WW2 was started over the Danzig corridor which was part of Germany until the Versailles treaty gave it to Poland (1918 Versailles Treaty).Hitler was pleading with Poland to give Germany a 1 mile access to their providence of East Prussia . Both parties were in agreement when in 1939 Poland suddenly broke off all negotiations. Britain and France guarantee Poland's defense (Anglo French Assurance Pact ) They secretly made a pact with Poland to come to their defense if Germany attacked. with the confidence of english and french support Polish Bolsheviks killed 58,000 German Nationals in the Danzig corridor. In the months leading up to the German invasion the Polish Army and independent Bolshevik units had been slaughtering German nationals in the Danzig corridor. Mass killings of thousands of civilian ethnic Germans (Volksdeutsche) by both civilian and Russian NDVK Jews, who were confident that Poland would quickly defeat Germany.On one day alone - Polish Jews, under the protection of the Polish Army, attack a small German town and viciously kill 5500 Germans, so Germany declared war and got their people out as well as their territory back.

As far as I can tell, there are a few main reasons Hitler invaded Poland, none of which involve coffee beans. - The Treaty of Versailles. The conditions of this treaty where rather harsh on Germany, who had lost the first world war, because the French weren't too fond of them. The main thing that got to Germany was it's vast loss of land, and the fact that it had to pay out a large amount of money due to it's role as a 'bad person' in the war. - The economical state Germany was in after the First World War. Germany had trouble paying back the money they owed other countries, and they kept getting poorer and poorer. Hitler saw that a lot of the land that had been taken from Germany after the First World War was industrial and agricultural, and produced money. So, he had a theory of 'lebensraum', or 'living room'. This would require taking back land that had been taken off him, and giving it to farmers and people who could use it to produce materials from it. This would also allow German to become less independent on other nations in the area of trade, allowing it to produce it's own natural resource and become more self-sufficient. - Appeasement. German had invade other places before it invaded Poland, and Brittan and other European nations didn't punish him for this, as they believed he would stop invading places when he got what he wanted. However, Hitler didn't, and by the time he got to Poland, many European nations where annoyed at him. There were also a few treaties in place that caused other European nations to get involved when he invaded Poland...thus causing the start of the 2nd World War.

the pretext was that the Gdansk territory, in Polish possession since the Versailles Treaty, was separating Eastern Prussia and Germany. therefore, when Hitler demanded that Poland renounce Gdansk (also called Danzig) and Poland refused, this provided Germany the perfect reason to invade Poland.

because Hitler was an insane megalomaniac that thought that by invading Poland he could get more coffee beans to shove up his tail. A sad waste of coffee beans.

I invaded Poland because they abuse the Prussian people. The murder rape and rob them. I had warned the Polish government so many times about these matter but that all fell on deft ears. Prussians are Germans. And the land the live and work in was once a part of Germany, that was ceded after WW1. These hard working people were being abuse because they were not Polish citizens and their standard of living was much higher than most lazy locals, that made the Poles very jealous.

Germany'sruler Hitler was obsessed with watching his back and with the idea of power. He needed more people in his army and the USSR was his friend at the time so they could watch that boarder; so in taking over Poland he was closer to the USSR and his ultimate plan of taking over the USSR later. There were many reasons. Why he decided to take over Poland.

The real reason is that all the other factors are true but Hitler needed a real reason and the only acceptable reason to invade Poland was f the pole's invaded Germany so what Hitler did was get a group of 20 or so inmates from sachsenhausen concentration camp drives them near the border with poland and got them to dress up as polish troops they were then told to march towards a light (which was a guard tower)at which the guard on duty shot all of the prisoners this was the photographed and germany was then given an excuse to invade does that seem plausible?
