pierwszy pakt o nieagresji z Niemcami.
To nie problem. Problem że nie było takiego paktu później. Putin miał rację, propozycje Hitlera były całkiem rozsądne, ostatecznie Gdańsk był w większości zamieszkiwany przez Niemców i strona niemiecka gwarantowała Polsce wolny dostęp do portu. Teraz to tylko się mówi Hitler napadł na Polskę, ale to mi trochę wygląda jak napaść Putina na Ukrainę Nie nie pomyliłem ikonki, nie ma się z czego śmiać.
Hitler’s Proposal to Poland
Poland had traditionally harbored hostile feelings toward Germany and for all German people, so Hitler proceeded with caution in attempting to settle this last territorial dispute. He was moderate in his approach and displayed considerable generosity in recognizing Polish interests. British Ambassador to Berlin, Sir Neville Henderson, acknowledged Hitler’s reasonable approach. “Of all the Germans,” Henderson said, “believe it or not, Hitler is the most moderate as far as Danzig and the Corridor are concerned.”
On October 24, 1938, Hitler had his foreign minister, von Ribbentrop, propose the following four step plan to Polish Ambassador Lipski that would have rectified the injustices of the Versailles Treaty and which should also have eliminated all sources of friction between Poland and Germany.
1.) The return of the Free City of Danzig to the Reich, but without severance of its economic ties to the Polish State. This offer would guarantee to Poland free port privileges in the city of Danzig, as well as extra-territorial access to the harbor.
2.) Germany would make no demand for the return of its former territory, now called the Polish Corridor, but Germany should be allowed to build a highway and a railroad across the Polish Corridor in order to reunite Germany with East Prussia.
3.) Mutual recognition of the location of the borders between Germany and Poland would be permanently settled. In other words, Germany would not demand return of any remaining territory ceded to Poland by the Versailles Treaty.
4.) The German-Polish Pact of 1934 would be extended from ten to twenty-five years. (In the German-Polish Pact of 1934, both countries pledged to resolve their problems through bilateral negotiations and to forgo armed conflict for a period of 10 years. The pact effectively normalized relations between Poland and Germany, which were previously strained by border disputes arising from the Treaty of Versailles.)
In his negotiations with Poland, Hitler could not have been more reasonable.
