What decision would American President Roosevelt take? While waiting for an answer to these questions, the Führer went to the opera house where the parliamentary meetings were taking place. From the rostrum, with a vibrant voice, he announced that, given the intransigence of the Polish position, he had ordered the army to invade Poland. He ended by saying that we will be chivalrous in battle, so that women and children will not be targeted. However, one of the first operations of the Luftwaffe in the bombing of Warsaw was to destroy the hospital for mentally handicapped children that was in the city.
