𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝟏𝟗𝟑𝟗 After the treaties of Versailles and St Germain were signed on June 28 1919, the German territories of Memel, East Prussia, Danzig, West Prussia, Posen, Pomerania, East Brandenburg, Breslau and Silesia were ceded off to the then freshly set up satellite state of Poland which answered to the Entente (France and Britain). Despite this seizure of German land which Poles arrogantly thought they had a claim to, ethnic Germans still remained as a majority of the population within these areas where the common language was German along with the culture. The cessation of land to the satellite state of Poland was an economic, political and racial punishment towards the German people, impoverishing millions and displacing many from their own homeland. For the next twenty years this heartless decision by the Entente would cause skirmishes and ethnic tensions between the German majority and the Polish minority of the areas mentioned above including most famously the Silesia Uprisings of 1921 and skirmishes later on. At the exact same time, the satellite state of Poland set up by the Entente in 1919 became the largest Jewish state by population in Europe, housing 3.1 million Ashkenazi Jews in 1930 which created an extensive Jewish underclass that could easily takeover key financial, political and military positions in such a short period of time. These Jews conglomerated into one area in central Europe due to the numerous expulsions from the previous centuries. Up until his death in May 1935, Adolf Hitler had a good relationship with Polish Marshall Józef Piłsudski and the Polish state despite the ethnic tensions. Hitler sought to calm and peacefully workout the territorial disputes between ethnic Poles and Germans. Hitler requested a super highway that connected Berlin to Königsberg with Danzig serving as its own autonomous city state and Hitler even wanted Poland as an ally against the Soviet Union. On November 23 1934 Arthur Greiser became the president of the Free City of Danzig putting the territory under German control and NSDAP leadership by popular vote despite the state's neutrality on paper. Until his death, Józef Piłsudski was content with the will of the city's people and did not see the election of an NSDAP member as a threat to Poland, likely due to his nationalist leanings. The Polish military under the direction of Marshall Edward Śmigły-Rydz who became the Marshall of Poland after Piłsudski's death became increasingly hostile to the NSDAP, German populace and the City of Danzig for the German control of the 1934 election. After Piłsudski's death, relations and tensions began to worsen. Edward Śmigły-Rydz was a Polish expansionist, war mongerer, Bolshevist, and Germanophobe who wanted to expand Polish territories east of Berlin and revive the retired Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth and sought a military alliance with the Soviet Union. In the early months of 1939, after the Sudetenland crises had settled, Smigly began a plethora of scorched earth policies towards the German territories mentioned above, in an act to ethnically cleanse the entire eastern corridor of what had become Poland. German farmers were arrested and persecuted without due process, German families were forced at gunpoint to learn the Polish language and abandoned German dialects. Germans were shot, tortured, raped, and beaten, and their farms, churches, and villages were destroyed by Polish garrisons under Smigly. The Free City of Danzig was relentlessly targeted by Polish garrisons, bombarded and terrorized to no end. Germans in the city of Danzig had to set up barbwire barricades and faced barrages of attacks from Polish ships from the harbor. According to documents from German high command, these scorched earth policies began as early as January 1939 and the main territories of the Reich were not alerted until mid-August 1939 [Check reposts for add information]

Dear Europeans, stop writing the date in DD/MM/YYYY format. It's dumb and I hate it. MM/DD/YYYY is supreme.
