This evening, we heard that Germany invaded Poland early this morning. Reports are sketchy, some from German radio, but there has been bombing of many towns and cities including Warsaw, and Danzig has been 'decreed' part of the Reich. It's understood that both Britain and France have delivered ultimata to Germany, and we have restated our support of Poland. We're mobilising the armed services.
The news was broken by the B.B.C. We just sat around the radio afterwards, sun shining outside like the world isn't falling to pieces. The girls asked if there was going to be a war, and for the first time I knew I had to be honest. I told them that I don't know, but that if it does, we're prepared. If that's the truth or not, who knows?
