Nasunelo mi sie przy okazji, ze Polacy, ktorzy usiluja zabrac glos w
dyskusjach, bardzo rzadko znaja przedmiotowe teksty zrodlowe i przewaznie
wysuwaja wylacznie rozne zaslyszane, przeczytane, przejete od kogos
interpretacje, niestety czesto siegajace jeszcze czasow PRL.
I tak np. malo kto z Polakow "dyskutujacych" zna tekst Protokolu Poczdamskiego
(a sporo uwaza go wrecz za uklad lub traktat), prawie nikt nie zna slynnych i
miarodajnych mow Churchilla czy Byrnesa itd. itd.
Wiedza ich ogranicza sie do polskich podrecznikow szkolnych itp. tendencyjnych
banalow.

Potsdam agreement
At the Potsdam Conference (July 17 to August 2, 1945) the Big Three Allied
powers convened again to clarify and implement agreements reached at Yalta
earlier that year.

The players had changed significantly: Harry Truman had succeeded FDR, and
before the conference was over, the newly-elected Clement Attlee would replace
Winston Churchill.

Potsdam divided postwar Germany into four occupation zones, administered by
Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union, and reorganized
Germany's institutions and economy. The Allies also called for Japan to
surrender or risk total destruction.

After the war, however, the goals of Potsdam were increasingly undermined by
the tensions and suspicions of the gathering Cold War.



Protocol of the Proceedings, August l, 1945

The Berlin Conference of the Three Heads of Government of the U.S.S.R., U.S.A.,
and U.K., which took place from July 17 to August 2, 1945, came to the
following conclusions:

I. ESTABLISHMENT OF A COUNCIL OF FOREIGN MINISTERS.

A. The Conference reached the following agreement for the establishment of a
Council of Foreign Ministers to do the necessary preparatory work for the peace
settlements:

"(1) There shall be established a Council composed of the Foreign Ministers of
the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, China, France, and
the United States.

"(2) (i) The Council shall normally meet in London which shall be the permanent
seat of the joint Secretariat which the Council will form. Each of the Foreign
Ministers will be accompanied by a high-ranking Deputy, duly authorized to
carry on the work of the Council in the absence of his Foreign Ministers, and
by a small staff of technical advisers.

" (ii) The first meeting of the Council shall be held in London not later than
September 1st 1945. Meetings may be held by common agreement in other capitals
as may be agreed from time to time.

" (3) (i) As its immediate important task, the Council shall be authorized to
draw up, with a view to their submission to the United Nations, treaties of
peace with Italy, Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland, and to propose
settlements of territorial questions outstanding on the termination of the war
in Europe. The Council shall be utilized for the preparation of a peace
settlement for Germany to be accepted by the Government of Germany when a
government adequate for the purpose is established.

"(ii) For the discharge of each of these tasks the Council will be composed of
the Members representing those States which were signatory to the terms of
surrender imposed upon the enemy State concerned. For the purposes of the peace
settlement for Italy, France shall be regarded as a signatory to the terms of
surrender for Italy. Other Members will be invited to participate when matters
directly concerning them are under discussion.

" (iii) Other matters may from time to time be referred to the Council by
agreement between the Member Governments.

"(4) (i) Whenever the Council is considering a question of direct interest to a
State not represented thereon, such State should be invited to send
representatives to participate in the discussion and study of that question.

"(ii) The Council may adapt its procedure to the particular problems under
consideration. In some cases it may hold its own preliminary discussions prior
to the participation of other interested States. In other cases, the Council
may convoke a formal conference of the State chiefly interested in seeking a
solution of the particular problem."

B. It was agreed that the three Governments should each address an identical
invitation to the Governments of China and France to adopt this text and to
join in establishing the Council. The text of the approved invitation was as
follows:

Council of Foreign Ministers Draft for identical invitation to be sent
separately by each of the Three Governments to the Governments of China and
France.

"The Governments of the United Kingdom, the United States and the U.S.S.R.
consider it necessary to begin without delay the essential preparatory work
upon the peace settlements in Europe. To this end they are agreed that there
should be established a Council of the Foreign Ministers of the Five Great
Powers to prepare treaties of peace with the European enemy States, for
submission to the United Nations. The Council would also be empowered to
propose settlements of outstanding territorial questions in Europe and to
consider such other matters as member Governments might agree to refer to it.

"The text adopted by the Three Governments is as follows:

"In agreement with the Governments of the United States and U.S.S.R., His
Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom and U.S.S.R., the United States
Government, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Government extend a cordial
invitation to the Government of China (France) to adopt the text quoted above
and to join in setting up the Council. His Majesty's Government, The United
States Government, The Soviet Government attach much importance to the
participation of the Chinese Government (French Government) in the proposed
arrangements and they hope to receive an early and favorable reply to this
invitation."

