" There was no peacefull negotiations from German side. And German aggression had no excusse. Hitler was not interested in peace. "Then why did Poland already have troops stationed in Danzig before Germany were went in to liberate it?" 1) Poland after WW1 was given a transit station in Free City of Danzig, place was called Westerplatte and was Polish territory, then there is no occupation here. 2) Free City of Danzig was protectorate of Leauge of Nations and some part of it's policy was under Polish control. 3)Germans do not liberate Free City of Danzig, they annexed it. "Reference which law at the time that stated that any aggression before a formal declaration of war was a "war crime"?" Two main international source of laws of war: Hague Convention of 1899 Geneva Conventions 1)In international definition action like attack on Pearl Harbour or German invasion on Poland are war crime. Because in both cases attacked side were not in a stste of war with aggressor. Any signals of comming attack or intention do not give a exccusse for aggressor. Germans attack Wielun before formal delacration of war and they attack target that was without confirmed presence of enemy combatants. 2)Even your sources inform that Germans had not any confirmed informations! They bomb target without knowing position of enemy force! And later they destroy civilian infrastrucure targeting local population! Lack of confirmation is rather point for accusation not for defence. Bombing city without confirming targets is in definition war crime!
