    The tallest wooden radio tower in Europe. The site of the German provocation in 1939, which preceded the outbreak of World War II.

      Radio transmitter and tower from the 1920s and 1930s. On the eve of World War II, the SS and SD provoked the outbreak of war here. On August 30, the Gestapo arrested the Pole Franciszek Honiok. Honiok was initially detained at the police station in Gliwice. At 8:00 PM on the evening of August 31, the staged attack on the transmitter began. Immediately afterward, Honiok was drugged and taken to the transmitter, where he was shot. Honiok was the first Polish war casualty. Roger Moorhouse, Poland 1939 - The Outbreak of World War II
