Battle of the Third Reich

The border between the Soviet Union and Germany in the European part is very clear, and there is no territorial dispute between the two countries.

It's actually very simple to say. Most of this border line traverses Polish territory, and the splitting agreement usually does not leave many holes for both parties.

Many people do not know that this dividing line that cuts Poland in half was actually proposed by an Englishman first.

After the end of the First World War, with the support of the Allies, Poland regained its status as an independent country.

Don’t think that the Allies are presiding over “justice”. That dirty war has nothing to do with the word from beginning to end.

The independence of Polish territory will only hit three old empire, that is, Prussia, Austria-Hungary and Tsarist Russia. Originally, Tsarist Russia belonged to the Allies, so as long as Nicholas II is still in power, the so-called Polish issue should not be put on the agenda of the Paris Peace Conference. The problem is that the Romanov dynasty has been overthrown, and the family of the Russian tsar was killed. At this time, the Soviet government holding the red flag is in control.

As a result, Poland became a bridgehead for Western countries to resist the expansion of the Red Soviet to Europe, and the Second Republic of Poland, which thought it was supported by the Allies, quickly expanded its nationalist forces, and the Polish elites were no longer satisfied with obtaining an independent country. Their identity, they also wanted to regain the glory that their ancestors had lost.

They really had to admire the ambitions of the Poles. Not only did they want to restore the territory they once ruled in Polish history, they even had to attempt to establish a Polish Federation across the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea.

Taking advantage of the weakness and chaos at the beginning of the founding of the Red Soviet, Poland challenged the nascent Soviet Union, and the Polish army crossed the border of western Russia that had been blurred because of World War I.

The Polish army, which initially received a lot of military foreign aid, progressed rapidly. Some big Polish soldiers were invincible. They quickly occupied large areas of Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus, and even once occupied Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.

Because the main force of the Soviet Red Army was pinned by the domestic Belarusian resistance movement, the Red Army had always been in a disadvantageous position in the comparison of the strength of the Western Front. However, when the Belarusian armed forces were completely annihilated, the Red Army immediately shifted its strategic focus to the Western Front, and the Polish breezy Poles began to suffer.

In the magnificent Battle of Kiev, the First Cavalry Corps commanded by Xie Miao Bujonni shined, and the Pau Ukrainian army corpses spread across the field. Sublime status in the sequence.

At the same time, the Soviet government launched a propaganda offensive in the country, using the Russian feuds of all ethnic groups against the Poles, calling on all classes in the country to abandon the contradictions in political ideas. All Russians should defend their sacred home together with the enemy.

Let’s not talk about the crimes that the Polish army committed against Slavic civilians in the war. The reputation of the Polish people has been unfavorable as early as the Tsarist era. If you fight the Germans and Russians, you may hesitate. The Polish people do not need the government at all. Struggling to mobilize.

Even a large number of Belarusian troops scattered in the country after the failure of the civil war, after hearing the government's appeal, resolutely joined the Red Army, asking their superiors to give them a chance to fight the despicable Polish bastards.

Once the fighting nation is in a state of bloodthirst, how can the Polish body be able to bear it.

The Soviet Red Army launched a comprehensive counterattack on a front line of hundreds of kilometers. Although Poland has a weak advantage in terms of military strength, neither morale nor combat effectiveness can be compared with those of the Red Army’s centuries-old veterans. After being beaten back and forth, he not only lost all the land he had occupied before, but also the Red Army who was defeated and counterattacked into his own hinterland. The soldiers even pointed directly at the capital Warsaw City.

Seeing that Poland, which was born only a few years ago, is about to die again, it seems that the League of Nations, which has disappeared for a long time, finally stands out and calls for "peace" in the world.

At that time, the British Prime Minister was the famous David Lloyd George. He was very disgusted with the previous behavior of the Poles. At the same time, considering the rising public opinion of the left-wing movement in the UK, he refused to provide any form of support to the Polish government.

While Curzon, the then British Foreign Minister, was a famous right-wing politician, an ally of Winston Churchill, a standard colonialist, he advocated that Britain should provide limited support to Poland to stop the Red Movement in Europe Spread.

