Memoirs from the Turbulent Years and Beyond: Analysis and Consequences of the World War II Hubert Poetschke

In the Introduction, I briefly examined the war between born again Poland in 1918 after over 120 years of foreign oppression and the Bolshevik/Communist Russia in 1920. This was the first Bolshevik/Communist Russian Expansionist War.
