The source that referred to in this episode can be found below: An official statement on the future of Poland, drawn up at the Yalta Conference, 11th February 1945. A new situation has been created in Poland as a result of her complete liberation by the Red Army. This calls for the establishment of a Polish Provisional Government which can be more broadly based than was possible before the recent liberation of the Western part of Poland. The Provisional Government which is now functioning in Poland should therefore be reorganized on a broader democratic basis with the inclusion of democratic leaders from Poland itself and from Poles abroad. This new Government should then be called the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity…This Polish Provisional Government of National Unity shall be pledged to the holding of free and unfettered elections as soon as possible on the basis of universal suffrage and secret ballot. In these elections, all democratic and anti-Nazi parties shall have the right to take part and to put forward candidates.’ https://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/what-went-wrong-on-poland-reconsidering-the-legacy-of-the-yalta-agreement/
