In the matter of only few weeks, the tone and focus of what the United Nations governments and military write has shifted to looking towards victory, and what will happen after that victory. It\u2019s subtle, but clear &mdash; they have switched gears and are champing at the bit to move in for the kill. Likewise, the German Nazis are issuing a mess of hand wringing, vagaries, and empty phrases.<\/p>\n<p>With 20:20 hindsight we of course know that both are a bit removed from what will happen. As Moltke the Elder famously said: &#8220;No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first encounter with the main enemy forces.&#8221; The next sentences in his 1871 essay on strategy is pertinent to our work here at TimeGhost; &#8220;Only the layman believes that in the course of a campaign, he sees the consistent implementation of an original thought that has been considered in advance in every detail and retained to the end.&#8221; The truth contained in this is what makes our format so exciting to work with &mdash; when you lay out the events in the order they happened, without skipping ahead, or abbreviating, you see it in a perspective more true to how the people at the time experienced it.<\/p>\n<p>For me the reaction of the Polish Government in Exile to the Red Army advance into Poland this week does exactly that; it blunts the shock of the betrayal that is going to happen at Warsaw later this year, and instead exposes the terrible, long-drawn anxiety that led to what can only then be described as the confirmation of fears harbored for many months, perhaps years. I look forward to discovering this war in a new light together with all of you in this new year.<\/p>\n<p>Happy New 2023\/1944 &#8211; never forget!<\/p>\n<p>Spartacus <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-79133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot-2023-01-06-at-15-40-22-Will-Stalin-Liberate-or-Occupy-Poland-\u2013-War-Against-Humanity-094-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 5 Jan 2023 The last week of 1943 is a busy one.
