My history knowledge focus was on how Churchill stabbed Poland in the back and sold it to USSR, so I was surprised to hear Poland has been shanked by Brits even more.

Thanks!

Oh, and it's Gdańsk, not Danzig. I pray the author never visits Poland, because if he called it that he might stay forever.
