On August 31, 1939, despite threats of British and French intervention, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler signed an order to attack Poland, and German forces moved to the frontier. That evening, Nazi SS troops wearing Polish uniforms staged a phony invasion of Germany, damaging several minor installations on the German side of the border. They also left behind a handful of dead German prisoners in Polish uniforms to serve as further evidence of ''Polish aggression.'' At dawn the next morning, fifty-eight German army divisions invaded Poland all across the 1,250-mile frontier. In an effort to promote acceptance of the invasion by Britain and France, Hitler ordered his propagandists and diplomats into action, but neither country would allow the German Fuhrer's new violation of Europe's borders to stand. On September 2, Germany was presented with an ultimatum: Withdraw by September 3 or face war with the Western democracies. At 11:15 a.m. on September 3, a few minutes after the expiration of the British ultimatum, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain appeared on national radio to solemnly announce that Britain was at war with Germany. Australia and New Zealand immediately followed suit. Later that afternoon, the French ultimatum expired, and at 5:00 p.m., France declared war against Germany. The European phase of World War II had begun.

The savagery of the murders that Charles Manson and his followers committed in Los Angeles and Hollywood became a focal point for America's mistrust of the counterculture of the 1960's.

The naval battles in the Pacific during World War II were intense. These clips, shot in 1944 & 1945, are rare color shots of some heavy naval fighting. Unable to neutralize U.S. opposition to its actions in SE Asia, Japan opened hostilities against the United States and Great Britain on Dec. 7, 1941, by striking at Pearl Harbor, Singapore, and other Pacific possessions. The fortunes of war at first ran in favor of Japan, and by the end of 1942 the spread of Japanese military might over the Pacific to the doors of India and of Alaska was prodigious. Then the tide turned; territory was lost to the Allies island by island; warfare reached Japan itself with intensive bombing; and finally in 1945, following the explosion of atomic bombs by the United States over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan surrendered on Aug. 14, the formal surrender being on the U.S. battleship Missouri in Tokyo Harbor on Sept. 2, 1945. Department of the Navy. From "Sunset in the Pacific" (1944-1945).
