The Polish Embassy in Washington, D.C. blames Tucker Carlson for distorting the truth about Nazi Germany's 1939 invasion of Poland and justifying it:

"I am angry about the false and alarming statements you made regarding the outbreak of World War II during your recent conversation with Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.

You justified Nazi Germany's 1939 invasion of Poland by claiming that 'Hitler said 15% of Poland was once Germany and it was given to Poland in the Treaty of Versailles. This was German territory and there were Germans there.'

This statement is a huge insult to millions of victims of Nazism, including hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who were killed or wounded while liberating Europe from occupation by the Third Reich.

Furthermore, your remark that 'Britain had nothing to do with it at all' is also far from historical truth. The declaration of war on Germany by Britain and France was not just a political duty of the allies.

Had London and Paris not declared war on the Third Reich, they would have been attacked anyway.

Hitler was driven by the idea to conquer the world and destroy all democratic countries.

As an American journalist who enjoys the democratic right to freedom of speech, you have now become an apologist for Adolf Hitler.

By doing so, you are resorting to lies, and completely falsifying the documented historical record.

Therefore, allow me to remind you of the indisputable facts.

Nazi Germany's attack on Poland on September 1, 1939, was a carefully planned and brutal war of aggression.

Hitler's goal was the complete destruction of the Polish state and the physical annihilation of its population, followed by the continued bloody conquest of the world. Hitler acted in cooperation with another totalitarian criminal, Joseph Stalin.

Together they planned the so-called fourth partition of Poland, set in the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which paved the way for the tragedy of millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe, including the almost complete annihilation of Europe's Jewish population.

I demand that you immediately and publicly retract and apologize for these deceitful and disgraceful statements.

Nazi propaganda cannot be rehabilitated under the guise of freedom of speech, nor should freedom of speech be used to desecrate the memory of the victims of World War II.

History must not be distorted. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
