No. 282 :
M. LÉON NÖEL, French Ambassador in Warsaw, to M. Georges Bonnet, Minister for Foreign Affairs. Warsaw, August 28, 1939. 8.20 p.m.

(Received at 9.50 p.m.)

THE number of Germans residing in Poland is less than one million. It is therefore far from reaching the figure given by Herr Hitler.

I may add that in a conversation with me on that question, in 1937, the German Ambassador recognized that the number of Poles in Germany and Germans in Poland was almost the same.

LÉON NÖEL.
