From The Great Globe Itself, William Christian Bullitt 1946
When the Soviet Union was dependent for its life on
Lend-Lease aid, President Roosevelt, as a quid pro quo for Lend-Lease aid, could have obtained [written guarantees] from Stalin. . .
. . . he was hoodwinked into the belief that it was unnecessary for him to obtain any promises from Stalin with regard to Europe, that Stalin had no desire to incorporate in the Soviet Union portions of Europe, or to control independent European states through Soviet puppet governments, and would cooperate with him fully in creating a world of liberty, democracy and peace.
Few errors more disastrous have ever been made by a President of the United States, and those citizens of the United States who bamboozled the President into acting as if Stalin were a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson deserve a high place on an American roll of dishonor. (Etc.)
pp. 192-193
� The people of Poland [1946] are struggling, as they have always struggled, for their independence. The slaughter and enslavement of the Poles by the Soviet government and its Polish Quislings* approaches in sickening horror the butcheries of the Poles by the Nazis. From the first day of the war in 1939, the Poles fought against the Nazis with a patriotism unsurpassed in history. Their side won the war, but they achieved only new slaughters and fresh slavery. One of their allies was in reality no less their enemy than the avowed enemy against which they had struggled for years. The nations which were their friends . . .failed to save them from their avowed friend, the Soviet Union. . . .
In consequence, today {1946], while Polish patriots are being slaughtered by the Soviet puppet government of Poland, we receive in America Polish Quislings* as alleged representatives of the enslaved Polish people.

From The Decisive Battles of the Western World, J. F. C. Fuller 1956
. . . bound to Poland as the British Government was by the Anglo-Polish treaty, and faced with her partition � in which Stalin was as guilty as Hitler � Mr. Churchill should not have impulsively thrown his country into the arms of the Soviets, but should have paused until Stalin had sought his aid, and only then have proffered it on the understanding that the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact of August 23, 1939, was first annulled, and that all Polish prisoners and deported Poles in Russian hands were released.
