Английская делегация 4 мая 1939 г. на совещании представителей генеральных штабов представила французам свое заключение о быстром падении Польши.

On the 8th February 1939 the British Cabinet
reluctantly accepted the need to open staff talks with the French.

The issues of Poland and Rumania, and the possible advantages to
be obtained from their participation in a war against Germany were
discussed by the two delegations on 26 April and on 4 May the
British delegation presented a report summarising the conclusions
reached after the two reports had been analysed. This, based
primarily on the points stated by the French, stressed two important
issues that were regarded as vital in assessing the position of Poland
in any impending conflict with Germany. It was accepted that no
effort could be made to defend Poland itself as it was assumed that
she would collapse in the early stages of fighting. Secondly, any
advantages to be secured by Britain and France appeared to be confined
to gaining time 'to build a strong position in the west and
possibly take the offensive'.
