germany prepares for invasion of Poland

At noon, despite threats of British and French intervention, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler signs an order to attack Poland, and German forces move to the frontier. That evening, Nazi S.S. troops wearing Polish uniforms staged a phony invasion of Germany, damaging several minor installations on the German side of the border. They also left behind a handful of dead German prisoners in Polish uniforms to serve as further evidence of the alleged Polish attack, which Nazi propagandists publicized as an unforgivable act of aggression.

I knew that germany attacked Poland , but I never knew about the above
phony invasion of Germany by germans to start the war!

Provocation.How do you think most wars start even today?

Cleverest plan since the Emms Telegram.

Bismarck = Greatest German ever (Possibly with the exception of Beckenbauer)

FACT

Manno....olle kamellen...I came running over thinking it was news!

:)

They did the same in Gliwice. They dressed up as Polish officers and confused them.

Came running over, LOL, that was funny.

Thanks for the great images mate - very poignant. Much appreciated, as I haven't seen quite a few of them before.

how could you not? I thought this was on a standard knowledge test that all Poles had to pass.
Hmm then you probably have never heard about the Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Ajax, Lavon Affair, and Operation Northwoods- you got lots of reading to do.

I just had some Germans from a Landrover club invade my farm....but it was all very friendly...and after lots of Polish beer they surrendered...Great pictures by the way...

McCoy,

Thanks for including pics of the happy meeting between NKVD and Werhmacht in Brześć on 22 September 1939. Patrycja probably thought the Soviets were allies too. Education continues.

your welcome.

It's also nice to remember their get together: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo-NKVD_Conferences

Thank you for posting the pictures McCoy :)

Did the Soviet's maintain an emabassy or consulate in Warsaw during this time?

If you mean during the German invasion, then yes. The Soviet ambassador left Poland on 12 September 1939 in preparation of the Soviet invasion. On 17 September, USSR passed a note(not accepted) stating the ceasing of the Polish state.

Russians and Germans what pigs they are!! We will never forget history!!

DOWN WITH GERMANY! DOWN WITH RUSSIA!

POLSKA! ONLY POLSKA!

DO BOJU!

Give me one good reason to give my life for you, dear old Polska..

Sounds funny...are you planning to leave the EU soon?

russians and germans have always been making fun of Poles getting beaten

German forces were surrendering and crying to Poles during the Warsaw uprising they gtt owned by a force smaller and badly equipted.

In 1920 we sent the russians crying and begging for mercy in the Battle Of Warsaw

Who should be made fun of now?

Erm...AFTER they surrendered and cried to Poles:


PolskaMan..who taught you history?

Dude stay on topic

Books taught me history not the computer or my neo nazi friends [well yours anyways]

- Maybe its time to take some past due medication...? Who says that WE have to forget something? Why are you insulting all Germans and Russians?

It is rather sad when you look at both Nazi and Russia having to try to take out Poland. Wouldn't that be the same as a man with a gun fighting a man with his hands tied behind his back?

Ahem - who partitioned whom, exactly?

Yes it would every war in the 20th centuary involving Poland wasnt started by Poland meaning we were always caught by suprise some people say was prepared for ww2 we only knew there was going to be an attack 2 days before the invasion,what can you do in 2 days?

To the guy above Poland was partitioned by prussia russia and asutria

I thought it was standard knowledge to use proper terms as poles are things we use
to connect wires and usually are placed deep into the ground so a large wind hot wind
coming from your mouth doesnt blow them over. :) LOL

Poles or do you mean POLISH PEOPLE? cause Poles dont take tests, only people do..
lol..

born in America, and sad to say, our learning was limited, I learned about certain
things regarding the war, but it was very brief and yes we are tested, but by
the time you get to the end of the social studies book, youve forgotten have of the
stuff you learned..


Nope patrycja thinks your a soviet with a stick up your arse. education continues !!
