The tripartite military talks, started in mid-August, hit a sticking point regarding the passage of Soviet troops through Poland if Germans attacked, and the parties waited as British and French officials overseas pressured Polish officials to agree to such terms.
Cando as conversas militares comezaron a mediados de agosto, as negociacións rapidamente quedaron estancadas no tema do paso de tropas soviéticas a través de Polonia se os alemáns atacaban, e as partes agardaron a que oficiais británicos e franceses presionasen aos polacos para que aceptasen eses termos.
