And yet it's a diversion?: Interview with Carol Marian

Interview with Dr. Carol Marian from Poznan, lawyer and historian, researcher of the history of German sabotage in Poland.

- Professor, almost all German historians, as well as some Poles, such as Wlodzimierz Jastrzembski from the Bydgoszcz Academy, question the fact of German sabotage on September 3, 1939 in Bydgoszcz. Was it or wasn't it?

"I can say with confidence that there was a sabotage."

- Although no supporting documents have been found yet?

- But there are plenty of such documents. Although they do not relate exactly to the action in Bydgoszcz, they indicate that it took place. If it didn't exist, it would be totally against logic. There is also overlapping evidence that clearly points to the Reich security service as the initiator and organizer of the leak.

- What are these documents?

- First of all, the plan of 180 attacks by SD agents on German property in Poland in the last days of August 1939, very similar to the sabotage in Bydgoszcz, accidentally discovered in the late 1940s by Berlin lawyer Alois Glugla and handed over to Edmund Osmanczyk. The plan called for attacks on the residences of two political parties in Bydgoszcz, the German passport office, the consulate office, private German schools and the German theater. All this was attributed to the Poles. However, the action was not performed. Maybe they were afraid that the Polish police would discover the perpetrators or that the scale of the attacks would arouse too much suspicion?

- Are there any other documents?

- These are instructions for the troops being deployed regarding the existence of sabotage groups in Poland. These are also letters between the leadership of the SD in Berlin and the commander of this service in Krulevets regarding the compensation of Volksdeutsche, which participated in the sabotage. The fact is that Lebensborn, an organization created to care for unmarried German mothers and their racial children, paid benefits to women whose husbands were "victims of Bloody Sunday in Bydgoszcz" and did not live in Bydgoszcz and Gdansk or in the former borders of the Reich. Is that enough?

"Not for everyone, Professor.

- Then let's move on. The existence of at least one secret unit, the Sonderkommando Rottler-Kuhl, which operated in Poland at the very beginning of September and was created to attack the Polish army, is beyond doubt. In a report by the Gdansk Consul Kuchler dated August 19, 1939, Erich Bruschke states that the Gestapo in Gdansk trained him to carry out bombing attacks in Wabrzezno and Dembowa.
