On the other hand – after the coup d'etat in 1926 – Poland was ruled by the group of the old
Austrian (and German) agent marshal Josef Pilsudzki. For his whole life he and his men fought against
Russia, won the major war 1918-20 against Soviet Russia and saw the terror, the
dekulakization (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entkulakisierung)
and The Great Hunger on Ukraine. This group of Polish politicians knew
about the danger of Germany military
build-up but saw even bigger military build-up behind eastern border of Poland,
in the USSR.
After the
Soviet-Polish war of 1918-20 Poland started to prepare for the next Soviet
invasion.
Less populated
territories of the East Poland with no industry and almost no roads but with
the giant Prypet Marches in the middle was an textbook defense position. The
Polish General Staff organised army of 2 milion men into comparatively big
infantry divisions with only basic organic transport capabilities. Infantry
were to hold forts along Warsaw-Vilnus and Warsaw-Lviv railways when far from a
railway suply line fighting was to be done by anti-tank-optimised cavalry
brigades (horses do not need fuel). The Soviets would have to advance almost
head-on one riverside line resistance after another. The plan was to bleed
Soviets dry, sell one Polish destroyed division for 3 Red ones and slowly give
ground. Imagine defence-in-depth on the strategical scale.*
That plan was
doable, much smaller and poorer Finland did hold Red Army for months in war
1939-40. But Poland had no reserves to win against enemy with 6 times bigger
population. The Polish General Staff knew this, all in the Polish government
knew this, hell, all of the European politicians knew this. Poland needed
suplies, ammunition, airplanes, guns and cars. Poland - just to survive - HAD
TO HAVE EXTREMLY GOOD RELATIONS WITH GERMANY!
It goes deeper.
Let’s do some
mindgaming. The 2 major conflicts were ready to erupt in Europe - Germany vs. France and USSR vs. Poland and
Romania (Romania delivered little more than the 1/4 of Europe crude oil
consumption).
The Germany-Poland
Alliance could secure both countries from one side, but transfer of troops was
impossible without winning over France or USSR. If this alliance had been
organised there was no chance for Polish Army to fight France Army. Also German
Army would have not helped Poland against the USSR, but... Poland could give
Germany food to offset drafting of men from German villages in exchange for
aviation and car engines for Polish planes and cars (just like Germany and
Italy did 1940-43). And Germany would have helped ROMANIA against the USSR,
just to secure source of natural oil for Berlin.
There were few
possible outcomes of the Polish German alliance, noone was worst than Poland becoming
USSR colony, like it really happened in 1945.
Also from Germany
point of view the 35 million ally with 2 million army
was much more interesting than 35 million enemies Germany would need to occupy.
So what went wrong?
Hitler also asked
himself that question. He offered Poland alliance, and Poles refused? Why?
Almost no
discussed in Poland truth is... Polish government DID NOT reject a Hitler’s
offer. The Polish government did not even know about the offer.
Poland 1918-39 was
an authoritarian country, with Pilsudzki rulling as an authority over
government but not as a dictator or a king. Than he died. After the death of
Pilsudzki in 1935 Polish goverment hardly changed.
"Adolf Hitler during Pilsudzki's memorial service, Berlin, 1935"
General Rydz was
nominated to fill Pilsudzki role as the Inspector General of Armed Forces, but
lacked informal authority to supervise other branches of government.
The civil services
were supervised by president Moscicki and the Foregin Affairs was a fief of
minister Josef Beck.
Josef Beck, the
Polish minister of Foregin Affairs turned out to be a London spy***. On orders
from London he did not informed president Moscicki or marshal Rydz about any
German propositions! He got orders to ignore Germany, to accept anti-Germany
“British guarantees” in March of 1939, and, later to terminate with extreme
prejudice more-or-less good relations with Germany.
May the 5 of 1939
Beck publicly said:
"Peace is a
precious and a desirable thing. Our generation, bloodied in wars, certainly
deserves peace. But peace, like almost all things of this world, has its price,
a high but a measurable one. We in Poland do not know the concept of peace at
any price. There is only one thing in the lives of men, nations and countries
that is without price. That thing is honor."
In other words one
of closest de facto allies of Germany regards German leadership as a honorlles
and not respecting their own words. There is no greater accusation in
diplomacy.
Beck forced Poland
and Germany to the confrontation. He knew Poland was not ready for this, he was
a retired military colonel and could understand raports.**
Any sources of
information about Beck decision to betray his own country are very limited. Few
month later Poland fell, Beck was interned in Romania where he died in 1944 and
“the Polish Government in Exile” was almost exclusivly pro-British. Some data
flow came from diaries of Beck’s subordinates who – marginalised in Polish
exiles society - tried to understand “why?”.
But there are a lot
of other evidences that it was London who set Poland to fall and it was London
who lighted the fuse of the IIWW. British did not left anything unchecked
carefully nursed their monser-child to the maturity:
1/ London used all
its political might to stop any military hardware from reaching Poland before
the 01 of September 1939. They even refused accept money from their own
government loan. They also sabotaged French companies trying to deliver
anything to Poland.
2/ In summer 1939
France and Great Britain started negotiate an aliance with the USSR. Asked “how
exactly the USSR was to fight Germany?” answered “on Polish territory; with
acceptance of Polish government of course”.
3/ The 23 of August
1939 Germany and USSR signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. British intelligence
had been informed about the fact but London did not pass the news to Poles.
Polish government found out that is practicly surrounded thanks to the German
orginated leak.
4/ In August 1939
London banks refused Germany any loans stating that Germany defaulted on its
payments and should go bankrupt. In this very moment Adolf Hitler could choose
to betray everything he worked for his whole life or go to war, because a nation
at war pays no debts.
5/ In the 25 of
August 1939 London signed Agreement of Mutual Assistance between the United
Kingdom and Poland. But then on 29 of September Brits demanded cancelation of
Polish general mobilisation on the basis of “needles tension rising”.

Josef Beck knew
this all.
***I'm not sure if
Beck was a spy from MI5 or for the City of London.
