Hitler, narodowy socjalizm i stosunki polsko-niemieckie po Machtübernahme w dyskursie II Rzeczypospolitej (subiektywny przegląd opinii i stanowisk)
Hitler, National Socialism and the Polish-German Relations after the Machtübernahme within the Discourse of the Second Republic.An Subjective Overview of the Opinions and Positions

Summary/Abstract: The article, after a brief analysis of the last few years of the political situation in Germany at the turn of the 20s and 30s of the twentieth century, peruses the reactions and opinions expressed in the pages of the Polish press in the last few weeks before Hitler took power, as well as in the early months of the Nazi regime in Germany. Some commentators believed that Hitler, because of his Austrian origin and internal conflicts, would abandon the anti-Polish revisionist policy. The anticipatory attitude was taken by the official agents headed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Józef Beck. Nevertheless, amidst the comments prevailed a conviction, formulated mainly by the national democratic environment and the Silesian Sanation, that due to the German nature, as well as raising the society in hate and Hitler’s previous declarations, the Polish-German relations will soon get exacerbated. The Polish press closely followed also the internal policy changes in the Third Reich, noticing its totalitarian direction.
