AI notes: September 1, 1939, marks the start of World War II, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland using a rapid military tactic known as Blitzkrieg. The attack, following a staged provocation called the Gleiwitz Incident, prompted Britain and France to declare war on Germany two days later. This invasion violated international agreements and signaled the beginning of a global conflict that would last six years. The date also inspired W. H. Auden’s poem “September 1, 1939,” which reflects on the political and moral crises of the time.
