`The Polish Campaign 1939

Roger Moorhouse is a British historian and author, specialising in Nazi Germany, CentralEurope and World War Two in Europe. He graduated from The School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES), University of London, and the Universities of Düsseldorf and Glasgow. Moorhouse was the co-author, with Professor Norman Davies, of "Microcosm: Portrait of a Central European City" in 2002, and has written a number of books, including 'Killing Hitler' (Cape, 2006), 'The Devils' Alliance' (Bodley Head,2014) - on the subject of the Nazi-Soviet Pact and 'Berlin at War' (Basic Books, 2010). Moorhouse's ‘First to Fight: The Polish War 1939’ on the German-Soviet invasion of Poland in September 1939, was widely acclaimed. The defence of the Westerplatte (1939 picture above) was an inspiration for the Polish Army and people in the face of German advances elsewhere and is still regarded as a symbol of resistance in modern Poland.
