World War II begins at 3:14. “I show you two documents”
This is evidenced by archival documents and eyewitness memories kept at the Institute Poland and the Museum of gene. Sikorski in London. They described the activities of the Wehrmacht’s 5th Panzer Division, leading a two-lane attack – at Rybnik, ory and Pszczyna from one side, and at Rydułtowy, Wodzisław, Mszana and Pszczyna from the other.
– As evidence, I present two documents, or rather an elaborated telegram, confirming this very important moment in the history of our homeland. This is the Krakow Army report from the battle episode – he said local portal Mr. Thomas.
“In the vicinity of Rybnik, about 3.14 30 tanks were found in their own troops in contact with the enemy” – you can read in the telegram number A II9 /21. “At dawn, between 3:30 and 5:00, the enemy crossed the Polish border” – stated in the next. – The author of the telegram is Lieutenant Colonel Marian Zdon, who is the head of the Department of the Second Staff of the Kraków Army – explains Tomasz Muskus.
The Kraków Army’s 6th Infantry Division, whose Separate Units “Rybnik” and “Wodzisław” secured the territory of Rybnik and Wodzisław. They were the first to start a fight with the aggressor army.
– This troop is practically absent on any map. It’s as if it doesn’t exist, yet we know that it’s in God’s territory Mountains in Mszana, a small detachment of Captain Otto Zygmunt Ejsmont, leading the OW “Wodzisław”, stopped the German tank attack, essentially destroying the plan to capture Pszczyna and bridge in the Vistula on September 1 – explained Muskus.
Will the discovery change anything? No. Historian: Let’s keep calm
According to Tomasz Muskus, this is not just about the German provocation, but about the fact that the first clashes took place in Silesia. When asked if the discovery would change perceptions at the start of World War II, he said no.
Dr Bogdan Kloch z Rybnik the museum, a World War II specialist, found the telegram interesting. – It’s true, they shed new light on our knowledge of what the war was like and we need to see it. However, we must remember that the crossing of the border at 3.00 and the subsequent clash of troops could be the last episode of the provocations carried out by the Germans on our territory – he said.
– In my opinion, the subject should be taken up by another institution, led by the National Memorial Institute. Here you need a discussion, collect material again. So let’s treat the telegram as a curiosity, but I suggest you stay calm – added Bogdan Kloch.
