Bernard Newman, a British traveler, writer, and spy, embarked on a cycling trip around the Baltic Sea in the summer of 1938. His account is not only a description of the places visited, but also valuable political and social observations a year before the outbreak of World War II. Newman visited countries that were divided by many things, but united by access to the sea, he met people and learned about places that would soon be gone. His journey is a fascinating story about Europe on the eve of a great conflict.
During his journey, Newman took part in a cycling race in Nazi Germany, where, with the help of his bicycle George, he defeated all representatives of the "master race". He also stumbled "quite by accident" upon a secret experimental Luftwaffe airfield, which resulted in his arrest. His words sound like an ominous prophecy, especially in the context of the problem with Gdańsk and the upcoming war. Newman predicted that the demand for the cession of Gdańsk would only be a cover for the demand for the return of the "corridor", or perhaps something more. In these uncertain days, Poland will resist, with or without the help of allies.
