True enough. They put it in glasses. If they want to drink milk, they drink milk. Putting milk into tea is like buying a mongrel and saying that you have a German Shepherd and a Collie ;)

Do they?
Russians would likely have the right to do that, but most Poles simply drink tea when they fell like tea, and they drink milk when they fell like milk.

Btw. with all the richness of tea with milk drinking experience, does English have a singe word for "tea with milk". Polish does. The word is bawarka.

And if they want to drink milk with some tea in it?

Harry:
"At one minute after noon on 3 September 1939 a Blenheim piloted by Fg Off A McPherson took off on a reconnaissance mission to Wilhelmshaven."

So how different was that from, let's say, picking the phone and calling the British Embassy in Warsaw and asking "hey, so wuzzup?"

Well for one thing the German fleet could not be seen from the British embassy in Warsaw, but it can be seen from the air over Wilhelmshaven. McPherson was looking for targets for a bombing raid.

McPherson was looking for targets for a bombing raid.

Why?
All those were described in some detail in most European newspapers. Germans have been building up their forces for years prior to Sept. 1. 1939. Don't tell me the British were surprised.

Leon Degrelle on Germany & Poland - Danzig issue
OP joepilsudski 26 | 1,389

To amplify your post: some words from Degrelle:

In January 1939 Hitler had proposed to Beck, the Polish leader, a compromise to solve the Danzig issue: The Danziger's vote to return to Germany would be honored and Poland would continue to have free port access and facilities, guaranteed by treaty.

The prevailing notion of the day that every country must have a sea port really does not make sense. Switzerland, Hungary and other countries with no sea ports manage quite well. Hitler's proposals were based on the principles of self-determination and reciprocity. Even Churchill admitted that such a solution could dispose of the Danzig problem. This admission, however, did not prevent him to sent an ultimatum to Germany: withdrawal from Poland or war. The world has recently seen what happened when Israel invaded Lebanon. Heavily populated cities like Tyre and Sidon were destroyed and so was West Beirut. Everybody called for Israel's withdrawal but no one declared war on Israel when it refused to budge.
