WW2 anniversaries

The invasion of Poland began 65 years ago today; description of the Polish commemorations here. Further links: Auden's poem; Polish campaign; addresses by Chamberlain and Hitler.

Tomorrow will see another commemoration, on the USS Missouri, marking the 59th anniversary of the war's end.

The 60th anniversary of the battle at Arnhem (of A Bridge Too Far fame) is also coming up in a couple of weeks, and veterans are already gathering in London.
