[Kai Frederik Lorentzen]

Thomas Pynchon:

 > The Tehran conference wasthe first allied summit meeting of the 
second world war, taking place late in 1943, with Roosevelt, Churchill 
and Stalin in attendance. Among the topics they discussed was how, once 
Nazi Germany was defeated, the allies would divide it up into zones of 
occupation.Who would get how much of Poland was another issue. <

What a sloppy formulation!

A part of Germany was given to Poland which had to give a part of its 
own territory to the USSR.

 > Churchill proposed to Stalin a moving westwards of Poland, which 
Stalin accepted, which gave the Poles industrialized German land to the 
west and gave up marshlands to the east, while providing a territorial 
buffer to the Soviet Union against invasion. (Wikipedia) <
