On the first point, I do not know precisely how to alter security arrangements, but then, such an alteration was unnecessary in considering task assignments. On the second, I am not sure it was a matter of politeness, rather than holding firm, which is more consequential.....On Poland, you may be right, although the major population loss was from Jewish areas not highly integrated into the nation, and therefore better counted as a loss to world Jewry. Still, Poland suffered quite a bit. On the other hand, it was not a choice.......

BTW, I'd say Poland bore rather more of the brunt of WWII than the US or any other country... during and afterwards...)

They where high on the list of those who felt the most suffering from WWII. The US and the USSR shouldered the brunt of the burden for defeating the Axis (but then they had broader shoulders then the other countries).
