Claims About Ethnic Germans and Bloody Sunday in Poland, 1939

Hitler mentioned over 30 border violations for August alone in

his Reichstag speech on the 1st of September 1939.

During the last weeks of August 1939, Germans

were openly terrorized in villages with the expression

"slaughter them off."

Racial propaganda in the Polish, mainly Jewish-owned press,

played a major role in the persecution of the ethnic Germans.

The attacks reached their climax on September the 3rd

in Bromberg in what is known as the Bloody Sunday.

The Polish military gave full support to the Polish civilians

and partisans hunting down, slaughtering the remaining German

minorities

still left in Poland in the standard communist practice.

The German population was hunted down.

The houses were searched, and ethnic Germans were beaten and raped.

They were usually herded together, driven off and massacred in isolated

spots in numbers ranging from 39, 48, 53

to 104 at a time. At least

5500 were slaughtered like pigs. Children were

nailed to barns. Women were raped and hacked to death with axes.

Men were beaten and hacked to death.

328 Germans were herded into Bromberg's Protestant church, after

which the church was set on fire. All 328 burned to

death. The massacres in the city of Bromberg

would be hidden from our

history books. Today, these massacres have turned out to be one

of the most

monstrous and brutal of crimes to ever be inflicted on a

civilian population.

Leon Degrelle said, "Of all the crimes of World War II,

one never hears about the wholesale massacres that occurred in

Poland just before the war. Thousands of German men, women,

and children were massacred in the most horrendous fashion by

press enraged mobs. Hitler decided to halt the slaughter, and

he rushed to the rescue."

Germany finally retaliated on the 1st of September 1939.

The same day Danzig was formally captured by Germany.

Germany invaded Poland and reclaimed the territories

that had been taken away from

her by the Versailles Treaty.
