Elusive Alliance: The German Occupation of Poland in World War 1

The German Occupation Regime in Poland was called "The Imperial Government General of Warsaw". The theory was that in the vision for Central Europe, Poland would become Germany's permanent ally, culturally and politically autonomous but bound to Germany in foreign policy matters. In practice, the reaction of the Poles to these plans led to complete hostility and resistance. This is a fascinating story of a very neglected area in the study of the war.
