Source D A Foreign Office Official comments on the new found relationship between Germany and Russia. (The Treaty of Rapallo was signed on 16 April 1922). Just three years have passed since the German Foreign Minister, Wather Rathenau, and the Russian People’s Commissar, Chicherin, concluded at Rapallo the now famous treaty which purified the atmosphere … Between Germany and Russia and agreed on co-operation between the two peoples in the laborious business of political and economic reconstruction. Just three years – and the ‘Rapallo-line’ is now surely a basic component of the political creed of both countries. No German political party could - in spite of criticism of and reservations about individual details - determine upon any other policy. (Herbert von Dirksen, May 1925, found in Hitorisches Lesebuch 1914 –1933, 1968) Source E In September 1922 von Seeckt comments on Germany’s borders in the east. Poland’s existence is intolerable, incompatible with the survival of Germany. It must disappear, and it will disappear through its own internal weakness and through Russia - with our assistance … With Poland falls one of the strongest pillars of the Treaty of Versailles, the preponderance of France … The re-establishment of the broad common frontier between Russia and Germany is the precondition for the regaining of strength of both countries … In all these enterprises, which to a large extent are only beginning, the participation and even the official knowledge of the German government must be entirely excluded. The details of the negotiations must remain in the hands of the military authorities. Source F Declaration of the Reparations Commission, 26 December 1922. On 20 October 1922, the French Delegation requested the Commission to declare Germany in default as regards her obligation to furnish timber to France during 1922. Under the above order all sawn timber should have been delivered to France before 30 September, and the 200,000 telegraph poles before 30 November 1922. On the latter date, the deliveries were still considerably in arrears. Source G From a letter by General J. H. Morgan, British Military representative on the Inter-Allied Council, 20 February, 1925. Everything that an ingenious brain could devise and a subtle intellect invent, down even to giving companies of infantry of the new army the numbers and badges of the old, has been done to ensure that, at the touch of a button, the new army shall expand to the full stature of its predecessor. The proofs in my possession are overwhelming. Your government tells us repeatedly that our work is done and that there is nothing left for us to find out. They tell us the Treaty of Versailles has been loyally executed. History: Germany: Versailles to the Outbreak of World War II - 1918-1939 (AH) 57
Source H Article 1 of the Treaty of Mutual Guarantee, Locarno, 16 October 1925. The high contracting parties collectively and severally guarantee … The maintenance of the territorial status quo resulting from the frontiers between Germany and Belgium, and between Germany and France, and the inviolability of the said frontiers as fixed by or in pursuance of the Treaty of Peace signed at Versailles on the 28 th June, 1919, and also the observance of the stipulations of Article 42 and 43 of the said treaty concerning the demilitarised zone. Source I Gustav Stressemann outlines some of his foreign policy aims in a letter to the ex- Crown Prince on 7 September 1925. In my opinion there are three great tasks that confront German foreign policy in the more immediate future - In the first place the solution of the Reparations question in a sense tolerable for Germany, and the assurance of peace, which is an essential premise for the recovery of our strength. Secondly, the protection of Germans abroad, those 10 to 12 millions of our kindred who now live under a foreign yoke in foreign lands. The third great task is the readjustment of our eastern frontiers; the recovery of Danzig, the Polish corridor, and a correction of the frontier in Upper Silesia ... The most important thing for the first task of German policy mentioned above is, the liberation of German soil from any occupying force. We must get the stranglehold off our neck. Source J Germany becomes a member of the League of Nations on 8 September 1926. More than six years have passed since the League was founded. A long period of development was thus necessary before the general political situation made it possible for Germany to enter the league, and even in the present year great difficulties have had to be overcome … Even before her entry, Germany tried to promote friendly Cupertino. The action she took led to the Locarno pact and arbitration treaties with her neighbours. The German government is resolved to persevere with this policy and is glad to see that these ideas, which at first met with lively opposition in Germany, are now being more and more accepted.
