I was in H.S. at the time when General Jaruzelski declared Martial Law. I remember the German teacher at my H.S. Her long with one other teacher were big supporters of socialism/communism and the German teacher made the remark that the Polish people got out of line and mentioned the gov’t had a right to impose Marital Law. Pretty astounding statement even to this day and especially then ! Especially living in a free country and the lines were definite between freedom and communism were very clear.
> That time, Moscow abandoned any plans of military invasion of Poland and told Jaruzelski to do that with his own army.
