POLAND'S GUILT FOR WORLD WAR II 1920-1939

Rudolf Trenkel was a resident in Thorn, West Prussia which came following the Versailles Treaty a part of reborn Poland. Trenkel details the continuing persecution of Germans, who had lived in West Prussia from time immemorial by the Polish government and people who were attempting an ethnic cleansing of the land. He also goes into attempts to steal and cajole further German territory, as well as land in the East from the White Russians, Ukrainians, and Russians. Extensively remarked upon is the desire of Poland for war against its neighbors in an attempt to establish a Greater Polish Empire in Central Europe. Rather than build up its new State, which consisted of German farms and industrial areas of Western Prussia, Poland allowed these to decay into poverty in the Polish military dictatorship's quest to be, and be recognized as, a Great Power. The years of Polish Rule over German areas prior to Poland's notice of full mobilization in August 1939, which is a de facto declaration of war, and the consequent German strike which overthrew the Versailles Polish State in September 1939 are detailed. Also are the massacres of ethnic Germans who were ripped from their homeland by the Versailles Treaty in ethnic cleansing which finally caused Germany to go to war against Poland after innumerable provocations and atrocities which launched the desired World War II on the part of Western warmongers. This is a book by a man who lived through these terrible times and his desire to set the historical record straight from the victor's history of the era.
