Fact is Allies accepting to submit Poland to USSR is somehow being accomplice of Katyn massacre -that USSR tried to tie to nazis at Nuremberg- or to Red Army strategy during Warsaw Uprising -on purpose, waiting from a safe distance to let nazis stop retreat and deal with the insurgents, until they are all exterminated, allowing mass executions. Allies did not want to go to war another time, sure. The topic is not how and why it went down in matter of geopolitics. But no one can comprehend how come Poland, allied country from day 1, after 194 5 peace conference, completely lost independance. I am not saying it was wrong to do so, certainly not. I know and thank general Charles de Gaulle for his smart handling of the issue, managing to make of his alternate France libre, in the end, to be recognized as the real France, on the Allied side. After my previous Czechoslovakia approach, I went back to Poland, with the goal to survive with no loss of territory without going Fascist or Communist.Ĭould be Allies or not, as it would make historically sense, I had no strong opinion about it.īut wouldn’t it be the ultimate recipe for failure, as it was historically? Since I’m French, I know perfectly how the legitimate French governement (“L’Etat français” of Philippe Pétain), recognized as such by the USA, sided with the Axis, with an active collaboration policy while the Polish governement was always and only on the Allied side and Poland is, actually, the only defeated country of Europe that never collaborated.
