THE INVASION ..

THE MOST TRAGIC OF ALL DATES ..

At dawn on 1 September, 1939, Germany bombed the Polish city of Wielun, a town with no military significance. The aim was to sow terror among the civilian population.

Hundreds were killed, buildings were flattened and the remaining population fled.

Two weeks later, Poland suffered a second invasion, this time from the Soviet Union in the east.

It is not widely known, that Polish casualties during the bombing of Warsaw by the Luftwaffe in 1939 were about the same as those suffered by the Germans in the British bombing of Dresden in 1945.

The German invasion of Poland heralded the start of one of the bloodiest occupations of the war, in which the Germans killed millions of Polish citizens.

This is something ignored in history especially by Russians who don’t accept much of historical truth, but neither do the Germans.

The war actually started with a dual invasion by the Soviets and the Germans.

The territories of Poland, east of the Curzon line, were annexed by the USSR in September 1939.

Germany conquered Poland and incorporated its western territories into the Third Reich and on the remaining lands they established General Government. That was the IV partition of Poland.

The extermination of Poles was decided earlier than the extermination of Jews. It was Poles who were the first nation to be destroyed.

A new generation of Germans entered Poland, trained in the Weimar Democratic Republic’s schools , where they were taught vicious anti-Polonism, hatred of Poland and the belief that Poles do not deserve to exist.

And the ethnic Polish intelligentsia was largely annihilated – no country, no nation participating in World War II was destroyed as much as Poland . These are the facts, despite the fact that Jewish communities have been presenting themselves as the only victims of war for years.

The goal must be not to reach a marked line, but to destroy living force. Even if the war were to break out in the West, the destruction of Poland must be our first task. The decision must be immediate because of the time of year. I will give some reason for the outbreak of the war for propaganda purposes. Never mind if it will be reliable or not.  Nobody asks the Winner if he told the truth or not. In matters related to the start and conduct of war, it is not the law but the victory that decides. Be merciless, be brutal’’ – said Adolf Hitler on the eve of signing the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

And he added – ‘’For now, I have prepared only my Totenkopf (skulls) troops in the east, ordering them to kill men, women and children of Polish origin and Polish language  and without mercy. (…) Poland will be depopulated and settled in Germany.’ 

Heinrich Himmler followed him, who said – “”All professionals of Polish origin are to be used in our war industry. Later, Poles will disappear from the world (…). That is why it is necessary for the great German nation to see its main task in destroying all Poles.”.

The second aggressor, the USSR in September had a similar attitude towards Poland.

This hatred meant that the destruction of Poles was definitely decided earlier than the destruction of Jews.

Martin Bormann said it most explicitly in his secret notes from the meeting with Hitler, which took place in 1940 with the participation of Governor Hans Frank: ‘… The General Governorship is our reservoir of workforce for simple work (brickyards, road construction, etc.) …) It should be absolutely noted that there cannot be any “Polish gentlemen”; where there are Polish gentlemen, they are to be (…) killed. The Führer stressed that for Poles, there can be only one gentleman and that is a German. Two gentlemen cannot be side by side and there is no consent for that, therefore all representatives of the Polish intelligentsia are to be eliminated.  It sounds hard, but that’s the law of life “.

(Martin Bormann, 2 October 1940)

The Germans started implementing this “right of life” in the first days of the war, immediately executing representatives of the intelligentsia.

This organized action was carried out by the security police operational groups – Einsatzgruppen and paramilitary units composed of the German minority residing in the Second Polish Republic called Volksdeutscher Selbstschutz. The arrests were made by Germans on the basis of personal prescriptive lists – the “list of enemies of the Reich” (Sonderfahndungsbuch Polen), containing the names of eminent persons of Polish nationality as well as the cultural, political and social elite, prepared before the war by members of the German minority in Poland.

AND THE SLAUGHTER BEGAN …

About 60 percent of these executions were carried out by the “noble” Wehrmacht, which, according to modern German history, had nothing to do with the crimes of “Nazis”, but merely poured into the battlefields with the Russians. The Germans soon showed what their “order” in Poland would look like.

The beginning of Polish Golgotha

One of many examples was the arrest on November 6, 1939, and deportation of 184 Krakow scientists to concentration camp.

The destruction of Polish intelligentsia continued uninterrupted until the last days of the war.

Among the “regional” Intelligenzaktion, was for example, the crime in Pomerania, where in the autumn of 1939 in the Piaśnicki Forests, Mniszek near Świecie and the Szpęgawski Forest near Starogard, Germans killed 23,000 Poles.

In November 1939 in Bydgoszcz – 1,400 inhabitants, were slaughtered and in Chojnice in the “Death Valley” – about 2,000 residents were executed.

In Poznań – 2,000 people, in Mazovia, at the turn of 1939 and 1940 – 6,700 people ( not including Warsaw massacres).

In Silesia – in the spring of 1940 – 2,000 Poles, another 2,000 people in a special action in Lublin. And we are talking only about the first months of occupation. Intelligenzaktion has affected virtually every city in Poland. Even escaping to the countryside gave no shelter. And yet, the destruction of Polish villages was a separate action.

The extermination of the Polish elite and even their children (only because they represented the Polish elite) by the Germans lasted until the end of the war.

After the war, the Germans were replaced by the Soviets, who continued this genocidal crime.

Edward Reid – Polish Truth

Sometimes the best way to judge someone is by looking at how their enemies view them.

This is especially true with Poland.

Poles could not defend themselves for years against attacks nor write their own history since they were stuck behind the walls of tyranny.
