>>762094 >Who put you in power LMAO Churchill wrote a paper called ZIONISM versus BOLSHEVISM. A STRUGGLE FOR THE SOUL OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE and the USSR was the biggest opposer to Zionism and ethno-nationalism in history.
>>761798 The Polish people may have been, but Polish shlakhta? The large majority of them fled the country before the dust of September 1939 had settled and proceeded to sit on their asses and do nothing to 'liberate' their country during the war. Those that were still in the country when Germany took it, gladly collaborated, helping them hunt down and catch escapees from the Camps. The same can be said of "The Forest Brothers" of the Baltics, who spent more time and activity killing 'communists' and attacking Soviet troops than anything else. The real partisans of Poland suffered greatly and are the ones who the current Poland strives to forget, no different to Ukraine with its Banderites.

>>761787 Poland was the primary country that consistently got in the way of the USSR forming a defensive pact with other nations to create a balance of power that would prevent Germany from starting a war. Poland gladly assisted in the division of Czechoslovakia alongside Germany and Hungary. In 1938 Poland also refused top support France in opposing Germany's violation of the Versailles Treaty with the Anschluss, undermining their alliance and allowing Germany to solidify its position.
Germany under Hitler was friendly to Poland. Pilsudski personally congratulated Hitler for "winning the election" in 1933. In 1934 Hitler rescinded German claims on territories in Poland, removed all the tariffs and similar economic pressures that Germany had placed against Poland since 1918 and the "non-aggression pact" was signed in the name of "eternal friendship and brotherhood" for 10 years (this was in 1934). Hitler attended Pilsudski's memorial service when the latter died in 1935 and in 1939, Hitler ordered the Wehrmacht to set up an honor guard at his gravesite. He said things would’ve been different had Pilsudski never died. Hitler wanted Poland as an ally against the USSR, but Pilsudski was still reluctant to fight Russia after the close calls of the last Soviet-Polish war which he himself admitted in his memoirs, was mostly luck. The post-Pilsudski Poland was even more of a shit-show, with various power-hungry Generals vying for power and far too cowardly to consider joining an open war, despite having one of the largest and relatively modern armies in the world at the time. Instead they wanted to let Germany do all the fighting while Poland would be a 'passive support'. Hitler at that point lost interest in Polish alliance and decided to simply seize the "Polish corridor" for himself. It worked too. roughly half a million Poles served in the Wehrmacht, or as polizai, diversionists, double-agents in the SS. Polish tanks, aircraft and factories contributed to the German war machine.
>>761834 This is purposefully vague. While not like Nazi Germany, Poland's Sanitsiya was very much fascist, in the same vein (if harsher) as Franco's Spain. If you don't want to read a bunch of books then here's a video by a communist channel, it's 3 hours of sourced history of the Polish regime after WW-1 and how it came about:
