Hello @shingen thanks for the great reply.

Indeed what you write ia true. Poland did occupy a part of Czechoslovakia and it did affect the latter cooperation while in exile. Sad, but true.

Indeed Poland was attacked from all sides, including Slovakia.

As for the Gleiwitz incident I cannot confirm that the people involved were part of the Brandenburg Unit, they were SS for sure. After the whole incident they calmly returned to a nearby hotel.

On a side note I try to write these historical posts with as little amount of details as possible but at the same to provide an overview of the situation. Thankfully it is a forum so we can delve into details in discussions 🙂 also thank younfor the book recommendation.

I will leave the part of the earlier beginning of the war to @oriskany I’ve heard about it and agree partially with the assumption.
