Invasion of Poland and War on the Western Front
The staged attack on the radio station in Gliwice unleashes the Second World War in 1939. Poland is the first country to be occupied by the Wehrmacht and divided up between Hitler and Stalin in the wake of the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact. A nightmare is about to begin, especially for the Polish Jews: they are forced to live in ghettos and are victims of first ethnic cleansings. From April 1940, Hitler’s war is then also directed against the West. German troops march into Denmark and Norway, and a month later also into Holland, Belgium and France. As in the East, the German military relies on blitzkrieg tactics: fast tank units supported by aircraft. Britain is the only country able to prevent a German invasion.
