Kwestia niemiecka w publicystyce emigracyjnej Ligi Niepodległości Polski po II wojnie światowej
The German Issue in the Journalism of the Polish Independence League after World War II

Summary/Abstract: The Polish Independence League (PIL) was a political representation of Piłsudski’s followers in exile. The article presents the position of the PIL regarding the German issue after World War II. Michał Grażyński was the most outstanding expert on German issues in the ranks of Piłsudski's followers. Before World War II, he was a long-term voivode of Silesia and a well-known politician, publicist and the president of the PIL in exile. Piłsudski’s followers repeatedly demanded that Western governments recognise the border on the Odra and Nysa Łużycka Rivers. They advocated that the western territories belong to Poland by referring to security considerations and using economic and historical arguments. After two German states were created, they warned against West German revisionism and remilitarisation. They also pointed to the threat of the renewal of German-Russian (Soviet) cooperation. They combined the solution of the German problem with the liberation of Central and Eastern European nations from the domination of the Soviet Union.
