Poland...ect
August 31, 1939 Hitler give Poland Ultimatum, and few hours later without any declaration of war he invaded this country. If Oscar want to find any excuse for Germans, that they didn't broke international law, let's wish him luck... Maybe he will be first in the world. Dear Pirx, Who said "I w...

Czechs was very 'flexible' in their relationships with German and Hitler. They ended up, as...what? A buffer state, an ally, I am not sure how to call their fate. Lets quote David Irving - he is consider as pro German, and mostly anti Polish. However he is a brillant historian. So what he wrote in ...

Hausser and Steiner
So Hausser and Steiner pretty much determined the basic doctrine and leadership styles of the Waffen-SS. If I may, what was the nature of Steiner's involvement with West European Freiwilligen? Thanks, BullsEye. BTW, what were the curriculums like at these schools? I heard that W-SS officers' traini...

Re: Blaskowitz
You are right sir! Had forgotten about withdrawal from southern france. He was very very good at his job. Would have done well (as if it would have helped) in russia. So - do you think he offed himself? I have a hard time with the line that he did so, and as you know, he irritated a few people! Do ...

Hi Bullseye, I had the English text of the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Poland and Germany in front of me when I last wrote. It stated that the Declaration could be denounced by either side at the end of ten years and that this could be done with six months notice. i.e. the declaration cou...

Re: An interesting interview re Comrades Assoc.
Two years ago I was browsing the military section in a book store in a scenic little town in Tennessee. Got to chatting with the owner and this is his story: He was with military intelligence (US) in the late fifties, early sixties and was assigned to keep an eye on the former SS men. He got to kno...

Re: Felix Steiner
I heard that Steiner and Hausser were instrumental in the early days of the SS-VT. Could someone tell me what they did to help create the Waffen-SS? Hi Freiritter, Both Hausser and Steiner were talented trainers and innovators who's talents were put to use by the Waffen SS. Hausser came to the SS t...

German - Polish Agreement, 1934.
Hi Bullseye/Oscar, It should be noted that the Polish-German Non-Agression Agreement was for ten years and could not be denounced by either party until six months before its due expiry date in 1944. That's not correct, Sid. The wording of the document gives each signatory th option of not renewing ...

Re: Poland: Between a rock and a hard place?
I have come across many times as appearing pro-Nazi becuase I dare to question what's held as the common and acceptable view and I'm afraid that these two posters of Polish extraction are trying to paint anyone who thinks differently than what common wisdom allows as pro-Fascist, or worse Does this...

Re: a bit of corrida
Poland was seen by Hitler as a buffer between Germany and the Soviet Union and said so when Beck visited Berchtesgaden on 5 January 1939. During their conversation Hitler made it abundantly clear that he desired for there to be a strong Polish state, that his attitude towards Poland had not changed...
