"It is of utmost importance that we remove from our obligations everything that would deprive French government the freedom of decision on the day when Poland finds itself in war with Germany".
Leon Noel,
French ambassador to Poland
October 1938
"To fight alongside our Polish friends for the common defense of our territories, of our property, of our liberties, this is a perspective that one can courageously envisage, if it should contribute to maintaining the peace. But to die for Danzig, no!" (« Mais mourir pour Dantzig, non ! »)
Marcel Déat
