Except it wasn't a counter attack. Just and out and out false flag op to justify their attack. hobbit709 Sep 2013 #5

you've got to hope he isn't insane. For me I started thinking of this a long time ago. The Germans, who I never thought were totally insane, what did they believe they were doing by invading Poland. Then I found dressing concentration camp victims up as Polish soldiers shooting them and sprinkling them around the radio station. That's when it all made sense.

I really even think they screwed their time tables up. I don't recall the particulars whether the supposed "attack" on the German radio station happened one day too early or after they had already invaded.

It's an extremely important lesson the people should be aware of to prevent it from happening again.
