Hi guys,
ever wondered why the Polish national anthem's called "Poland Has
Not Yet Perished"? Well, it's because Polish history has this
knack of producing pretty dire situations in which you need an
upbeat song to rallye the nation. Far from home, I dare say Polish
soldiers are currently in need of a hearty song. For in a matter
of two years, the territory governed by Poles has shrunk to but a
third of the realm's former size. In any case, Poland has
recovered from worse throughout its history, so who knows what the
future might hold...?
Elsewhere, it appears that the Spanish Civil War has been finally
decided. The Republicans now control all of Spain and have been
recognised as the legitimate Spanish government by most
governments. This means that Spain's diplomatic clout has
considerably increased (i.e. there are no DP restrictions on
Republican DPs going forward).
If the Nationalist press organs are to believed, we're about to
see Nationalist volunteers in the East (much as was historically
the case in WW2). See the below press submission.
Furthermore, another BGI three-way draw proposal has been put on
the table. Get your votes in, gentlemen.
Sorry for keeping you waiting for the adjucation. Adjustments are
due tomorrow, 6 PM CET.
Cheers,
Charles

Spaniards! ?The time has come for this senseless struggle and
perpetual fear to end. ?We Nationalists and Republicans find
our beliefs to be incompatible, and it leads us to war. ?But
no more! ?Spain must be whole, and the Republican forces have
proven that they have the courage and wisdom to govern fair
Iberia. We of the Nationalist cause have chosen to undertake a
new mission: ?Aided by our Italian allies, we will undertake a
pilgrimage to reclaim and rebuild the holy Eastern Roman
capital of Constantinople! ?There we will create, as our
forefathers did in the age before the reconquest, a joint
Christian-Islamic society that will be the envy of the world!
To Constantinople, my brothers and sisters!
To?Constantinople!"
