BI-MONTHLY B 20435 V THE GUARDIAN OF LIBERTY (NEMZETŐR) Vol. XXVI JULY-AUGUST, 1982 "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion" Article 18 Universal Declaration of Human Rights ’’Polish Uniform“ Report Hotly Denied H ussian diplomats in Western Europe were recently quoted in the Press as having „hotly“ and „indignantly“ denied a samizdat report which alleged that some Soviet troops stationed in the Ukraine had been provided with Polish army uniforms. The report, privately circulated in the USSR before reaching Western Europe, claimed that motorised Soviet units „dressed in the uniforms of the Polish army“ had been stationed in the autumn of 1981 in Ternopol, Ivan-Franko and other regions of the Ukraine near the Polish border. The samizdat document added that the Soviet soldiers were being taught to obey orders given in the Polish language. (Millions of people in the USSR’s western border areas already speak Polish. They are inhab­itants of what was Poland until the Soviet Union’s frontiers were moved westwards in accordance with Stalin’s idiosyncratic inter­pretation of the 1945 Yalta Agreement. In consequence, the USSR gained about 181,000 square kilometres of Polish territory, in­habited by more than 12,770,000 people.) The report also alleged that a factory in Vilkavishkis, in the Lithuanian Soviet So­cialist Republic, had begun making Polish army uniforms. Any accurate confirmation or denial of these claims would, of course, depend on the Kremlin allowing impartial people from out­side Soviet bloc to make thorough on-the­­spot inquiries in the Ukraine and Lithuania. If proved to be true, the report would make nonsense of the Soviet authorities’ often-repeated assertion that the imposition of martial law in „fraternal“ Poland on December 13, 1981, and subsequent actions by the Polish communist military regime were the result of decisions made solely by the Poles themselves. This assertion was first publicised by Tass, the Soviet Government news agency, Footnote: The Second World War began in September, 1939, after the Nazi Germans had staged incidents which involved dressing a group of convicted criminals in Polish army uniforms. Hitler’s aim was to give the world’s Press the false impression that the Poles had committed unprovoked, acts of war against Germany. This, he hoped, would be a plausible pretext for his own subsequent invasion of Poland. The incidents occurred on August 31. The on December 14. It said in a commentary on the Polish generals’ actions during the previous day: „All these steps taken in Poland are, of course, its internal affair...“ This military coup d’état in Warsaw occurred in the winter, that is after the alleged provision in the autumn of Polish uniforms for some Soviet troops in the Ukraine. „Poles“ — convicts chosen by the Gestapo — were reported by the Hitler regime as hav­ing been killed when attacking German troops, In reality, they had been given fatal injections and gunshot wounds by the Nazis. The most notorious of the incidents was the „raid“ on the Gleiwitz radio station, near the Polish border. The Nazis placed a dead convict on the ground beside the entrance to the building, and they themselves broad­cast an inflammatory speech in Polish. ss so Map shows Third World within SS-20s Range (See article on page 2).
