	Axis History Forum :: View topic - POWs in the Soviet-Polish War 1919-20
		I wonder where were Soviet POW`s kept at during the war, as we know Polish forces before battle around Radzymin and "Vistula miracle" retreated rapidly, litterally dozens of camps could be liberated by Soviets.
		However this probably includes also Polish prisoners taken on the fronts of the Russian Civil War (there were Polish units in the Russian White armies) and also civilians of Polish origin who were imprisoned.
		The conditions in the Polish camps were insufferable (he refers to the report of the American Union of the Christian Youth).

		For these reasons, this war should be considered one of the most important of the 20th century, no less so than the defeat of the Turks at the gates of Vienna by Sobieski several hundred years earlier.
		At the time of this war - according to the philosophy esposed by Marx (and to a certain extent Hegel), the founder of the doctrine - world revolution was an essential requirement for its success.
		It is quite likely that this war prevented the imposition of Communism throughout Central Europe or if not, at the very least it prevented another war to decide the issue.

	Paradox Interactive Forums - Eastern Crusade
		The Luftwaffe and, at times, the Polish airforce were used closely in conjunction with land forces to interdict retreating and encircled Soviet troops.
		The Soviet surface navy ceased to be a threat, and their vast submarine force remained a barely noticeable threat to German convoys in the Baltic.
		That would be crucial in any war with the West, as Germany utterly neglected the development of its naval forces, pouring most of its resources into the largest airforce on the planet.

	Fred Hall: War of Intervention (1973)
		The civil war and the intervention of 14 foreign armies against the infant Soviet republic changed the whole course of the Russian Revolution.
		There is a corresponding weakness in the treatment of the war as it appeared to the respective senior commanders and their governments.
		The intervention turned crisis into catastrophe, shattered the already feeble industrial base of the revolution, strangled soviet democracy and forced the Soviet government to subordinate the whole economic life of the country to a struggle for bare survival.
