Germans Planned to Refuse Treaty and Invite Poland
The Danzig Tageblatt dispatch from Berlin reports that Philip Scheidemann's government planned to refuse the peace treaty and let Allied troops advance to the Elbe to be attacked by German forces. A secret plan sought a separate northeastern German state, but infighting derailed it. The conspirators even proposed uniting with Poland to form an independent republic, a move Poland rejected noting it had not been offered a decade earlier.
