And there's me thinking the Poles fought to kill Germans when all along it was to preserve the British Empire.
Put yourself in the position of Britain in 1945. Stretched, tired, broke and with an empire in tatters. Then look at what they'd have to face to contest Poland by force.
Betrayal, no. Invasion by an unstoppable force, certainly. There's a whole world of difference between turning your back or just accepting what has happened because the costs of doing something are too high.
I reckon the Soviets could have driven their tanks up Pall Mall quite quickly if they'd wanted to.
