German Polish plebiscite in Silesia cited widespread German support
Berlin reports show 60 to 70 percent of Upper Silesia voters favored German rule, with strong German majorities in key towns like Konigshutte and Myslowitz. London dispatches note regional splits, with western lines leaning German and eastern areas favoring Poland, while South Silesia mostly backed Poland. Initial celebrations overshadowed later disappointment over the German majority being smaller than expected.
