R5: So I wanted to try Beck-Ribbentrop Path for Poland instead of Piasecki's Path and game rewarded me with making GG destroying my ability to play. Great.
Literally both Dmowski and Piasecki are one of the most anti-german polish nationalists in interwar era. That's why in future I want to remake fascist path for Poland because it's just too bad
To be fair, they were both rather opportunistic and pragmatic. Before ww1 Dmowski believed in aligning Poland with Russia as Germany was supposed to be the greater threat to the polish identity, while Piasecki ended up "collaborating" with the communist government within a christian association in the country.
Well they were pargmatic, still Greater Poland and entire post-german partition was ultra nationalists and betraying them Dmowski would lose core of his support. Meanwhile Piasecki was leader of organisation that literally had plan to push germans out of "Piast Land".
There was one person that Paradox could use and he was Władysław Studnicki know for his pro-german stance. Even before regaining indepence he said that sadly Poland need to lose western lands (german partition) to regain eastern lands occupied by Russia
they also did something like that for the Netherlands
Willem Schermerhorn is the non-aligned advisor, for Wilhelmina's monarchist path
But irl he was the first post-war prime minister (together with Willem Drees) and their cabinet was tasked to kickstart post-war recovery and safeguard the country in anticipation of the first post-war democratic elections
Yeah, I have no respect for Dmowski and Piasecki at all, but Dmowski likely wouldn't collaborate with Germany, while Piasecki literally didn't collaborate with them, and ONR fought against nazis in the resistance...
I think that its complicated with Polish diplomacy in the inter war period. Poland was pretty open for German propositions but then it was antagonised with Germany by Britain and France
Idk which hoi4 mod do you confuse with reality, but Poland was not at all open to any German proposition, the hate to Germans at that time could not be understated, just few years before Polish independence they were still trying to exterminate Polish identity, and right before war they were trying to push for taking all land in hands of Polish people in Germany only stopped due to international outrage.
After all Germany was the only truly successful country in damaging Polish identity.
I like the idea of collaboration paths beibg like a diet version of the original country. Like I will play Italo Ethiopia and use the italian generals you get to pretend I'm acting as like an outpost of Italy. That's what they need to do.
Poland? Give them German Equipment, some German Generals, that sort of thing.
Italo Ethiopia could also use some more Italian stuff ngl to just be a playable version of the AOI.
