I spent a few weeks in Warsaw and Polish folks are very proud of their independence now. As they should be.

Yes, Poland had it stop Army brass and government officials executed by the Russians to prevent them from ever reestablishing Poland again

SGT John " Mac " McConnell - I still think that Vladimir Putin is sore over this that Poland is now part of NATO and protected. Interesting Lee that Stalin and Hitler made that pact in August 1939 two divided Poland up and that became World War II period so we have to blame the Russians in part for the Second World War.

The quote is from Browning I believe, and is mentioned during Dieppe mission planning in "The Capitalist Holocaust" when Britain is being forced/asked to open a second front to "assist" the Russians. Peter Wright also mentions it in his book "Spycatcher" when MI-6 is asked by Molotov why the British are not really giving the Soviets "decent" aid (Britain was sending Russia easily destroyed Valentine tanks and easily shot down Gladiator aircraft). Browning, as Chief of Staff is asked by MI-6 to interpret Churchill's lazy orders to Montgomery to basically lose as few men as possible while keeping the Germans suitably entrenched in the desert. Basically give the Germans reason to stay in the desert without letting them know that they are in an attrition war.
