In hindsight with what happened after stalins takeover we can only hope Poland appreciated the thought at least
As they our now one of our greatest hopes in defense
„Hitlerism must be crushed.“ Just a year after they handed over Czechoslovakia (15 million people, mobilized army of 1 million men, one of the largest weapons manufacturers in Europe) to Hitler.
Back then there was 2 days ultimatum…Today, Russia is attacking Europe country and killing people for more than 11 years, and nobody does shit about that
As a romanian now the date 3rd of September now does ring a bell. Basicly russian propaganda insisted today Romania joins the Ukraine war. 🙃
Chamberlain is a great example of how de-escalation ends
(Spoiler, it ends horribly)
And then began the weird war, „la drôle de guerre“.
Where French generals positioned their armies along the Maginot Line waiting endlessly (until may 1940) for the Germans to attack.
Eventually and unfortunately, they attacked through the Ardennes, flanking and splitting the UK/FR joint armies. Paris fell 45 days later.
Spoiler: Nazism will be overthrown, but about 6 years later.
