On September 1st, without waiting for a response to its ultimatum, Germany invaded Poland. Much to Hitler's surprise, England honored its treaty with Poland.

It also added immeasurably to the power of the Third Reich. — William L. Shirer

It made reference to "an insane and arrogant prophet" without naming Hitler. — Adam Makos
