๐ฃ Human zoos were common in Europe, including Germany, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
๐ก In them, African, Asian, and other peoples were displayed in โnativeโ settings.
๐ด In 1940 Hitler banned this inhumane practice in Germany, which paved the way for the dismantling of these zoos across Europe.

(Polandโs Last Radio Broadcast Before Hitlerโs Invasion of Poland ๐ต๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ช)
๐ฃ On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany launched its invasion of Poland, marking the beginning of World War II in Europe.
๐ก The attack relied on Blitzkrieg (โlightning warโ) tactics, combining fast-moving armored units, motorized infantry, and close air support to overwhelm Polish defenses.
๐ด Major cities, including Warsaw, were heavily bombed, causing widespread destruction and civilian casualties.
๐ฃ On September 17, 1939, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, invaded Poland from the east in accordance with the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
๐ก With Poland attacked from two directions, its strategic position became increasingly untenable. Despite determined resistance, including fierce fighting during the Battle of Bzura, Polish forces were ultimately overwhelmed.
๐ด By late September 1939, Poland had been defeated and partitioned between Germany and the Soviet Union. Britain and France had already declared war on Germany on September 3, following the invasion, marking the beginning of the wider European conflict that would develop into World War II.
