"Race" has often been used to mean sub species with regards to "Homo sapiens". Hitler expected that the Western powers would just acquiesce once Poland was rapidly destroyed by Germany and the Soviet Union.Ĭlick to expand.Have to disagree with you there. Hitler did not declare War on the World, he didn't believe that France and the UK would honor their agreement with Poland. So let's keep this "atrocity" in perspective. Fifty Polish prisoners of war from Bydgoszcz were later falsely accused by Nazi Sondergericht Bromberg summary courts for taking part in "Bloody Sunday" and shot. The murdered included the president of Bydgoszcz, Leon Barciszewski. The event and place of execution became known as the Valley of Death. Approximately 600–800 Polish hostages were shot in a mass execution in the aftermath of the fall of the city.Īfter the Germans took over the city, they killed 1200–3000 Polish and Jewish civilians, as part of Operation Tannenberg. The Polish Institute of National Remembrance found and confirmed 254 Lutheran victims, assumed to be German victims, and 86 Catholic victims, assumed to be Polish civilian, as well as 20 Polish soldiers. In total these events resulted in the deaths of both German and Polish civilians. The sequence started with an attack of German Selbstschutz snipers on retreating Polish troops and then was followed by a Polish reaction and then the final retaliatory execution of Polish hostages by the Wehrmacht and Selbstschutz, after fall of the city. All I ask is that not spread this is utter garbage and Nazi propaganda.īloody Sunday was a name given by Nazi propaganda officials to a sequence of events that took place in Bydgoszcz ( Bromberg), a Polish city with a sizable German minority, between 3 and 4 September 1939, in otherwords, after the war started.
