Freddie,
Absolutely agree. And if the Allies had shown a bit more compassion and foresight at Versailles, instead of allowing the French to demand the same conditions imposed on
them by Germany in 1870, there might not even have been another war.
You read a book called From Versailles to Wall Street, btw?
The Poles deserved a LOT more official recognition than they got. As late as the '70s, there were cases of British people with Polish parents being refused admission to the RAF. Why? Because Poland was a member of the Warsaw Pact!And these officials were
serious when they said that.
Never mind these people's parents fought for Britain and had been here 30 bloody years, like......
Regards,
Gordon
