WHO STARTED THE WORLD WAR TWO
What a strange question, one would say... But is it really a strange one? Let's look what the modern historical research and the older stamps have to tell us on the subject.
"Following a German-staged "Polish attack" on 31 August 1939, on 1 September German forces invaded Poland from the north, south, and west. The Invasion of Poland in 1939 precipitated World War II." That is what Wikipedia tell us.
But it says also that: "It was carried out by Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and a small Slovak contingent."... "On 17 September 1939, the Soviet Red Army invaded the eastern regions of Poland in cooperation with Germany. The Soviets were carrying out their part of the secret appendix of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which divided Eastern Europe into Nazi and Soviet spheres of influence."
Now is time to take a look at a USSR stamp, the Scott 767, Mi. 736, SG 893a.
