History and context
The Gliwice radio station is associated with the German Nazi false-flag operation of 31 August 1939, preceding Germany’s invasion of Poland. It is now a branch of the Gliwice Museum. Its technical heritage also provides a starting point for examining propaganda and the manipulation of information.
Take a closer look
Begin with the museum’s account of events, then study the structure. A striking tower is not necessarily a viewpoint: check access with the museum. One question remains relevant afterwards: how do we know that information we trust is true?
