The German King of Poland - Augustus III

Augustus III - King of Poland; Elector of Saxony













http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus_III_of_Poland

He wasn't a particularly good king and he spent less than 3 years in all there during his whole reign, but he was still German and King of Poland, and he did convert to Catholicism.  

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ts29n has his coronation music.  Do listen to it.  It is jolly, uplifting and better than Handel, IMHO.

Could someone please tell me again why France and Britain couldn't let Hitler keep Poland, as Poland once even had a Saxon (ie German) King?  

Were Britain and France just ganging up on Germany just to be mean?

Did Hitler feel entitled to acquire Poland in the same way that someone playing Monopoly would wish to acquire Pentonville Road after having acquired Euston Road and The Angel Islington, when everyone else already has a set?  

I think we should be told.
