The Unknown History of the German-Polish Conflict in
1939: a Brief Synopsis.

by Walter Ruthard

To understand how the war in 1939 between Poland and
Germany, and consequently WW2, unfolded, it is not
sufficient to look at - and accept - the widely-held
view that peace-loving and weak little Poland was
attacked by an ever-marauding National Socialist
Germany. Rather, one must look much deeper into
history.

This conflict which cost many millions of lives did
not originate with the German invasion of Poland on
September 1, 1939, as is still claimed today by
over-simplifying historians. It is not just a
black-and-white story, but a complex one. It was also
not caused by the Polish mobilization of her army two
days previous, on August 30, 1939, although the
mobilization of a country's army, according to
international standards, is equal to a declaration of
war on the neighboring country.

German-Polish relations are even today poisoned by
centuries-old, deep-seated hate on the Polish side.
For centuries the Poles have been taught from early
childhood on that Germans were evil and ought to be
fought whenever there was a promise of success. Hate
on such a scale, as it was and still is promoted in
Poland today against her westerly neighbor,
eventually leads to a chauvinism that knows few
constraints. In Poland, as in all countries, the
respective elites use the means accessible to them to
shape public sentiment. Traditionally these elites
have been the Polish Catholic Church, writers,
intellectuals, politicians and the press. For a
balanced understanding of the forces which moved
Poland inexorably ever closer to the war against
Germany, it is essential to investigate the role these
components of the Polish society have played in the
past. And it is fairly easy to find abundant evidence
for the above claim and to trace it from the present
time back into the distant past.

"Póki wiat wiatem, Polak Niemcowi nie bedzie
bratem." This is a Polish proverb and translated into
English it means: "As long as the world will exist,
the Pole will never be the Germans brother." (1) While
the age of this proverb cannot be traced precisely, it
is reflected by a recent poll (1989) taken amongst
students of three educational establishments in
Warsaw, where only four of 135 fourth-graders
[ten-year-olds!] declared having amicable feelings
toward the German people. Half of the students
questioned considered the Germans to be cruel,
spiteful and bloodthirsty. One of the students wrote:
"The Germans are as bad as wild animals. Such a
people oughtn't even to exist. And now they even
want to unite!"(2) One year later, in 1990, the then
Polish Prime Minister Lech Walesa made his feelings
towards his German neighbors publicly known: "I do not
even shrink from a statement that is not going to make
me popular in Germany: if the Germans destabilize
Europe anew, in some way or other, then partition is
no longer what will have to be resorted to, but rather
that country will have to he erased from the map, pure
and simple. East and West have at their disposal the
advanced technology necessary to carry this verdict
out."(3)

It can reasonably be assumed that these remarks of a
public figure like the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and
Polish president Lech Walesa reflect emotions that are
very common in his country. While the three samples of
hateful Polish sentiments against Germans were
expressed in very recent times, there are many more
outbursts of chauvinistic feelings and intentions
against Germans in the not too distant past, only some
60 years ago. An example is this Polish slogan from
Litzmannstadt, January 1945: "Reich Germans pack your
suitcases, ethnic Germans buy your coffins!" (4) It is
especially important to know this in order to fully
understand what this writer proposes: namely, that
unrestricted _expression of hate and disregard of the
rights of others in international affairs can lead to
tragedies of unimaginable proportions.

Many years before the differences between Germany and
Poland escalated to the point of no return, numerous
diplomatic efforts were made by the German government
to defuse the ever more dangerous situation the two
countries were facing. These efforts were all rejected
by Poland. One of them comes to mind: on January 6th ,
1939, the German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop met
with the Polish Foreign Minister Josef Beck in Munich
to discuss the differences between the two countries.
Von Ribbentrop proposed "the following solution: the
return of Danzig to Germany. In return, all of
Poland's economic interests in this region would be
guaranteed, and most generously at that. Germany would
be given access to her province of East Prussia by
means of an extraterritorial highway and rail line. In
return, Germany would guarantee the Corridor and the
entire Polish status, in other words, a final and
permanent recognition of each nation's borders." Beck
replied: "For the first time I am pessimistic...
Particularly in the matter of Danzig I see 'no
possibility of cooperation.'"(5)

