The Man Who Started the War
The True Story of THE MAN WHO STARTED THE WAR
As a key member of Hitler's sinister secret police, he lied, forged, kidnapped, seduced, murdered… On August 1939 he became the man who started World War II…
"Adolf Hitler, his devastating war machine primed and ready to roll, needed an excuse to touch off World War II.
"The Führer presented the problem to Heydrich, notorious chief of the SD. Heydrich called up Naujocks. Together they worked out plans for a Polish "invasion" of German soil.
"At dusk, August 31, 1939, Naujocks and six chosen men set out for the little border town of Gleiwitz.
"They were in Polish uniforms…
"At dawn, September 1, 1939, the Panzers were rolling across the border."
"I am me man who started me war…
I lit the fuse in-Europe in 1939—"
—Major Alfred Helmut Naujocks, SD, Berlin
At 26, Alfred Naujocks was the key man in Hitler's sinister SD organization, the man who:
Sent 35,000 Red Army officers to their deaths
Forged millions of British five pound notes
Set up the world's most exclusive brothel in Berlin
Staged the fantastic murder plot that touched off the holocaust of World War II
Was himself marked for extermination by his Nazi masters because he knew too much
