	World War II atrocities in Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The war against Poland was from the start intended as a fulfillment of the plan described by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf.
		During the 1939 German invasion of Poland, special action squads of SS and police (the Einsatzgruppen) were deployed in the rear, arresting or killing those civilians caught resisting the Germans or considered capable of doing so as determined by their position and social status.
		Between 1939 and 1945 an estimated 3,000 members of the Polish clergy were killed (in all of Poland); of these, 1,992 died in concentration camps, 787 of them at Dachau.

	Lest We Forget - Poland in World War II
		Italian war correspondents came upon the scene and were told by German soldiers that it resulted from the cavalry having charged the tanks.
		Unlike after World War I, where the Allies stood by Poland in the post-war negotiations, retaining her borders and sovereignty, after the end of World War Two, Poland was abandoned, and "given" to the Soviet Union.
		Though Poland was forgotten, the role that she and her citizens played in the defeat of Germany is too important to be forgotten as well.

	A Brief History of the U.S. Army in World War II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose.
		Waging war with the implacable ruthlessness of totalitarian regimes, both sides committed wholesale atrocities—mistreatment of prisoners of war, enslavement of civilian populations, and, in the case of the Jews, outright genocide.
		World War II proved that the assault force needed air and sea supremacy and overwhelming combat power to be successful.

	Lecture 11: Hitler and World War Two (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Because of his experiences in Vienna, World War One, the Münich putsch and in prison, Adolf Hitler dreamed of building a vast German Empire sprawling across Central and Eastern Europe.
		The French, with the largest army on the Continent, refused to contemplate an offensive war, as was their position in World War One, and decided instead to protect their borders at all costs.
		The Spanish Civil War was decisive for Hitler for it was here that he was able to test new weapons and new aircraft which would eventually make their appearance when World War Two finally broke out in 1939.

	WWII: The Casualties
		The purpose is to indicate the immensity of the human losses in this most terrible of all wars, one characterized by unspeakable atrocities, germ warfare, enormous civilian casualties, genocide of 5 1/2 million European Jews, and the use of a new and terror-laden weapon of war--the atomic bomb.
		Estimates of the death toll attributable to the war for military and civilian losses have ranged upward to 60 million, with civilian losses at or more than 50 percent of that total (a stark contrast with the losses of WWI, in which such losses were no more than five percent).
		Th war had a far greater global reach than its predecessor; over 50 countries or dependencies were listed as having some degree of involvement.

		Upon World War II's conclusion, the Allied Powers established two major tribunals, the International Military Tribunal for Germany ("Nuremberg Tribunal") and the International Military Tribunal for the Far East ("Tokyo Tribunal").
		For example, the Geneva and Hague Conventions in place during World War II were focused on the relationship between belligerent nations and military forces while ignoring, at least to some extent, war's impact on the civilian population.
		Because of the extraordinary numbers of violations that occurred during World War II, without these local, smaller war crimes trials even fewer individuals would have been held accountable for their illegal conduct.

	Jeffrey Burds comments on Timothy Snyder
		One of the greatest obstacles to understanding the history of Galicia during and after the Second World War has been that the memory of the events themselves has been constructed ethnically--which is to say, each ethnic group has recorded their own versions of the tragic devastation of that era.
		Timothy Snyder's groundbreaking article on ethnic cleansing in southeastern Poland during and after World War II is a brilliant and courageous contribution, one which shows the ways in which meticulous archival research can overcome the limits of historical memory.
		In this era when post-Soviet Poland and Ukraine are both dominated by internal nationalist efforts to reclaim their own histories, Snyder's work is an especially important corrective for what have generally been chauvinistic and partial accounts.

	Mass crimes against humanity and genocide: up to the end of World War II
		Although the main victims of this genocide were Armenian Christians, the approximately five million Greek Christians living in Turkey at the start of World War I were also targeted for programs of deportation, forced marches leading to extermination, and ethnic cleansing.
		It is an interesting fact of history that when the death camps were liberated at the end of World War II, most of the inmates were freed.
		Adding the loss of life due to World War II to the above deliberate, methodical exterminations gives a total death toll of about 34 million which can be attributed to Hitler.

		The German camps in occupied Poland during World War II were built by Nazi Germany during its occupation of Poland (1939-1945).

		Many of the 400,000 Polish prisoners of war captured by Germans during the 1939 invasion of Poland were also confined in these camps, although many of them were also sent as forced labourers in Germany.

		A federal judge has ruled that an elderly New York man participated in Nazi atrocities in Poland during World War II and has revoked his US citizenship, according to papers made public on Thursday.
		The judge said federal prosecutors proved Jack Reimer, 83, a retired restaurant manager from Carmel, New York, was a member of a Nazi guard unit that carried out the mass murders of Jewish prisoners and the liquidation of Polish ghettos.
		The judge said the guards were under the control of the Nazi SS and had assisted in persecuting Polish Jews, including clearings of Jewish ghettos, such as those of Czestochowa and Warsaw, pit killings, and the guarding of labor camps.

	Jews
		Many empires and rulers have sought to "liquidate" the Jews through wars of destruction, extinction, genocide, expulsions, exiles, and torture.
		This phenomenon is known as "intermarriage" and is the leading cause for the shrinkage of almost all Jewish populations in Western countries since World War Two, it has been called the "Silent Holocaust" by some social observers.
		Only in the State of Israel have secular Jews increased due to natural growth and immigration, and both Orthodox Jews and Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who shun birth control for religious reasons, have increased due to their large families.
