    1939 September 1 – WWII:
    At 04.45 Central European Time, under cover of darkness, the German WW1-era battleship Schleswig-Holstein quietly slips her moorings at her wharf in Danzig harbor, drifts into the center of the channel, and commences firing on the fortress Westerplatte, a Polish army installation at the mouth of the port of Danzig, Poland. These are generally considered to be the opening shots of World War Two. Simultaneously, shock-troops of the German Wehrmacht begin crossing the border into Poland.

    September 2 – WWII:
    Following the invasion of Poland, Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) is annexed to Nazi Germany.
