Polish fears rise as Upper Silesia shifts hands
In Oppeln on May 13 General Lerond and Adalbert Korfanty agreed to give Poles the greater part of Upper Silesia for now while a German counter-offensive began at Ratiber Rosenberg and Kosel. Rosenberg fell to 4000 Germans, and Polish forces faced heavy artillery. Polish Consul General Daniel Kresiyski warned communications gaps may delay word of the pact and said Poles will seek a larger administrative role and oppose the prebiscite commission. He warned that if Germans gain the upper hand there may be no Poles left in the region.
