74 years ago last night, German agents dressed as Polish soldiers - TopicsExpress



          

74 years ago last night, German agents dressed as Polish soldiers raided the radio station in German-held Gleiwitz, broadcasting anti-German messages in Polish and leaving the Polish-uniformed body of a German political prisoner as proof of the attack. 74 years ago today, Germany used the sham attack as an excuse to invade Poland... thus beginning World War 2. Some consider Franciszek Honiok... the political prisoner who was taken on the raid, killed by lethal injection and then shot... the first casualty of the war.
