EUROPE BELIEVES POLAND ATTACKED NAZI GERMANY
I saw a (somewhat simplistic) documentary that said that Heydrich's staged fake Polish attack on a radio transmitter on the border was intended to be used for propaganda effect to show Poland attacking Germany. OK, I knew this of course, but what the documentary said was that the intended broadcasts from the transmitter showing this to be the case, and intended to be repeated generally across the Reich before the German assault of the following day, failed because no one had checked the strength of the transmitter. It could only transmit a few kilometres, so no one heard its broadcast.
What if, therefore, Heydrich checks and finds its too weak so makes sure that another stronger transmitter is used ? Thus, the world hears about a Polish attack on a German installation the day before Germany "retaliates" ?
