In 1939, Hitler inaugurated the German invasion of Poland by attacking the Polish outpost of Westerplatte. But why Westerplatte? And what happened?

  1. Hey cool! New videos! It looks like Youtube's algorithm has stopped recommending me your videos even though I am subscribed with the bell. This is a great channel I hope they fix this. I don't know if you have any recourse, yt is a soulless corporation after all, you could try to contact them anyway. (I did get this vid in my home page but not the last two)

  2. @7:04 the speaker in the video neglects to mention the jooeeesh role in this. Poland was for centuries the heartland of these people and when their Soviet Communist comrades tried to do the same to Poland, these people often assisted the Soviets, to the point when it came to the Battle For Warsaw, they were placed into concentration camps

  3. Algorithm boost and I'm following you on Instagram. Whenever your content comes out it's amazing. If you're ever back in Upstate New York I can show you around. I live in the Albany area but I drove from Plattsburgh to Watertown to Buffalo and I looked up a lot of the history of upstate New York as I was driving through small villages. Like Boonville named after a Dutch Abolitionist who wanted to replace slave grown cane sugar with maple sugar.

  4. One important point not mentioned in the video is the discrimination and deaths of ethnic Germans living in Poland before this time. It was mentioned by the speaker that there were millions of ethnic Germans living here but the protection of ethnic Germans being murdered before this time was one reason for the invasion.
    Britain gave notice that they would declare war against Germany if the Germans invaded Poland. This emboldened the Poles to further discrimination of ethnic Germans living in Poland since the Poles knew that Britain would come to their defense if Germany invaded.
