Britain Rules Out Peace Talks Until German Forces Leave Poland
Britain stated it will not negotiate peace with Germany while Reich forces remain in Poland. The Ministry of Information claimed most German merchant ships have been swept from the high seas or scuttled, with crews safety ensured by British warships. Britain announced a £500 million war credit as proof of resolve to crush Hitlerism, and newspapers endorsed continued war regardless of Poland’s fate. The Daily Mail warned the conflict could last two to ten years, urging a hard blow to force German capitulation. A new contraband control plan accompanied these actions, though no formal blockade was declared.