C. It was understood that the establishment of the Council of Foreign Ministers
for the specific purposes named in the text would be without prejudice to the
agreement of the Crimea Conference that there should be periodical consultation
between the Foreign Secretaries of the United States, the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom.

D. The Conference also considered the position of the European Advisory
Commission in the light of the Agreement to establish the Council of Foreign
Ministers. It was noted with satisfaction that the Commission had ably
discharged its principal tasks by the recommendations that it had furnished for
the terms of surrender for Germany, for the zones of occupation in Germany and
Austria and for the inter-Allied control machinery in those countries. It was
felt that further work of a detailed character for the coordination of Allied
policy for the control of Germany and Austria would in future fall within the
competence of the Control Council at Berlin and the Allied Commission at
Vienna. Accordingly it was agreed to recommend that the European Advisory
Commission be dissolved.

II. THE PRINCIPLES TO GOVERN THE TREATMENT OF GERMANY IN THE INITIAL CONTROL
PERIOD

A. POLITICAL PRINCIPLES.

1. In accordance with the Agreement on Control Machinery in Germany, supreme
authority in Germany is exercised, on instructions from their respective
Governments, by the Commanders-in-Chief of the armed forces of the United
States of America, the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
and the French Republic, each in his own zone of occupation, and also jointly,
in matters affecting Germany as a whole, in their capacity as members of the
Control Council.

2. So far as is practicable, there shall be uniformity of treatment of the
German population throughout Germany.

3. The purposes of the occupation of Germany by which the Control Council shall
be guided are:

(i) The complete disarmament and demilitarization of Germany and the
elimination or control of all German industry that could be used for military
production. To these ends:-

(a) All German land, naval and air forces, the SS., SA., SD., and Gestapo, with
all their organizations, staffs and institutions, including the General Staff,
the Officers' Corps, Reserve Corps, military schools, war veterans'
organi

[Gość: Krycha]

(a) All German land, naval and air forces, the SS., SA., SD., and Gestapo, with
all their organizations, staffs and institutions, including the General Staff,
the Officers' Corps, Reserve Corps, military schools, war veterans'
organizations and all other military and semi-military organizations, together
with all clubs and associations which serve to keep alive the military
tradition in Germany, shall be completely and finally abolished in such manner
as permanently to prevent the revival or reorganization of German militarism
and Nazism;
(b) All arms, ammunition and implements of war and all specialized facilities
for their production shall be held at the disposal of the Allies or destroyed.
The maintenance and production of all aircraft and all arms. ammunition and
implements of war shall be prevented.
(ii) To convince the German people that they have suffered a total military
defeat and that they cannot escape responsibility for what they have brought
upon themselves, since their own ruthless warfare and the fanatical Nazi
resistance have destroyed German economy and made chaos and suffering
inevitable.
(iii) To destroy the National Socialist Party and its affiliated and supervised
organizations, to dissolve all Nazi institutions, to ensure that they are not
revived in any form, and to prevent all Nazi and militarist activity or
propaganda.
(iv) To prepare for the eventual reconstruction of German political life on a
democratic basis and for eventual peaceful cooperation in international life by
Germany.
4. All Nazi laws which provided the basis of the Hitler regime or established
discriminations on grounds of race, creed, or political opinion shall be
abolished. No such discriminations, whether legal, administrative or otherwise,
shall be tolerated.
5. War criminals and those who have participated in planning or carrying out
Nazi enterprises involving or resulting in atrocities or war crimes shall be
arrested and brought to judgment. Nazi leaders, influential Nazi supporters and
high officials of Nazi organizations and institutions and any other persons
dangerous to the occupation or its objectives shall be arrested and interned.
6. All members of the Nazi Party who have been more than nominal participants
in its activities and all other persons hostile to Allied purposes shall be
removed from public and semi-public office, and from positions of
responsibility in important private undertakings. Such persons shall be
replaced by persons who, by their political and moral qualities, are deemed
capable of assisting in developing genuine democratic institutions in Germany.
7. German education shall be so controlled as completely to eliminate Nazi and
