tolerate a foreign corridor through Its territory so why should Germany Germany Germany Ger Ger- many The argument it was said In informed quarters was designed to appeal to the French sense of logic lagle for which Hitler frequently has expressed admiration The demands on Poland definitely definitely definitely were increased because Hitler had been on record before only for a corridor through the a corridors a strip of territory to connect Germany with Danzig and the isolated province of East Prussia Prussia sia Now Polands Poland's right to a corridor to the Baltic sea is conceded no longer The comment about Macedonian Macedonian Macedonian Mace donian conditions farther south was regarded as a hint other claims might be taken up in the future Made Offer The fuehrer argued he was lenIent lenient leni lenI- ent with Poland I have made an offer to the Polish government which shocked the German people he said Nobody Nobody Nobody No body but myself could even dare to go before the public with such an offer It could therefore be made only once I am deeply convinced that If especially England at that time had Instead of starting a wild campaign against Germany in the press

Dala- Dala dier As already observed I see no possibility for us on our part to exert influence in the direction of reasonableness upon Poland for correcting a situation that is unbearable unbearable
