And actually at this point, the Polish commanders say to their army, we need to actually get out of Poland to save the army. So they start to retreat south towards the Romanian border. The British and the French are staggered by this. So they had no inkling that it was coming. They didn't. They didn't know it was coming at all. The fabled British spy service. Has not covered itself in glory.

Do you know who really lets himself down here, Tom? Somebody who you know I don't hold in high regard. I do. This will not go down well with our Welsh listeners. It's David Lloyd George. Lloyd George had never been a friend of Poland. Going right back to the 1920s, he's basically opposed Poland at every point. And Lloyd George wrote an article in the Sunday Express, later the home of A.J.B.

Taylor, saying the Soviet Union is completely within its rights. You know, it's completely reasonable for the Soviet Union to take its historic lands in eastern Poland. I mean, I think this is really, really poor stuff from Lloyd George.

Métal Pétain, yeah. I mean, I know some people love Lloyd George, but I think he's a terrible man. Because most people in Britain were just so appalled by Stalin's behaviour. Chamberlain... talked in the comments of his horror. His assistant private secretary, Jock Colville, wrote in his diary, said it was an act of unparalleled greed and immorality.

The Soviet justification, the most revolting document in modern history. But of course, what are they going to do? The answer is nothing. If they haven't done anything against Germany, they're hardly going to intervene against the Soviet Union. So for the Poles, this is really the death knell. Their leadership flees into Romania. Later, that scene is very controversial.

You know, they're capitalists still holding out. Why have they fled to Romania? I guess they're damned if they do, damned if they don't really. So now the dictators are free to carve up Poland between them. The 19th of September, two days later, Hitler entered Danzig in triumph. Usual scenes. Yeah.

Yeah. He spent a week at a hotel, the Casino Hotel. We know that Hitler loves the hotel. Does it have a spa? Probably does have a spa. It's a seaside resort called Sopop, which is just outside Gdansk. And he took twice, took flights to Warsaw to watch the bombing of Warsaw at first hand. And he loved it.
