The war in Europe started to protect Poland’s sovereignty. Many Poles see Poland being left to communist influence as betrayal by the Allies. However, one could argue that the intention was to protect Poland from the Nazis, not from the Soviets. And additionally, the Soviets were allies of the Allies.
But as one person mentioned, at the very least Poland received land from the German territory, which is a huge deal so it probably assuaged the anger felt by many Poles. Also, the West had been very generous and welcoming to allow Poles to remain in their country for those who don’t want to return to communist Poland. So yeah, the Poles were compensated in that regard.
