    The Germans have attacked Poland without any declaration of war
    1939: Germany invades Poland

    England have

    German forces have invaded Poland and its planes have bombed Polish cities, including the capital, Warsaw.

    The attack comes without any warning or declaration of war.

    Britain and France have mobilised their forces and are preparing to wage war on Germany for the second time this century.

    Just before dawn today, German tanks, infantry and cavalry penetrated Polish territory on several fronts with five armies, a total of 1.5 million troops.

    Soon afterwards German planes bombarded the cities. They have been making swift progress in penetrating Polish defences which are heavily outnumbered in artillery, infantry and air power.

    The cities of Katowice, Krakow, Tczew and Tunel were attacked with incendiary bombs. Air raids on Warsaw began at 0900 local time.

    Communications to Katowice have been broken but earlier reports said German planes were coming over in squadrons of 50, every half-hour, and there have been many casualties.

    The German Army struck from Slovakia, East Prussia and from Pomerania into the Polish Corridor and the port Danzig, which has declared itself part of the Reich.

    The 4th Army came in from East Prussia at Deutsch-Eylau supported by air raids on cities north of Warsaw. There is heavy fighting reported along the whole of the East Prussian border.

    Poznan was attacked from the main body of the German Reich and border towns occupied.

    The 8th and 10th armies are moving north-east from Silesia towards Warsaw; and the 14th Army struck from Slovakia towards Krakow.

    The Times newspaper reports that when the air raid sirens in the capital first sounded at 0600 inhabitants reacted calmly and some even ran out onto the streets to look up at the sky and had be driven back inside by air raid wardens.

    The unprovoked attack follows yesterday's report on German radio that the border town of Gleiwicz had been raided by a group of Polish soldiers, who had all been shot dead.

    German radio broadcast a list of "demands" never submitted to the Polish Government.

    The Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, held a meeting with King George today in Downing Street.

    Later this evening Mr Chamberlain told a packed House of Commons that British and French Ambassadors in Berlin had given German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop an ultimatum.

    He was to tell Berlin that unless the Nazis withdraw, Britain and France would fulfil its promise of support to Poland.

    Von Ribbentrop said he would refer the message to Adolf Hitler.

    US President Roosevelt of the United States has sent an appeal to the governments of Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Poland urging them to announce publicly their determination not to launch air attacks on civilians.

    In reply the British and French governments say they intend to confine their bombing to military objectives, so long as their opponents do the same.

    All 269 people on board are presumed dead

    1983: Korean airliner 'shot down'

    Artificially 1969: FilmTheTheAA The United States has accused the USSR of shooting down a civilian airliner which is missing off Russia's eastern coast.

    All 269 people on board the Korean Airlines flight KAL 007 are presumed dead.

    Moscow has so far only admitted to an incident with an "unidentified aircraft" in Soviet airspace.

    The Boeing 747 was flying from the USA to Seoul via Anchorage. It is believed to have strayed north of its scheduled course towards the Soviet island of Sakhalin.

    The US Secretary of State, George Shultz, demanded a full explanation from Moscow. He told reporters he was confident the USSR was to blame.

    "At least eight Soviet fighters reacted at one time or other to the airliner," he said.

    Japanese monitors said they heard a Soviet pilot telling his ground controllers that he had taken aim at the plane and had fired. The aircraft disappeared from radar screens 12 minutes later.

    The military complex near Sakhalin and the naval base at the port of Vladivostok are in one of Russia's strategically most sensitive areas.

    Five years ago the Russians shot down a Korean airliner after it changed its course and flew over the top secret base at Murmansk.
