January 1939: the Polish Authorities Decline Hitler’S Offer
Poland – Germany – History Issue: 16/2020 08/01/2021 January 1939: the Polish authorities decline Hitler’s offer Written by Prof. dr hab. Stanisław Żerko In the second week of January 1939, shortly after Minister Józef Beck spoke with Adolf Hitler in the dictator’s spectacular mountain residence near Berchtesgaden, the Polish leaders who gathered in the Royal Castle in Warsaw unanimously rejected the German offer. The way they saw it, an acceptance of the Reich’s proposal would place Poland well on its path towards vassalage and subjection to Germany. Contrary to popular belief, the offer concerned not only Poland’s consent to the annexation of Gdańsk to the Reich and to creating an extraterritorial link between Germany with Gdańsk Pomerania. Hitler’s vision was to turn Poland into the Reich’s satellite state and have Polish troops hemorrhage on the Eastern Front while helping to build the German empire. Five years earlier, less than a year after Hitler ascent to power, Polish-German relations took an unexpected turn. Poland’s relations with the Weimar Republic had been severely strained. The successive governments in Berlin pushed to revise the Versailles Treaty and especially to recover some of its lost eastern territories. At a 1925 Locarno conference, the Reich adopted a new foreign policy of friendly cooperation with Western powers. It also declared a trade war against Poland and escalated its revisionist anti-Polish propaganda. The Germans circulated the narrative of a “burning border” with Poland and of an allegedly absurd “Polish corridor” separating the Reich from East Prussia and – in the League of Nations – touted cases of violations of the rights of the German minority in Poland. -

Acta 103.Indd
Acta Poloniae Historica 103, 2011 PL ISSN 0001–6892 Marek Kornat THE POLISH IDEA OF ‘THE THIRD EUROPE’ (1937–1938): A REALISTIC CONCEPT OR AN EX-POST VISION? The concept of ‘the Third Europe’ – or ‘the Intermarium Bloc’ – was certainly an interesting political project invented by the Polish Foreign Minister Józef Beck in the years 1937–8. It was bold and ambitious, but quite controversial, therefore it was merely mentioned in many works devoted to the foreign policy of the interwar Poland. There can be no doubt today that without a careful analysis of the assumptions of this concept, it is impossible to grasp the real meaning of the Polish ‘policy of balance’ between Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union, as well as the way of thinking of the Polish leaders about international affairs towards the end of the 1930s. The idea of concentrating the smaller states of East-Central Europe around Poland was one of the most essential and independent politi- cal concepts of Beck, although, quite naturally, it referred to various similar ideas put forward by Polish political thought and in the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the dawn of Poland’s independence. Had this project any real basis in the political reality of the Europe of the 1930s? What was its essence? What were its concrete pros- pects? What aims did Józef Beck connect with it – who was regarded, not without reason, as a fi rm adherent of bilateralism in international relations and a critic of the concept of ‘bloc-building’ as a method of fi nding security? What were the possibilities of Polish diplomacy in the realities of the late 1930s? Was it a real political project, or maybe only a concept described by historians ex post? What determined its failure? The present study is devoted to refl ection upon these questions. -

JANA PAWŁA II E –mail: [email protected] www.zzsp.miasto.zgierz.p l S t r . 2 11 listopada 2015 Droga do niepodległej Polski 11 listopada stał się datą symboliczną oznaczającą odzyskanie przez Polskę niepodległości w 1918 roku po 123 latach niewoli. Przyjazd Józefa Piłsudskiego do Warszawy i przekazanie mu pełni władzy wojskowej i cywilnej przez Radę Regencyjną zbiegło się przypadkowo w czasie z podpisaniem rozejmu w Compiegne , kończącego działania militarne na frontach I wojny świato- wej. 10 listopada 1918 r. zwolniony z więzienia w Magdeburgu został Józef Piłsudski . Na dworcu w Warszawie, dokąd przyjechał ok. 7 rano, nie było tłumów, bo jego przyjazd nie był pu- blicznie zapowiedziany. Piłsudskiego witali: regent, ks. Zdzisław Lubomirski, komendant naczel- ny POW Adam Koc i kilka innych osobistości. Piłsudski pojechał od razu, w towarzystwie Koca, na "herbatę" do księcia Lubomirskiego w jego domu przy Frascati. Według wspomnień księżny Marii Lubomirskiej jej mąż przekonywał Piłsudskiego, że "on jeden Polskę zbawić potrafi w tym historycznym momencie". Według relacji księcia (jednej z dwóch) Piłsudski chciał od razu jechać do Lublina, gdzie 6-7 listopada powstał wybitnie lewicowy Tymczasowy Rząd Ludowy Republiki Polskiej z Ignacym Daszyńskim na czele i Rydzem-Śmigłym jako ministrem wojny. Piłsudski mó- wił: "Jest to rząd mój, rząd moich przyjaciół". Wysłuchał argumentacji Lubomirskiego, że rząd ten jest partyjny, a nie ogólnonarodowy i powiedział: "Tak, ale jest on na wolnej ziemi". Na to Lubo- mirski wyraził przekonanie, że lada dzień cała ziemia będzie wolna. Piłsudski mruknął: "No, ja zobaczę". 11 listopada o godzinie 11, w wagonie kolejowym w Compiegne we Francji podpisano za- wieszenie broni na froncie zachodnim. -

Nagranie dostępne na portalu epodreczniki.pl Nagranie abstraktu In 1926, Józef Piłsudski decided to take the power with the use of armed force. Ignacy Mościcki assumed the office of President. The August Novelization of 1926 became a temporary solution. One of the first decrees to be issued was the appointment of the General Armed Forces Inspector (Polish acronym: GISZ). Józef Piłsudski was appointed for this office by Ignacy Mościcki. In 1935, the April Constitution was adopted, limiting the authority of the Parliament. During the campaign for the new term of the Sejm in September 1930, the opposition leaders were arrested. Some of them were forced to emigrate. The Brest elections of November granted the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government (BBWR) 56% of the seats in the Sejm and almost 68% in the Senate. It was a result of a violation of democratic principles. The founding of the Bereza Kartuska prison in the 30s became a symbol of the Sanation’s activities. -
