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)?
The fact that the decided borders were enough to cause problems later on is what matters. I think you agree anyway, you are also saying that the inhabitants didn't want it, but since they where on the losing side then they don't get to decide anyway, especially by opinion polls conducted years after the borders are drawn.

I would have though the corridor to the coast was more of a thorn to Germany than former Austrian territories in the south though.
