@parvizdeamer Tell me about the Hitler-Pilsudski Pact, about Poland's attack on Czechoslovakia, about the oppression of national minorities in Poland, etc.
On March 16, 1934, the British news agency "Wick" reported that there was an agreement between Poland and Germany to attack the Soviet Union, and already jointly with Japan. According to these plans, Germany was to capture Leningrad, and then move to Moscow. Poland was tasked with striking in two directions — Moscow and Ukraine.
Poland pursued a Nazi policy, it officially refused to respect any rights of its national minorities at the international level. In June 1934, by a special decree of the government, the Kartuz-Bereza death camp was established, in which anyone who dared to doubt the correctness of the Polish national policy was placed. Poland became a real prison for the ethnic minorities living in it — Ukrainians, Belarusians, Germans, Jews, Lithuanians, who made up at least a third of the total population.
It is noteworthy that the idea of evicting Polish Jews to Madagascar was also supported by Hitler, who, meeting with the Polish ambassador in Berlin, said that this was where he saw the solution to the Jewish problem, that is, in the forced emigration of Jews from Poland, Hungary and Romania to overseas colonies...
The rapprochement between Poland and Germany began immediately after Hitler came to power. It was the Poles who were the first in the world to conclude a non-aggression pact with Hitler, thereby marking the beginning of international recognition of the Nazi regime. Poland, in addition, began to represent the interests of Germany in the League of Nations, from where the Nazis came out with a loud scandal. The Polish rulers invariably supported all of Hitler's foreign policy attacks without exception.
But the most important subject of the Polish-Nazi rapprochement was hatred of the Soviet Union. The official Polish military doctrine, prepared in 1938, stated: "The dismemberment of Russia is at the heart of Polish policy in the East... Therefore, our possible position will be reduced to the following formula: who will take part in the section. Poland should not remain passive at this remarkable historical moment. The task is to prepare well in advance physically and spiritually... The main goal is to weaken and defeat Russia."
In December 1938, a prominent Polish diplomat, Jan Karsho-Sedlevsky, frankly told one of his German colleagues: "The political perspective for the European East is clear. In a few years, Germany will be at war with the Soviet Union, and Poland will support Germany in this war. Poland's territorial interests in the East, primarily at the expense of Ukraine, can be secured only through a Polish-German agreement reached in advance."
The culmination of the Polish-Nazi friendship was the joint partition of Czechoslovakia. As you know, the beginning of this section was Germany's demands to transfer to it the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia, inhabited mainly by Germans. At the height of the Sudeten crisis in September 1938, Poland presented the Czechs with a similar ultimatum on the "return" of the industrially developed Teszyn region, where many Poles lived.
Winston Churchill indignantly called Poland a state that, with the greed of a hyena, rushed to finish what the Nazis "did not finish" in Czechoslovakia.
