Poland , 1949.

The international situation has increased the nervous tension in Poland, and problems which a year ago could wait have become urgent. With Germany next door, with the Oder-Neisse frontier not yet officially recognized by the West, with the Russian occupation troops in Germany still firmly maintaining their headquarters in Lower Silesia, Poland is more conscious of the war menace than Czechoslovakia. Some Western diplomats in Warsaw believe that the Russians will try to make friends of both Poles and Germans by compelling Poles to return some of the former German territory and giving them the city and province of Lwow in compensation.
