Ribbentrop, however, presented his case in such a manner that the German demands were to be acccpted as a whole, refusing to commit himself in any way whatsoever as to the merits of the Polish counteroffer, regarding which, in consequence, complete silence was deliberately imposed by the German government."

Józef Beck and Lipski both said at various points after this date that Poland was still willing to enter negotiations, though this was around the time Germany stopped trying to issue demands.
Ah, a good argument, I admit. Could you give me a link please ?

Now, we have to know who is not saying the truth, or partially.

But I'm pointing out the fact that these are only Memoirs, so they must be very less precise than a daily report, as Ribbentrop made. When did he write them ? After the war ? It's very easy to rearrange facts after they have taken place. Are there any official documents ?