militarist doctrines and to make possible the successful development of
democratic ideas.
8. The judicial system will be reorganized in accordance with the principles of
democracy, of justice under law, and of equal rights for all citizens without
distinction of race, nationality or religion.
9. The administration in Germany should be directed towards the
decentralization of the political structure and the development of local
responsibility. To this end:
(i) local self-government shall be restored throughout Germany on democratic
principles and in particular through elective councils as rapidly as is
consistent with military security and the purposes of military occupation;
(ii) all democratic political parties with rights of assembly and of public
discussion shall be allowed and encouraged throughout Germany;
(iii) representative and elective principles shall be introduced into regional,
provincial and state (Land) administration as rapidly as may be justified by
the successful application of these principles in local self- government;
(iv) for the time being, no central German Government shall be established.
Notwithstanding this, however, certain essential central German administrative
departments, headed by State Secretaries, shall be established, particularly in
the fields of finance, transport, communications, foreign trade and industry.
Such departments will act under the direction of the Control Council.
10. Subject to the necessity for maintaining military security, freedom of
speech, press and religion shall be permitted, and religious institutions shall
be respected. Subject likewise to the maintenance of military security, the
formation of free trade unions shall be permitted.
B. ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES.
11. In order to eliminate Germany's war potential, the production of arms,
ammunition and implements of war as well as all types of aircraft and sea-going
ships shall be prohibited and prevented. Production of metals, chemicals,
machinery and other items that are directly necessary to a war economy shall be
rigidly controlled and restricted to Germany's approved post-war peacetime
needs to meet the objectives stated in Paragraph 15. Productive capacity not
needed for permitted production shall be removed in accordance with the
reparations plan recommended by the Allied Commission on Reparations and
approved by the Governments concerned or if not removed shall be destroyed.
12. At the earliest practicable date, the German economy shall be decentralized
for the purpose of eliminating the present excessive concentration of economic
power as exemplified in particular by cartels, syndicates, trusts and other
monopolistic arrangements.
13. In organizing the German Economy, primary emphasis shall be given to the
development of agriculture and peaceful domestic industries.
14. During the period of occupation Germany shall be treated as a single
economic unit. To this end common policies shall be established in regard to:
(a) mining and industrial production and its allocation;
(b) agriculture, forestry and fishing;
(c) wages, prices and rationing;
(d) import and export programs for Germany as a whole;
(e) currency and banking, central taxation and customs;
(f) reparation and removal of industrial war potential;
(g) transportation and communications.
In applying these policies account shall be taken, where appropriate, of
varying local conditions.
15. Allied controls shall be imposed upon the German economy but only to the
extent necessary:
(a) to carry out programs of industrial disarmament, demilitarization, of
reparations, and of approved exports and imports.
(b) to assure the production and maintenance of goods and services required to
meet the needs of the occupying forces and displaced persons in Germany and
essential to maintain in Germany average living standards not exceeding the
average of the standards of living of European countries. (European countries
means all European countries excluding the United Kingdom and the U.S.S.R.).
(c) to ensure in the manner determined by the Control Council the equitable
distribution of essential commodities between the several zones so as to
produce a balanced economy throughout Germany and reduce the need for imports.
(d) to control German industry and all economic and financial international
transactions including exports and imports, with the aim of preventing Germany
from developing a war potential and of achieving the other objectives named
herein.
(e) to control all German public or private scientific bodies research and
experimental institutions, laboratories, et cetera connected with economic
activities.
16. In the imposition and maintenance of economic controls established by the
Control Council, German administrative machinery shall be created and the
German authorities shall be required to the fullest extent practicable to
proclaim and assume administration of such controls. Thus it should be brought
home to the German people that the responsibility for the administration of
such controls and any break-down in these con

