Ok, I sleept, understood my mistake in first post. Now I could talk about it without emotions.

So why they gave guarantees to Poland? Polish troops expected, that second front on the west will be opened (it was part of military pact). Look at this from polish side. You were invaded, but you have guarantees from your allies. So you fight with all your forces, and wait for reactions from you allies, which never came. I perefectly understood that it was in GB interest not to invade Germans in Sep 1939, but it wasn't in polish interest for sure.

I couldn't agree, that support of Poland was main reason for it. GB declared war, because they know, that sooner or later they'll attack by German forces.

I was too agressive in my previous post - that's true. But'll never agree, that GB troops went to war to defend Poland.

Millions of peoples were fighting agains Nazi, not to defend Poland.

They forgot about their old ally, becuase of new, very powerfull one. I know it's a political decision, but it was very sad to Poland... |
