Poland and Czechoslovakia. Memo. By the War Office

1 Jul 1940

although the Poles and Czechs are far advanced in comparison with other countries, any rising is doomed to failure unless accompanied by major operations or a general rising in other parts of Europe. There is the probability of increasing difficulty in keeping them from spontaneous risings in Poland and Czechoslavakia, during the coming winter, for undoubtedly famine and want will drive certain groups to ill-timed activity. When dealing with this appreciation it is to be remembered that owing to the limited time between the receipt of the questionnaire and the submission of the report, there was no possibility of consultation with the Poles and Czechs to obtain their views which seems essential on this subject.
