In August 1939, Poland braced for the inevitable. Germany had brazenly remilitarized the Rhineland and annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland while the West watched helplessly. Soon, the world’s most powerful military force would storm through Poland.
Even with a million valiant troops, Poland was outmatched by the modern, mechanized Wehrmacht.
While Britain and France tried to placate Hitler, the Poles knew Germany would stop at nothing to reclaim the Polish Corridor, seize the free city of Danzig, and reunite Germany’s divided territories.
Both nations sensed the brewing storm yet pretended all was calm to outwit their enemy. Covert operations and cunning deceptions set the stage for an unseen battle of wits.
In a move straight out of Greek mythology, Germany sent the warship SMS Schleswig-Holstein on a “ceremonial visit” to Danzig. Inside, hundreds of German soldiers lay in wait, ready for war.
At dawn on September 1, 1939, SMS Schleswig-Holstein unleashed the first salvo of World War 2 on the Westerplatte Naval Base in a surprise assault meant to crush Polish defenses in minutes.
However, the Germans had been deceived. The Poles had their own surprise waiting…
Poster Comment:
The Germans conceived and executed a false flag operation when they dressed prisoners in Polish military uniforms and killed them near the German radio station at Gleibwitz. This ruse was used as an excuse to invade Poland. Budinsky was the Premier of Poland. Every time the Germans said something, Budinsky claimed the opposite.
Germany invaded Poland (the start of WWII) because Josef Beck's Poland was torturing and obscenely brutalizing Germans living in Poland in formerly German land.
Beck did this because he had a British guarantee that should Germany do anything about it that England (and the allies) would come to his rescue as they did.
Hitler pleased and all but begged over many months for them to stop this, they did not.
Poland (Beck) got what was coming to him.
Behind the scenes it was all driven by The Usual Suspects.
When Germany invaded Poland from the west, the Soviet Union simultaneously invaded Poland from the east. This was all set up prior to any military actions. Poland was then split between its two adversaries.
The Soviets massacred Polish intelligencia and officers in the Katyn Forest and blamed it on the Germans. Germany then called in western media to show the evidence that it was the Soviets and not the Germans who killed the Poles.
Germany had sold the Soviets 6.35 mm pistols prior to this event. Those were the pistols used to murder the Poles. ;)
