Here are a few of the links to research sites that I studied regarding World War II, the German invasion of Poland in 1939, Bedzin, Warsaw, Pervitin, Auschwitz, and the liberation of Auschwitz. I relied on libraries, historical societies, official government sites, encyclopedias, and other sites containing facts that I could verify. I researched everything, including the weather on a specific date and place, and what Poles ate during the Nazi occupation. No detail was too small for research.