meet the needs of the occupying forces and displaced persons in Germany and
essential to maintain in Germany average living standards not exceeding the
average of the standards of living of European countries. (European countries
means all European countries excluding the United Kingdom and the U.S.S.R.).
(c) to ensure in the manner determined by the Control Council the equitable
distribution of essential commodities between the several zones so as to
produce a balanced economy throughout Germany and reduce the need for imports.

transactions including exports and imports, with the aim of preventing Germany
from developing a war potential and of achieving the other objectives named
herein.
(e) to control all German public or private scientific bodies research and
experimental institutions, laboratories, et cetera connected with economic
activities.
16. In the imposition and maintenance of economic controls established by the
Control Council, German administrative machinery shall be created and the
German authorities shall be required to the fullest extent practicable to
proclaim and assume administration of such controls. Thus it should be brought
home to the German people that the responsibility for the administration of
such controls and any break-down in these controls will rest with themselves.
Any German controls which may run counter to the objectives of occupation will
be prohibited.
17. Measures shall be promptly taken:

people to subsist without external assistance. In working out the economic
balance of Germany the necessary means must be provided to pay for imports

[Gość: Krycha]

B. The following principles for the distribution of the German Merchant Marine
were agreed:-
(1) The German Merchant Marine, surrendered to the Three Powers and wherever
located, shall be divided equally among the U.S.S.R., the U. K., and the U.S.
A. The actual transfers of the ships to the respective countries shall take
place as soon as practicable after the end of the war against Japan. The United
Kingdom and the United States will provide out of their shares of the
surrendered German merchant ships appropriate amounts for other Allied States
whose merchant marines have suffered heavy losses in the common cause against
Germany, except that the Soviet Union shall provide out of its share for
Poland.
(2) The allocation, manning, and operation of these ships during the Japanese
War period shall fall under the cognizance and authority of the Combined
Shipping Adjustment Board and the United Maritime Authority.
(3) While actual transfer of the ships shall be delayed until after the end of
the war with Japan, a Tripartite Shipping Commission shall inventory and value
all available ships and recommend a specific distribution in accordance with
paragraph (1).
(4) German inland and coastal ships determined to be necessary to the
maintenance of the basic German peace economy by the Allied Control Council of
Germany shall not be included in the shipping pool thus divided among the Three
Powers.
(5) The Three Governments agree to constitute a tripartite merchant marine
commission comprising two representatives for each Government, accompanied by
the requisite staff, to submit agreed recommendations to the Three Governments
for the allocation of specific German merchant ships and to handle other
detailed matters arising out of the agreement between the Three Governments
regarding the German merchant ships. The Commission will hold its first meeting
not later than September 1st, 1945, in Berlin, which shall be its headquarters.
Each delegation on the Commission will have the right on the basis of
reciprocity to inspect the German merchant ships wherever they may be located.
V. CITY 0F KOENIGSBERG AND THE ADJACENT AREA.
The Conference examined a proposal by the Soviet Government to the effect that
pending the final determination of territorial questions at the peace
settlement, the section of the western frontier of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics which is adjacent to the Baltic Sea should pass from a
point on the eastern shore of the Bay of Danzig to the east, north of
Braunsberg-Goldap, to the meeting point of the frontiers of Lithuania, the
Polish Republic and East Prussia.
The Conference has agreed in principle to the proposal of the Soviet Government
concerning the ultimate transfer to the Soviet Union of the City of Koenigsberg
and the area adjacent to it as described above subject to expert examination of
the actual frontier.
The President of the United States and the British Prime Minister have declared
that they will support the proposal of the Conference at the forthcoming peace
settlement.
VI. WAR CRIMINALS.
The Three Governments have taken note of the discussions which have been
proceeding in recent weeks in London between British, United States, Soviet and
French representatives with a view to reaching agreement on the methods of
trial of those major war criminals whose crimes under the Moscow Declaration of
October, 1943 have no particular geographical localization. The Three
Governments reaffirm their intention to bring these criminals to swift and sure
justice. They hope that the negotiations in London will result in speedy
agreement being reached for this purpose, and they regard it as a matter of
great importance that the trial of these major criminals should begin at the
earliest possible date. The first list of defendants will be published before
1st September.
VII. AUSTRIA.
The Conference examined a proposal by the Soviet Government on the extension of
the authority of the Austrian Provisional Government to all of Austria.
The three governments agreed that they were prepared to examine this question
after the entry of the British and American forces into the city of Vienna.
It was agreed that reparations should not be exacted from Austria.
VIII. POLAND.
A. DECLARATION.
We have taken note with pleasure of the agreement reached among representative
Poles from Poland and abroad which has made possible the formation, in
accordance with the decisions reached at the Crimea Conference, of a Polish
Provisional Government of National Unity recognized by the Three Powers. The
establishment by the British and United States Governments of diplomatic
relations with the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity has resulted
in the withdrawal of their recognition from the former Polish Government in
London, which no longer exists.
The British and United States Governments have taken measures to protect the
interest of the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity as the
recognized government of the Polish State in the property belonging to the
Polish State located in their territories and under their control, whatever the
form of this property may be. They have further taken measures to prevent
alienation to third parties of such property. All proper facilities will be
given to the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity for the exercise
of the ordinary legal remedies for the recovery of any property belonging to
the Polish State which may have been wrongfully alienated.
The Three Powers are anxious to assist the Polish Provisional Government of
National Unity in facilitating the return to Poland as soon as practicable of
all Poles abroad who wish to go, including members of the Polish Armed Forces
and the Merchant Marine. They expect that those Poles who return home shall be
accorded personal and property rights on the same basis as all Polish citizens
The Three Powers note that the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity,
in accordance with the decisions of the Crimea Conference, has agreed to the
holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of
universal suffrage and secret ballot in which all democratic and anti-Nazi
parties shall have the right to take part and to put forward candidates, and
that representatives of the Allied press shall enjoy full freedom to report to
the world upon developments in Poland before and during the elections.
B. WESTERN FRONTIER OF POLAND.
In conformity with the agreement on Poland reached at the Crimea Conference the
three Heads of Government have sought the opinion of the Polish Provisional
Government of National Unity in regard to the accession of territory in the
north 'end west which Poland should receive. The President of the National
Council of Poland and members of the Polish Provisional Government of National
Unity have been received at the Conference and have fully presented their
views. The three Heads of Government reaffirm their opinion that the final
delimitation of the western frontier of Poland should await the peace
settlement.
The three Heads of Government agree that, pending the final determination of
Poland's western frontier, the former German territories cast of a line running
from the Baltic Sea immediately west of Swinamunde, and thence along the Oder
River to the confluence of the western Neisse River and along the Western
Neisse to the Czechoslovak frontier, including that portion of East Prussia not
placed under the administration of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in
accordance with the understanding reached at this conference and including the
area of the former free city of Danzig, shall be under the administration of
the Polish State and for such purposes should not be considered as part of the

