Extract:

At the height of World War II, General Wfadyslaw Sikorski visited Dr.
Edvard Bene\u0161 at his London residence. The Polish prime minister warned
the Czechoslovak president that if the Red Army were to occupy central
Europe it would impose communist governments there. Bene\u0161 conceded that
this was so but he added that there was nothing they could do about it.
Sikorski continued pressing Bene\u0161: "Why are you so friendly with the
Soviets?" he demanded. He then invited the president to harmonize his
foreign policy with that of the democracies. Bene\u0161 replied that he was
unable to share Sikorski's confidence in the west for the simple reason
that he had experienced the horror of Munich. "What partitions of Poland
mean for the Poles, that is what Munich is for us," said Bene\u0161
forcefully.