The belligerent policy of the Polish leadership was,
and is of course, echoed by the public in that
country. It goes without saying that a diplomat cannot
use the same language as the little man at home can.
The desired goal, however, is the same. It is the
destruction, and if need be, the extermination of the
Germans as Mr. Walesa so clearly stated. A leading
role in forging the public view in Poland is that of
the Catholic Church. To read what she taught her
followers is truly bloodcurdling. In 1922 the Polish
Canon of Posen, prelate Kos, recited a song of hate
which he had borrowed from a 1902 drama by Lucjan
Rydel, "Je cy" (The Prisoners): "Where the German sets
down his foot, the earth bleeds for 100 years. Where
the German carries water and drinks, wells are foul
for 100 years. Where the German breathes, the plague
rages for 100 years. Where the German .shakes hands,
peace breaks down. He cheats the strong, he robs and
dominates the weak, and if there were a path leading
straight to Heaven, he wouldn't hesitate to dethrone
God Himself. And we would even see the German steal
the sun from the sky." (6) This is by no means a
singular individual case. On August 26th,1920,the
Polish pastor in Adelnau said in a speech: "All
Germans residing in Poland ought to be hanged."(7)
And another Polish proverb: "Zdechly Niemiec, zdechly
pies, mala to roznia jest" - "A croaked German, is a
croaked dog, is just a small difference"(8)

Here is the text of another Polish-Catholic war song
which was sung in 1848 at the Pan-Slavic Congress in
Prague:

"Brothers, take up your scythes! Let us hurry to war!
Poland's oppression is over, we shall tarry no more.
Gather hordes about yourselves. Our enemy, the German,
shall fall!
Loot and rob and burn! Let the enemies die a painful
death.
He that hangs the German dogs will gain God's reward.
I, the provost, promise you shall attain Heaven for
it.
Every sin will be forgiven, even well-planned murder,
If it promotes Polish freedom everywhere.
But curses on the evil one who dares speak well of
Germany to us.
Poland shall and must survive. The Pope and God have
promised it.
Russia and Prussia must fall. Hail the Polish banner!
So rejoice ye all: Polzka zyje, great and small!"(9)

Not only did these "Christian" priests excel in
rhetoric aimed at cultivating deadly hate against
Germans during the pre-1939 years, they also prayed in
their churches, "O wielk wojn ludów prosimy Ci ,
Panie! (We pray to you for the great War of Peoples,

      Chyba, ze trafi sie jakis naukowiec, ktory te brednie bedzie chcial analizowac.

      Ja tylko powiem jedno. Takich "objawow" jest od pewnego czasu pelno.
      Ludzie sieja straszna nienawisc, o ktorej oczywiscie nie wiecie, bo skad macie
      wiedziec?

      Mnie sie czesto trafiaja takie wypowiedzi, ze noz sie w kieszeni otwiera.
      To sa takie pomyje, ze normalnie myslacy czlowiek zastanawia sie skad sie biora
      takie swinstwa i skad sie bierze taka nienawisc graniczaca z glupota?!

      Polska jest niestety znienawidzonym krajem przez NIEKTORE nacje.
      Gleboko zakorzeniona, gleboka nienawisc narodowa w stosunku do spoleczenstwa
      Polakow, kraju i polskosci pod kazdym wzgledem.

      A Wy w Polsce nie macie zielonego pojecia jak was nienawidza za granicami.

      Sprawa walki z uprzedzeniami jest sprawą z góry przegraną. Tacy idioci jak
      Walther Ruthard istnieli, istnieją i będą istnieć. I część społeczeństwa zawsze
      da im posłuch. Jedyne, co można robić, to zmniejszać rozmiary owego uprzedzenia.
      Dopóki jest to publikacja w jakimś "Parrisburg Weekly" czy innym "Patohoe
      Observer" zasięg szkód jest niewielki. Gorzej, że takie bzdury niestety
      pojawiają się w gazetach w rodzaju New York Times'a o światowym zasięgu
      oddziaływania.Tu pozostaje jedynie pisać sprostowania (niezbyt skuteczne), a
      typów szczególnie upartych stawiać przed sądem. Jesli będzie to częste, to
      dziennikarzyna się zastanowi, czy koniecznie zależy mu na procesie.Tu chyba
      trzeba brać przykład z Żydów - Ci są niedościgli pod tym względem. I to jest
      zadanie, któremu my krajowcy nie sprostamy. To zabawa dla wpływowych członków
      Polonii

      Czy to była nieprawda? Bo autor się chyba z prawdą nie mija. Natomiast wrażenie
      zostaje o agresywnych Polakach i biednych Niemcach.
      Oglądałem filmy niemieckie po wojnie 1939, ton ten sam, plus kłamstwa o polskich
      mordach.
      Jak odpowiedzieć? Dać materiał do tej samej gazety o wyczynach niemieckich wobec
      Polaków do 1939. Byłby obfitszy.
      I tu problemik:
      czy ma ktoś znajomego historyka, który mógłby taki tekst od ręki napisać?
      Tu żartów nie ma. Niemcy zaniedługo wezmą się za zachodnią i północną Polskę.
      Źle, jeżeli będą postrzegani jako cywilizatorzy w silnych państwach.
