I heard a story a few years ago, that i would love to hear if anyone else had heard or knew much about.
Supposeldly, the Germans tried to claim a reason to invade Poland. 4 geman soldiers were found near a polish station (radio or something) dead. They used this as provocation and invaded.
However it was found out later these were 4 jews dressed as german soldiers.

Maybe, people have committed atrocities against the Jews for centuries

I heard that story some time recently. I think that Poland had for a long time been seen as German territory by the Germans and Russian territory by the Russians and the poor Polish people suffered as a result.

The incident you are talking about involved a faked attack on a German radio station by Poles
see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleiwitz_incident
The Nazis then lied to their people that they were moving into Poland in self defence, Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later and the rest is history. The reason Germany started the war is a lot more complex but they just staged this incident to sell the invasion of Poland to their people

The story is true. All of the explanations above are correct.
The major point here, is the comparison between Hitler and Bush. Both started a war by fabricating a false attack or threatened attack.
I had answered a question earlier, and made the comparison between the two with that example. It's in the National Archives!
I just wish all Americans could learn about WWII, and see how history repeats itself. It's such a shame so many people have to die uselessly.

I came across a similar story that the dead were not really German. I don't, will have to do more research.

The Treaty of Versailles (did i spelll it right?) is what provoked Hitler to come to power and ultimately is the main cause of world war 2 and why the Italians put Musolini in power and joined sides with Germany
