On August 31, 1939, SS officer Alfred Naujocks led Operation Himmler — a series of false flag attacks designed to look like Polish aggression against Germany. At the Gleiwitz radio station, SS operatives dressed in Polish uniforms broadcast a short anti-German message, then left a murdered concentration camp prisoner (Franciszek Honiok) in a Polish uniform at the scene. The next day, Hitler invaded Poland, citing 'Polish aggression.' Naujocks confessed at Nuremberg, providing the definitive account of the deception.
The Nazis staged a fake Polish attack on a German radio station to justify invading Poland and starting WWII
“On orders from Heydrich, I organized the simulated attack on the radio station near Gleiwitz... We seized the radio station and broadcast a message in Polish.”