area of the former free city of Danzig, shall be under the administration of
the Polish State and for such purposes should not be considered as part of the
Soviet zone of occupation in Germany.
IX. CONCLUSION on PEACE TREATIES AND ADMISSION TO THE UNITED NATIONS
ORGANIZATION.
The three Governments consider it desirable that the present anomalous position
of Italy, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary and Rumania should be terminated by the
conclusion of Peace Treaties. They trust that the other interested Allied
Governments will share these views.
For their part the three Governments have included the preparation of a Peace
Treaty for Italy as the first among the immediate important tasks to be
undertaken by the new Council of Foreign Ministers. Italy was the first of the
Axis Powers to break with Germany, to whose defeat she has made a material
contribution, and has now joined with the Allies in the struggle against Japan.
Italy has freed herself from the Fascist regime and is making good progress
towards reestablishment of a democratic government and institutions. The
conclusion of such a Peace Treaty with a recognized and democratic Italian
Government will make it possible for the three Governments to fulfill their
desire to support an application from Italy for membership of the United
Nations.
The three Governments have also charged the Council of Foreign Ministers with
the task of preparing Peace Treaties for Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary and
Rumania. The conclusion of Peace Treaties with recognized democratic
governments in these States will also enable the three Governments to support
applications from them for membership of the United Nations. The three
Governments agree to examine each separately in the near future in the light of
the conditions then prevailing, the establishment of diplomatic relations with
Finland, Rumania, Bulgaria, and Hungary to the extent possible prior to the
conclusion of peace treaties with those countries.
The three Governments have no doubt that in view of the changed conditions
resulting from the termination of the war in Europe, representatives of the
Allied press will enjoy full freedom to report to the world upon developments
in Rumania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland.
As regards the admission of other States into the United Nations Organization,
Article 4 of the Charter of the United Nations declares that:
1. Membership in the United Nations is open to all other peace-loving States
who accept the obligations contained in the present Charter and, in the
judgment of the organization, are able and willing to carry out these
obligations;
2. The admission of any such State to membership in the United Nations will be
effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the
Security Council.
The three Governments, so far as they are concerned, will support applications
for membership from those States which have remained neutral during the war and
which fulfill the qualifications set out above.
The three Governments feel bound however to make it clear that they for their
part would not favour any application for membership put forward by the present
Spanish Government, which, having been founded with the support of the Axis
Powers, does not, in view of its origins, its nature, its record and its close
association with the aggressor States, possess the qualifications necessary to
justify such membership.
X. TERRITORIAL TRUSTEESHIP.
The Conference examined a proposal by the Soviet Government on the question of
trusteeship territories as defined in the decision of the Crimea Conference and
in the Charter of the United Nations Organization.
After an exchange of views on this question it was decided that the disposition
of any former Italian colonial territories was one to be decided in connection
with the preparation of a peace treaty for Italy and that the question of
Italian colonial territory would be considered by the September Council of
Ministers of Foreign Affairs.
XI. REVISED ALLIED CONTROL COMMISSION PROCEDURE IN RUMANIA, BULGARIA, AND
HUNGARY.
The three Governments took note that the Soviet Representatives on the Allied
Control Commissions in Rumania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, have communicated to
their United Kingdom and United States colleagues proposals for improving the
work of the Control Commissions, now that hostilities in Europe have ceased.
The three Governments agreed that the revision of the procedures of the Allied
Control Commissions in these countries would now be undertaken, taking into
account the interests and responsibilities of the three Governments which
together presented the terms of armistice to the respective countries, and
accepting as a basis, in respect of all three countries, the Soviet
Government's proposals for Hungary as annexed hereto. (Annex I)
XII. ORDERLY TRANSFER OF GERMAN POPULATIONS.
The Three Governments, having considered the question in all its aspects,
recognize that the transfer to Germany of German populations, or elements
thereof, remaining in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, will have to be
undertaken. They agree that any transfers that take place should be effected in
an orderly and humane manner.
Since the influx of a large number of Germans into Germany would increase the
burden already resting on the occupying authorities, they consider that the
Control Council in Germany should in the first instance examine the problem,
with special regard to the question of the equitable distribution of these
Germans among the several zones of occupation. They are accordingly instructing
their respective representatives on the Control Council to report to their
Governments as soon as possible the extent to which such persons have already
entered Germany from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, to submit an estimate
of the time and rate at which further transfers could be carried out having
regard to the present situation in Germany.
The Czechoslovak Government, the Polish Provisional Government and the Control
Council in Hungary are at the same time being informed of the above and are
being requested meanwhile to suspend further expulsions pending an examination
by the Governments concerned of the report from their representatives on the
Control Council.
XIII. OIL EQUIPMENT IN RUMANIA.
The Conference agreed to set up two bilateral commissions of experts, one to be
composed of United Kingdom and Soviet Members and one to be composed of United
States and Soviet Members, to investigate the facts and examine the documents,
as a basis for the settlement of questions arising from the removal of oil
equipment in Rumania. It was further agreed that these experts shall begin
their work within ten days, on the spot.
XIV. IRAN.
It was agreed that Allied troops should be withdrawn immediately from Tehran,
and that further stages of the withdrawal of troops from Iran should be
considered at the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers to be held in
London in September, 1945.
XV. THE INTERNATIONAL ZONE OF TANGIER.
A proposal by the Soviet Government was examined and the following decisions
were reached:
Having examined the question of the Zone of Tangier, the three Governments have
agreed that this Zone, which inc

