From Warsaw came Marshal Konstantin Rokossovsky, the Russian whom all Reds hold out to be a Pole to excuse his running the Polish Defense Ministry and, through that, Poland itself; also from Warsaw came President Boleslaw Bierut, who served as a Red quisling during the Communist-Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939. From Albania came a mere vice minister-apparently Dictator Enver Hoxha is so plagued by local resistance and an interior minister with excessive ambitions that he dared not leave Tirana...

Western authorities believe that East Germans were pressing for a return from Poland of former German territory beyond the Oder and Neisse Rivers; this sentiment smoldered underground, undermined Red rule, disturbed the Communist regimes in neighboring Poland and Czechoslovakia.
