15 июл 1917 г. - Polish Memorandum

Описание:

In July 1917, the German Supreme Command under General Erich Ludendorff issued a memorandum outlining their intentions. Germany would hold a “border strip” of approximately 20,000 square kilometers from Poland, expel the existing Polish inhabitants, and resettling the area with ethnic Germans. Poles living in Germany itself or other German-occupied areas were also to be encouraged to move to the new Kingdom of Poland. This policy was detested in Poland, not only for the obvious reason of their so-called liberators annexing a part of their nation, but also because the ban on Polish workers inside the "German-administrated areas" led to enormous upheaval in the traditionally intertwined economies.
