Hardly. In the eyes of many germans Poland was simply a ... pardon the term ... bastard state which existed solely by the grace of the Entente and which contained areas many germans considered ur-german. And this wasn't just the opinion of the right-wing extremists but many conservative and even center to left-leaning ones. Or should I remind you that it was the Entente who declared that Upper Silesia was to be given to Poland despite a 59,4% pro-german vote in a plebiscite in 1922 (a remarkable vote given that many non-german nationals seem to have voted for Germany, too)?
