France and Britain were like "we can't be punished for breaking our treaty with Poland if there's no Poland..."

[@fanta4897]

''Poland had a feeling they were betrayed by their western allies.''

[@hannibalbarca4372]

Hey kids,never sign alliance treaty with France or UK.

The following represents the meaning of the colors of the Polish flag:

France fell so fast that a historian has to repeat the same content twice to fit the 10-minute monetisation.

[@joebombero1]

I have had several Polish friends remind me of this at different times in my life. I think they really teach this in Poland.

[@Spongebrain97]

There's a scene in the film The Pianist that I think really highlights how the Poles were feeling in this situation. Germany had just invaded and a family is sitting around the radio and listen to the broadcaster say " Britian and France have now just declared war on Germany. Poland is no longer alone". The family then celebrates and has a toast for the allies but it immediately jumps to when the Germans had already occupied their city and all hope in the allies is lost

Politicians have two things in common...ONE; they never remember their promises. TWO; They...uh... can't remember the other thing.

Reporter: So Herr Hitler, what occupation do you have?

[@paweandonisgawralidisdobrz2522]

Poland: are you guys gonna help?

[@marcin7054]

Best part of it is that we (im from Poland) dont have anything against allies not declaring war on USSR. Allies didnt even helped us with Germans, they were passive at their borders (probably thats why Stalin gave us 19 days more to defend, he was afraid to declare war on France and britain by this move.)

[@klmn48]

For the same reason that America is fighting all over the world for human right but is the best friend of Saudi Arabia.

[@abdulwasilabib16]

britain and france:we will protect you

[@redacted3557]

Poland: *dying” Help me guys.

[@seb9995]

I mean, it was pretty clear from day one that it never was about protecting polish independance but just to prevent germany from growing too strong

[@Starlesslemon]

Thinking Hitler and Stalin could have had a stronger alliance shows a fundamental misunderstanding of both "men".

[@Sean-kd5vs]

Last time I was this early, USSR still existed.

[@j_x5058]

Noted: don’t be allied to the British and French

[@nordland2235]

The Katyn forest massacre was a series of mass executions of nearly 22,000 Polish military officers and intelligentsia carried out by the Soviet Union, specifically the NKVD in April and May 1940.

Britain to Poland: We don’t want to get our asses kicked by two opponents in Poland. We’ll wait a few months and get our asses kicked by one opponent in Belgium and France.
