On the evening of 31 August 1939, an unknown prisoner in one of Hitler's concentration camps was dressed in a Polish uniform, taken to the German frontier town of Gliewitz, and shot in a fake ‘Polish attack' that was meant to make Germany appear the target of Polish aggression. He was the first casualty of a war that would claim the lives of more than 46 million soldiers and civilians.\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  The Second World War 1939-1942, The Second World War 1943-1945.