[Gość: Krycha]

XV. THE INTERNATIONAL ZONE OF TANGIER.
A proposal by the Soviet Government was examined and the following decisions
were reached:
Having examined the question of the Zone of Tangier, the three Governments have
agreed that this Zone, which includes the City of Tangier and the area adjacent
to it, in view of its special strategic importance, shall remain international.
The question of Tangier will be discussed in the near future at a meeting in
Paris of representatives of the Governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and France.
XVI. THE BLACK SEA STRAITS.
The Three Governments recognized that the Convention concluded at Montreux
should be revised as failing to meet present-day conditions.
It was agreed that as the next step the matter should be the subject of direct
conversations between each of the three Governments and the Turkish Government.
XVII. INTERNATIONAL INLAND WATERWAYS.
The Conference considered a proposal of the U.S. Delegation on this subject and
agreed to refer it for consideration to the forthcoming meeting of the Council
of Foreign Ministers in London.
XVIII. EUROPEAN INLAND TRANSPORT CONFERENCE.
The British and U.S. Delegations to the Conference informed the Soviet
Delegation of the desire of the British and U.S. Governments to reconvene the
European Inland Transport Conference and stated that they would welcome
assurance that the Soviet Government would participate in the work of the
reconvened conference. The Soviet Government agreed that it would participate
in this conference.
XIX. DIRECTIVES TO MILITARY COMMANDERS ON ALLIED CONTROL COUNCIL FOR GERMANY.
The Three Governments agreed that each would send a directive to its
representative on the Control Council for Germany informing him of all
decisions of the Conference affecting matters within the scope of his duties.
XX. USE OF ALLIED PROPERTY FOR SATELLITE REPARATIONS OR WAR TROPHIES .
The proposal (Annex II) presented by the United States Delegation was accepted
in principle by the Conference, but the drafting of an agreement on the matter
was left to be worked out through diplomatic channels.
XXI. MILITARY TALKS.
During the Conference there were meetings between the Chiefs of Staff of the
Three Governments on military matters of common interest.
ANNEX I
TEXT OF A LETTER TRANSMITTED ON JULY 12 TO THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE U.S. AND
U. K. GOVERNMENTS ON THE ALLIED CONTROL COMMISSION IN HUNGARY.
In view of the changed situation in connection with the termination of the war
against Germany, the Soviet Government finds it necessary to establish the
following order of work for the Allied Control Commission in Hungary.
1. During the period up to the conclusion of peace with Hungary the President
(or Vice-President) of the ACC will regularly call conferences with the British
and American representatives for the purpose of discussing the most important
questions relating to the work of the ACC. The conferences will be called once
in 10 days, or more frequently in case of need.
Directives of the ACC on questions or principle will be issued to the Hungarian
authorities by the President of the Allied Control Commission after agreement
on these directives with the English and American representatives.
2. The British and American representatives in the ACC will take part in
general conferences of heads of divisions and delegates of the ACC, convoked by
the President of the ACC, which meetings will be regular in nature. The British
and American representatives will also participate personally or through their
representatives in appropriate instances in mixed commissions created by the
President of the ACC for questions connected with the execution by the ACC of
its functions
3. Free movement by the American and British representatives in the country
will be permitted provided that the ACC is previously informed of the time and
route of the journeys.
4. All questions connected with permission for the entrance and exit of members
of the staff of the British and American representatives in Hungary will be
decided on the spot by the President of the ACC within a time limit of not more
than one week.
5. The bringing in and sending out by plane of mail, cargoes and diplomatic
couriers will be carried out by the British and American representatives on the
ACC under arrangements and within time limits established by the ACC, or in
special cases by previous coordination with the President of the ACC.
I consider it necessary to add to the above that in all other points the
existing Statutes regarding the ACC in Hungary, which was confirmed on January
20, 1945, shall remain in force in the future.
ANNEX II
USE OF ALLIED PROPERTY FOR SATELITE REPARATIONS OR WAR TROPHIES
1. The burden of reparation and "war trophies" should not fall on Allied
nationals.
2. Capital Equipment-We object to the removal of such Allied property as
reparations, "war trophies", or under any other guise. Loss would accrue to
Allied nationals as a result of destruction of plants and the consequent loss
of markets and trading connections. Seizure of Allied property makes impossible
the fulfillment by the satellite of its obligation under the armistice to
restore intact the rights and interests of the Allied Nations and their
nationals.
The United States looks to the other occupying powers for the return of any
equipment already removed and the cessation of removals. Where such equipment
will not or cannot be returned, the U.S. will demand of the satellite adequate,
effective and prompt compensation to American nationals, and that such
compensation have priority equal to that of the reparations payment.
These principles apply to all property wholly or substantially owned by Allied
nationals. In the event of removals of property in which the American as well
as the entire Allied interest is less than substantial, the U.S. expects
adequate, effective, and prompt compensation.
3. Current Production-While the U.S. does not oppose reparation out of current
production of Allied investments, the satellite must provide immediate and
adequate compensation to the Allied nationals including sufficient foreign
exchange or products so that they can recover reasonable foreign currency
expenditures and transfer a reasonable return on their investment. Such
compensation must also have equal priority with reparations.
We deem it essential that the satellites not conclude treaties, agreements or
arrangements which deny to Allied nationals access, on equal terms, to their
trade, raw materials and industry; and appropriately- modify any existing
arrangements which may have that effect.
(b)Proclamation Defining Terms for Japanese Surrender, July 26, 1945
(1) We-The President of the United States, the President of the National
Government of the Republic of China, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain,
representing the hundreds of millions of our countrymen, have conferred and
agree that Japan shall be given an opportunity to end this war.
(2) The prodigious land, sea and air forces of the United States, the British
Empire and of China, many times reinforced by their armies and air fleets from
the west, are poised to strike the final blows upon Japan. This military power
is sustained and inspired by the determination of all the Allied Nations to
prosecute the war against Japan until she ceases to resist.
(3) The result of the futile and senseless German resistance to the might of
the aroused free peoples of the world stands forth in awful clarity as an
example to the people of Japan. The might that now converges on Japan is
immeasurably greater than that which, when applied to the resisting Nazis,
necessarily laid waste to the lands, the industry and the method of

