The start of the war is generally held to be at dawn on Friday, 1 September
1939, when German troops and tanks raided the Polish countryside,
destroying everything in their path. A little over an hour later, Nazi
dive-bombers were attacking the civilians of Poland’s capital city
of Warsaw. The bombing destroyed cities, railroads, and military
bases. Britain and France declared war on Germany two days
later.

(Reuters) – A team of researchers trying to solve the mystery of aviator
Amelia Earhart’s 1937 disappearance said on Friday that underwater
video from a Pacific island has revealed a field of man-made debris
that could be remnants of her plane.
The footage was collected in July by The International Group for Historic
Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) during a $2.2 million expedition to Nikumaroro
in the Republic of Kiribati.
