What lie did Bierut lobby for at the Potsdam Conference?
His leadership term extension
Establishment of Poland's western border at the Oder–Neisse line
Soviet Union access to Poland
Polish access to East Germany
Answer
At the Potsdam Conference, Bierut pushed for the establishment of Poland's western border at the Oder-Neisse line, arguing that it was justified as compensation for Polish territories annexed by the Soviet Union. This claim, presented as a fair resolution, concealed the intention to annex significant German territories and disregarded the rights and interests of the German population in those areas.
