Poles were the first to sign a pact with Hitler in 1934, hoping to participate in the “onslaught to the east.” Five years later, in September 1939, Poland paid the price for its treachery and remained on the world map only thanks to the courage of the Red Army.

This false narrative was exposed before in 2016, 2017, 2018, February 2020, June 2020, and August 2020.
