Why Die For Danzig

An anti-war, pacifist slogan created by French Socialist Marcel Déat, to deter France from going to war against Germany to defend Poland during WW2. Marcel Déat eventually became a Collaborator during the occupation of France by The Third Reich.

The quote is commonly used today to indicate someone collaborating with an autocratic regime that has plans/is already invading other countries.

It is also used to signify someone that shows pacifist tendencies, opinions, or behaviors by asking a country to give concessions (usually territorial) during a defensive war.
