When we look back at the way the war broke out, we may wonder, could not Germany have just done nothing for a few years? After all, Czechoslovakia and Austria, weren’t they enough? Couldn't it have just stayed that way, just left it, left the Danzig problem, just let everything calm down - couldn't it have just done nothing?

Well, let us suppose there were people who wanted war - if we suppose that - once that British war-guarantee had been given, all they had to do was intensify the persecution of Germans in that part of Poland, until Germany had to do something about it. So, here is a German view I've got - and it's difficult to get a German view on the subject, isn't it? You hardly get books translated from the German available. I got this from a website[18] - ‘The British promise to wage war against Germany, if only Poland would succeed to get Germany into the war, even by aggression’ - so Poland's rabid incitement against Germany was escalated, Polish newspapers demand the occupation of Danzig, all of East Prussia, they advocate Poland should push its border all the way to the river, maybe annexing Berlin. They felt they'd got the superior army, and this was kind of truculent behavior, and the new President of Poland said (1939) “Poland wants war with Germany, and Germany will not be able to avoid it, even if she wants to”.