However, as mentioned earlier, the left-wing movement in Europe was at its most active period at the time. The dock workers in Germany and the Czech Republic even refused to load and unload the military supplies to Poland. The entire Europe seemed to have abandoned Poland.

It was in this situation that Kou Song proposed a military ceasefire line, suggesting that both sides of the Subo temporarily use this as a temporary border. The two sides sat down and negotiated, and finally decided on a mediation plan acceptable to both parties. At the same time, Curzon threatened that if the Soviet Union ignored the British mediation and continued to attack and cross the ceasefire line, then Britain would cut off all trade with the Soviet Union.

This kind of threat from the outside world is obviously intimidating the real Bolsheviks. The Soviet government, which is in the upper hand of the war, rejected the proposal of the League of Nations and continued to mobilize its troops to march to Warsaw in preparation for the liberation of the "Polish proletariat oppressed by capitalists."

However, due to various strategic and tactical reasons, such as misjudgment of the current situation by senior leaders, underestimation of the military strategy, Poland and France signed a military alliance and received a lot of material support, and the communication system between the Red Army’s troops was chaotic. Contradictions between commanders at all levels and so on, and ultimately the Red Army suffered a defeat under Warsaw City. Not only did the personnel and equipment suffered heavy losses, but the morale of the troops was also severely affected.

The Polish army, which had taken a breather and carried out a national mobilization. After acquiring a large number of French weapons, instead of declining combat effectiveness, it became stronger than before the war.

In the face of this change, the Soviet Union was replaced by the Soviet Union on the battlefield, and soon the front was pushed back to Russia. Poland re-occupied the territory they had previously captured, and almost consumed it in the war. After the Soviet power that Tsarist Russia accumulated, they eventually had to propose a truce to Poland.

At this time, Poland was also at the end of the crossbow. Both its financial resources and military resources had reached the limit that the country could bear. Retaining some of the results in exchange for the end of the war became an acceptable choice.

Poland seized a large area of ​​territory that originally belonged to Belarus, Lithuania, and Ukraine. The Soviet Union admitted its defeat and established a new border with Poland.

Some scholars say that this war determines the direction of European history in the next two decades. Soviet leaders abandoned the attempt to set off a revolutionary wave in Europe and shifted their focus from external expansion to internal affairs. Polish ambitions became Even more inflated, he began to provoke the two incomparably powerful enemies around him, and laid the bane for their destruction two decades later.

The Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers captured in the war were consciously abused by the Polish army because of the lack of accurate records at the time, and the number of deaths on the research data ranged from 40,000 to 80,000 people, although the number of researchers in later generations was There are differences, but no one can deny the existence of such war crimes.

Moreover, in the occupied Soviet territories, the Poles and the puppet troops of various places imposed chilling atrocities on civilians biased towards the Soviets, and their brutality even exceeded that of the Japanese 20 years later.

Eventually after the division of Poland between the two countries, the **** massacre was staged secretly in the Katyn Forest, and the victims became surrendering Polish officers. Stalin's revenge was fierce and thorough, directly cutting off the foundation of the Polish elite. If calculated from the age, those senior officers over 40 years old are likely to directly participate in the atrocities of the year. It seems that there is a hand in the underworld and a circle is drawn in the course of history.

Although the Soviet-Polish War ended in Poland's victory, the Cousson line did not disappear in the world. When Germany and the Soviet Union planned to divide Poland, the Cousson line became a border acceptable to both sides.

The Soviet Union not only recaptured the territories occupied by Poland, but also returned to the ceasefire line they had reached 20 years ago. On the contrary, the Nazi Germany, which was the main force to destroy Poland, naturally annexed the remaining half, leaving the Polish people aside, This is indeed a fairly fair share plan.

Of course, this border division cannot copy the Kou Song line of the year, because of the difference in the composition of the residents in the territory, some minor changes have been made in the middle, but in the general direction, this boundary line is almost copied.

At the moment, both sides of the Soviet Union and Germany near this border are stepping up the construction of various permanent or semi-permanent fortress positions. At the same time, a secret war mainly infiltrating and reverse infiltrating is also in full swing on this border line.
