The Polish Campaign of 1939 in the Historiography of the Third Reich. Bibliographic Introduction to the Subject

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the historiography of the Third Reich thematically related to the Poland campaign 1939. The bibliography published in London in 1950 contains a list of 280 publications concerning this campaign, edited in the Third Reich in 1939–1945. There are 128 in the collections of Polish libraries. The publications were supposed to justify German invasion, glorify victory and create the myth of invincibility of the Wehrmacht. However, even amongst them it is possible to find works, which, after being subjected to severe critique, constitute an important source of information about the hostilities and the people who participated in them. They have a significant informative value. There are interesting photographs of soldiers, weapons, equipment and battlefields included in them. After 1945 German historians showed little interest in Poland campaign 1939. As a result, few scientific publications on that subject were prepared.
