How does that sentence relate to the rest of your post, please?![]()
You really expect him to think this through?

Could you then just list the primary sources he used and mentioned in the bibliography of his book?
Nothing unexpected. The Nazis initiated those talks. And there's nothing unexpected that the Soviets were receptive to the idea that they'd reconquer the eastern parts of Poland they had lost in the 1920 Peace of Riga; as well as German blessing to reconquer the Baltic states and Bessarabia (of German's ally Romania).It was the unexpected opportunity of the non-agression pact with the USSR, signed one week before the war, that enabled him to take measures against the Poles. There was no way for Hitler to even think of this solution, had he not had the backing of the Soviets. And that he got at the last moment.
Back then, it was perfectly normal that a country lose some territory when they lost a war. And Hitler had already done quite a lot: he had fostered a Nazi movement in Danzig like he had in Sudetenland. He had stirred the pot himself.The demands of the Germans were reasonable: give us our city back, give us a road to our Eastern territories and please do not kill your German citizens.
Hitler had to do something.
It says more about your way of thinking than about actual history when you call the Poles madmen for not wanting to give up part of their territory. And we all know what happened with Czechoslovakia after it had given up part of its territory.It is the same message that Buchanan has: the Poles behaved like madmen.
Watch the first video. It was from the 'logs' of German ministry of foreign affairs, I believe. According to S. every history faculty in Germany has these books. He shows one of these books during his lecture.
He verified his findings with the 'logs' of the Foreign Office in London, and the memoirs or diaries (I believe) of this Swedish businessman who acted as a mediator.

Yes they did. Congress Poland. It was a separate state, in personal union with Russia, i.e., with the Russian Czar as its King.You are telling nothing new here. Fact also is that Poland did not exist during the entire 19th century.
Yes indeed, read that. In an incredibly short time, they raised a considerable army and withstood the Bolshevik troops, e.g., the Miracle at the Vistula.And I don't really care if Poland exists or not, it is up to them. Poland was recreated after WW1 at the expensive of the losers of WW1: Germany and Russia.

Poppycock. It had a king and a parliament, the Sejm. It was as unified as you can get. Oh, but in your view "unified" of course means "racially pure".And they simply took it back 21 years later. I am aware that en entity called Poland existed for many centuries, which had hugely varying dimensions through the centuries. But then it never was a unified national state (this is a post-Napoleonic invention) but a kingdom, where many ethnicities were losely 'unified' under one banner.

He and his Jewish advisors knew all along that this was their chance to set the world on fire and to achieve world domination for America (and hence the Jews) as a result.
Seems that nein11 still thinks Poland doesn't have a right to exist.

Though officially the Kingdom of Poland was to begin its statehood with considerable official political autonomy, the Tsars generally disregarded any restrictions on their power and severely curtailed autonomous powers following uprisings in 1830-31 and 1863 turning it first into a namestnik of the Russian Empire and later dividing it into guberniya (provinces).[1][2] Thus from the start the Polish autonomy remained nothing more than fiction

And from several independent sources (German, British, Swedish mediator) it became clear that Hitler wanted a way out of the crisis without war until one week before the actual start of the war.
He doesn't give a damn about Poland one way or the other. He just wants to advance the neo-Nasty agenda. Poland just happens to be in the way.
Bull cookies.
Hitler issued the Case White directive, telling the Wehrmacht to prepare for a surprise attack of Poland by September 1, 1939, in response to Chamberlain's guarantee that British and French forces would come to the aid of Poland if any territory were annexed by force.
You better believe Hitler wanted war. Would a man who wanted peace react in this way?
Hitler is notorious for using diplomacy as a feint or a stalling tactic to keep other countries from interfering with his expansionist policies. It took a while for the civilized nations of the world to catch on, but they finally learned that the only language Hitler understood was military force.
Fall Weiss directive
On 3 April 1939, the directive for Fall Weiss (Case White) was ready. It was issued on 11 April.
The first section, written by Hitler, began:
German relations with Poland continue to be based on the principles of avoiding any disturbances. Should Poland, however, change her policy towards Germany, a final settlement might become necessary in spite of the Treaty in force with Poland. The aim then will be to destroy Polish military strength, and create in the East a situation which satisfies the requirements of National Defence. The free state of Danzig will be proclaimed a part of Reich territory by the outbreak of hostilities at the latest. The political leaders consider it their task in this case to isolate Poland if possible, that is to say , to limit the war to Poland only.
The Wehrmacht had to be ready to carry out Fall Weiss at any time after 1 September 1939.
Ah, sometimes it's fun to sit back and watch a good, old-fashioned 'battle of wits with an unarmed man'.
