Summary

It is easy to trace uneasiness in hindsight, but by the summer of 1939 the encroaching activities of Hitler’s Germany were becoming more and more apparent. The previous autumn had seen the events of Kristallnacht, and the Molotov–Ribbentrop pact had been confirmed behind closed doors in August 1939. A false-flag operation, dubbed ‘Operation Himmler’, was planned throughout the summer, with several attacks staged as ‘Polish aggression’ against the Nazi state.
