Michael Stewart asks, June 16, 2003, why Britain did not declare war on Stalin in Sept 1939
Why did not Britain declare war on the Soviet Union in Sept 1939?

- [In full answer to the above; see letter from Martin Gwynne, July 1, 2003]

David Irving replies
... simple. There was a secret post-war clause appended to the Anglo-Polish agreement of August 1939, which said in effect "certain restrictions apply." The restriction was: this agreement shall define that the enemy referred to is Germany and no other... We ain't fools.
