War Over Europe 'August September 1939* The Inside Story by Van Wehrt-This is a fascinating study of the start of WW2. August 1939 saw increasing tension with Britain and Poland signing a mutual defense treaty, and Germany orchestrating false flag attacks on Polish facilities like the Gleiwitz radio tower to justify invasion. Did you know that the SS soldiers dressed up like Polish soldiers and attacked the Polish radio tower. September 1939 marked the official start of World War II with the German invasion of Poland on September 1, followed by a Soviet invasion on September 17. There are 104 pages in this book. The front cover has some damage to the inside flap. There is a name written on the inside cover as well, along with the date of 1945. The cover of this book has some scuffs and loss to the front image, but the book itself is in very good condition.
