Summary/Abstract: June and July 1921 were a period when the fighting of the Third Silesian Uprising was gradually subsiding and Allied troops, including British forces, entered between the hostile sides. At the turn of May and June, these troops once again arrived in Upper Silesia from the Rhine. Accompanying them were correspondents of “The Cologne Post”, and a modest editorial office was established in Opole. From that point on, the newspaper relied less on agency reports, and its coverage of Upper Silesia was based primarily on dispatches from its own journalists. They reported not only on events “at the front”, but also offered many insightful observations on everyday life and the distinctive character of Upper Silesia, the region over which Poland and Germany were competing.
