12 Years, 3 Months, 9 Days - The Annual Chronicle of the Third Reich

1939 – War of aggression and war inferno (1x7)

:

At the beginning of 1939, Hitler presented himself as statesmanlike and cosmopolitan. In doing so, he continues to pursue only one goal: war. In March, German troops occupied Slovakia, and shortly afterwards the Memelland was reintegrated into the Reich. On 1 September, German troops invade Poland without declaring war. Only two days later, England and France declare war on the German Reich.
