Gleiwitz radio station, raid on, faked assault by ‘Polish’ troops on a German radio station 1.6 km. (1 mi.) from the Polish border which became one of Hitler's pretexts for launching the
Polish campaign in September 1939. The attack was organized by
Heydrich and was led by an
SS Sturmbannführer (major), Alfred Naujocks. With eight men, all dressed in the uniform of the Polish regular army, Naujocks stormed the radio station on the evening of 31 August and immobilized its staff. Listeners to the station heard shots and then an announcement in Polish that it was time for the Poles to attack Germany. Before they left, the attackers, as evidence of Polish brutality against the civilian population, killed a
concentration camp inmate they had specially brought with them for this purpose. His body was shown to foreign
war correspondents as proof of the attack.
