Poland’s Top Diplomat In U.S. Labels Tucker Carlson An ‘Apologist For Adolf Hitler’

Poland’s top diplomat in the United States is labeling podcaster Tucker Carlson an “apologist for Adolf Hitler.”

Bogdan Klich, the chargé d’affaires of Poland’s Embassy in Washington, is calling on Carlson to publicly retract remarks in which he appeared to justify Nazi Germany’s 1939 invasion of Poland, calling the comments “a colossal insult to the millions of victims of Nazism.”

“Mr. Carlson, I am outraged by the false and deeply troubling statements you made regarding the outbreak of the Second World War,” Klich wrote in a Monday letter addressed to the commentator.

The remarks came during an hour-long interview with Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg, a British politician, which aired Friday on The Tucker Carlson Show. The conversation focused initially on Britain’s military preparedness and the threat posed by Russia before turning to the Second World War.

After Rees-Mogg said it would have been difficult to fight the war without innocent people being killed, Carlson replied that he had “never understood why fight the Second World War in the first place.”

Carlson went on to argue that Hitler’s claim to Polish territory had merit, saying that 15 percent of Poland had once been German and was awarded to Poland under the Treaty of Versailles. “That was his case. And by the way, that was true,” Carlson said, adding that the notion that Hitler invaded Poland without provocation was “a lie.” He also asserted that Britain “had nothing to do with it at all.”

Rees-Mogg rejected that view, calling the conflict “the classic good versus evil” and arguing that Hitler would have taken as much territory as he could.

In his letter, Klich said Carlson’s justification of the invasion insulted the victims of Nazism, “including hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who had been killed or wounded while liberating Europe from the occupation by the Third Reich.”

“As an American journalist who enjoys the democratic right to the freedom of speech, you have now become an apologist for Adolf Hitler,” Klich wrote. “In doing so, you resort to lies, completely falsifying the documented historical record.”

The diplomat laid out what he called “the indisputable facts.” Germany’s attack on Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, he wrote, “was a meticulously planned and brutal war of aggression.” He added: “Hitler’s objective was the complete destruction of the Polish state and the physical extermination of its population, followed by a continued bloody conquest of the world.”

Klich noted that Hitler “acted in collusion with another totalitarian criminal, Joseph Stalin,” and that the two planned “the fourth partition of Poland” under the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. That agreement, he wrote, “paved the way for the tragedy of millions of people in Central and Eastern Europe, including the near-total extermination of Europe’s Jewish population.”

He also disputed Carlson’s claim that Britain had no stake in the conflict. “The declaration of war on Germany by the UK and France was not merely a political obligation of the allies,” Klich wrote. “Had London and Paris not declared war on the Third Reich, they would have been attacked anyway. Hitler was driven by the idea of conquering the world and destroying all democratic states.”

Klich called on Carlson to “immediately and publicly retract and apologize for these deceitful and disgraceful statements.”

“Nazi propaganda cannot be rehabilitated under the guise of free speech, nor should the freedom of speech be used to desecrate the memory of the victims of the second World War,” he wrote.

He closed the letter with a warning: “History must not be distorted. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