is sustained and inspired by the determination of all the Allied Nations to
prosecute the war against Japan until she ceases to resist.
(3) The result of the futile and senseless German resistance to the might of
the aroused free peoples of the world stands forth in awful clarity as an
example to the people of Japan. The might that now converges on Japan is
immeasurably greater than that which, when applied to the resisting Nazis,
necessarily laid waste to the lands, the industry and the method of life of the
whole German people. The full application of our military power, backed by our
resolve, All mean the inevitable and complete destruction of the Japanese armed
forces and just as inevitably the utter devastation of the Japanese homeland.
(4) The time has come for Japan to decide whether she will continue to be
controlled by those self-willed militaristic advisers whose unintelligent
calculations have brought the Empire of Japan to the threshold of annihilation,
or whether she will follow the path of reason.
(5) Following are our terms. We will not deviate from them. There are no
alternatives. We shall brook no delay.
(6) There must be eliminated for all time the authority and influence of those
who have deceived and misled the people of Japan into embarking on world
conquest, for we insist that a new order of peace security and justice will be
impossible until irresponsible militarism is driven from the world.
(7) Until such a new order is established and until there is convincing proof
that Japan's war-making power is destroyed, points in Japanese territory to be
designated by the Allies shall be occupied to secure the achievement of the
basic objectives we are here setting forth.
(8) The terms of the Cairo Declaration shall be carried out and Japanese
sovereignty shall be limited to the islands of Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu,
Shikoku and such minor islands as we determine.
(9) The Japanese military forces, after being completely disarmed, shall be
permitted to return to their homes with the opportunity to lead peaceful and
productive lives.
(10) We do not intend that the Japanese shall be enslaved as a race or
destroyed as a nation, but stern justice shall be meted out to all war
criminals, including those who have visited cruelties upon our prisoners. The
Japanese Government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening
of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech, of
religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights
shall be established.
(11) Japan shall be permitted to maintain such industries as will sustain her
economy and permit the exaction of just reparations in kind, but not those
[industries] which would enable her to re-arm for war. To this end, access to,
as distinguished from control of, raw materials shall be permitted. Eventual
Japanese participation in world trade relations shall be permitted.
(12) The occupying forces of the Allies shall be withdrawn from Japan as soon
as these objectives have been accomplished and there has been established in
accordance with the freely expressed will of the Japanese people a peacefully
inclined and responsible government.
(13) We call upon the government of Japan to proclaim now the unconditional
surrender of all Japanese armed forces, and to provide proper and adequate
assurances of their good faith in such action. The alternative for Japan is
prompt and utter destruction.

Tekst jest za długi, żeby go tłumaczyć. Generalnie ustanawia trzy D -
denazyfikację, demilitaryzację i demokratyzację Niemiec, nakazuje ściganie
zbrodniarzy wojennych i wyższych urzędników, aby postawić ich przed sądem oraz
aresztowwanie i internowanie tych, którzy nazistowskie przedsięwzięcia
popierali oraz wyższych funkcjonariuszy nazistowwskich instytucji.

