==Operation Himmler and Gleiwitz incident==
Operation Himmler was a [[false flag]] operation planned by the SS and SD to create the appearance of a Polish attack on Nazi Germany. In doing so, Nazi [[propaganda]] used the "attacks"" as justification to go to war with Poland. [[Heinrich Himmler]] was the architect of the plan, [[Reinhard Heydrich]] supervised the planning, and Heinrich Müller was the overall manager. Himmler had the approval of Hitler for the duration of the operation.
