	By the time the first police arrived from their station 1 km away the intruders had left. [[Upper Silesia]] had for 20 years been the scene of Polish ~~nationalist~~ unrest and terrorism. The Poles subsequently said this was a false flag operation by the Germans themselves, with not a scrap of evidence to support such an allegation. [[Upper Silesia]] had since 1919 been a hotbed of anti-German terrorism, so something of this nature is hardly surprising.

	The '''Campaign in Poland''' consisted of military action between [[Germany]] and [[Poland]] in September 1939. It concluded with the complete and absolute defeat of [[Poland]]. Poland's partial mobilisation against Germany from '''25 March 1939''' was followed by her full mobilisation announced on '''August 30th''' (but authorised by the Polish Government on the 28th). It is generally accepted that mobilisation means war. Germany argued their military response was to "Macedonian conditions" on their borders and twenty years of Poland's deliberate provocations.
