Poland suffered enough being positioned between Russia and Germany. Right after they got their independence in 1918 after 120 years of Russian-austrian and german division, they were attacked by russia in 1920. Up to 1930 the goverment fought wars againts Lithuania and Ukraine for borders and 1930 was the world crisis. 9 years later hitler attacked Poland and 2 weeks later Russia did too. Poland just could not resist continuous invasions and wars.

Well besides all the political pressure to "overtake" or make Britain and France allies the Germans also thought of Britain and France as strategic points in the war. So when the politics failed to overtake them Germany tried taking them with force.
Germany and Russia split Poland between them, Germany invaded Poland from Danzig and went south, Russia lined up the border and attacked the whole front at once
It was Poland before Germany settled Germans there. It was returned to Poland after WW11. It is now Charbrow/Charbrowo Poland.
Modern East Germany was Middle Germany in the past. During WWII all the borders of Poland moved westwards. So you can say that some parts of Poland were formally East Germany, but this is history. Modern East Germany and Poland are different things.
France brah