Wszystkich członków NSDAP, którzy byli więcej niż nominalnym członkiem partii

stanowisk w przedsiębiorstwach prywatnych.
Poziom zycia Niemiec nie może przekraczać przeciętnego poziomu życia w krajach
europejskich z wyłączeniem UK i ZSRR, aby zapewnić utrzymanie sił okupacyjnych.

decentralizacja gospodarki, aby straciła siłę ekonomiczną i poddanie kontroli

Ciekawy zapis w sprawie reparacji

Następnie jest wyliczone ile ZSRR może wywieźć z zachodnich stref okupacyjnych

Aliantów w Niemczech.

Następnie jest o statkach i marynarce, jak będą dzielone statki i że większość

Odnotowujemy z przyjemnością, że osiągnięte porozumienie między reprezentantami
Polaków w kraju i zagranicą umożliwiło zgodnie z decyzjami konferencji
Jałtanskiej (Krymskiej) uformowanie Polskiego Tymczasowego Rządu Jedności
Narodowej uznawanego przez Trzy mocarstwa. Uznanie PTRJ przez W. Brytanie i USA
jest równoznaczne z wycofaniem uznania byłego Polskiego Rządu Londyńskiego,
który już nie istnieje.

Część dotyczącą Polski przetłumaczę dokładnie jutro, bo muszę iść spać.

Pisz na temat!

[Gość: Emilek]

[Gość: Krycha]

Pisałam na temat - Silesius zarzucił, że Polacy nie znają tekstu Umowy
Poczdamskiej. Informacja o ustaleniach dotyczących Niemców była konieczna, aby
Niemcy na tym Forum uzmysłowili sobie, że to nie był spisany jakiś protokól z
nieformalnej rozmowy - tylko UMOWA - AGREEMENT, konsekwentnie realizowana:
demilitaryzacja, denzyfikacja, demokratyzacja Niemiec i Trybunał w Norymerdze.
W tym kontekście trzeba widzieć decyzję o wysiedleniu Niemców, a nie tylko
zacytować parę słów: "pod administracją polską do czasu podpisania traktatu
pokojowego". Uprzejmie przypominam, że w 1990 roku zebrały się mocarstwa (USA,
ZSRR, UK, Francja plus RFN i NRD) tzw. 4+2 i podpisały porozumienie w sprawie
zjednoczenia Niemiec i ich granicy, właśnie dlatego, że w wyniku zimnej wojny
nie doszło do konferencji pokojowej. Przedmiotem porozumienia nie była kwestia
wysiedlenia Niemców i krzywdy, jaka spotkała cywilna ludność.
Jeśli będę miała czas, to przetłumaczę fragment dotyczący wysiedlenia Niemców z
Polski, Czechosłowacji i Wegier.

XII. ORDERLY TRANSFER OF GERMAN POPULATIONS.
The Three Governments, having considered the question in all its aspects,
recognize that the transfer to Germany of German populations, or elements
thereof, remaining in Poland, Czechoslovakia and Hungary, will have to be
undertaken. They agree that any transfers that take place should be effected in
an orderly and humane manner.


Prosze sobie to przetlumaczyc. Postanowienie to nalezy widziec w kontekscie
dokonywanych przez Polakow juz w chwili konferencji brutalnych wypedzen - stad
wezwanie do humanitarnego dzialania.
Decyzja ta dotyczy Polski, Wegier i Czechoslowacji. Natomiast decyzji o
wysiedleniu Niemcow z terenow oddanych pod administracje polska (ktore Polska
nie byly) jako takiej po prostu nie bylo.
Jezeli ktos ma problem z taka intepretacja, niech sie zapozna z mowa Byrnesa z
1948 roku wygloszona w Stuttgart. Byrnes byl ministrem spraw zagranicznych USA
i wspolreprezentowal USA na konferencji - wiec wie, co ustalal.

Podpisanie umow w 1990 roku to inna sprawa, wobec zasady, ze prawo nie dziala
wstecz nie majaca znaczenia dla wypedzen i wywlaszczen. Nie sa one tez
traktatem pokojowym (Mazowieckiemu marzylo sie to, ale Bush senior go zbyl).
W umowach z 1990 roku jest mowa o granicy Republiki Federalnej Niemiec, co
sprawe ostatecznego ustalenia zachodniej granicy Polski oczywiscie nadal
pozostawia otwarta - niekoniecznie musi to byc granica niemiecko-polska.
Osobiscie bylbym za granica slasko-polska.

Poza tym Polska anulowala dekrety o wywlaszczeniach Niemcow, problem obraca sie
obecnie wylacznie wokol utrzymania w mocy ustaw nacjonalizacyjnych. A te, chcac
