Danzig Corridor?

This is coolbert:

"when people start twisting history and wielding it as a blunt instrument without any provocation, we are wise to start asking ourselves why."

Here again with another instance of the Russian "bear" distorting and modifying history to suit the needs of the Kremlin. The stuff we thought was gone with the end of communism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union is now all the rage! Delusional revisionism that is most worrying. A clear and consistent and most troubling trend continues!

"Russia wheels out the evil weapon of history"

"A research official in the Russian defence ministry has published an essay saying that Poland effectively started the Second World War [WW2] by refusing to accede to Germany's 'modest' demands."

"The Russian view now is that if only Poland had let Germany have a land corridor to Danzig – . . . – there wouldn't have been a Second World War"

FOR MANY YEARS THIS WAS THE VIEW EXPOUNDED BY AUTHORS OF THE REVISIONIST, "RIGHT-WING" VARIETY!! IF ONLY THE POLES HAVE JUST GAVE HITLER THIS ONE TINY CONCESSION, WW2 WOULD HAVE NEVER OCCURRED!! SO GOES THE THINKING!! THE DANZIG CORRIDOR IT WAS CALLED!!

And there is a rhyme and a reason - - a hidden agenda behind this latest "essay"? The author of this Telegraph article seems to suggest so! And the rhyme and reason and hidden agenda is the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad?

"Distorting the facts about the Second World War may well be a prelude to a battle over a land corridor through Poland"

"Kaliningrad, the former city of Königsberg – remained Russian . . . it now finds itself landlocked away from its motherland . . . Are the Russians trying to tell us something?"

And if the Russian is trying to tell us something, it is not good what they are trying to say! Poland, the Baltic states, are all now part of NATO. A dispute with those various nations will be a dispute with NATO, and the U.S., for all that means!
