The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: Newspaper

                September 9,1939
The Horror Continues
Hitler's Rampage can not be Stopped

     Day 9 of the invasion of Poland on September 1st and still many Jews are being rounded up and shipped off to many different concentration camps and prison grounds. As of today, the death toll of the Jewish inhabitants has reached an estimated 9,536.The estimated amount of Jewish  soldiers captured is around 43,000.

Adolf Hitler, the chief commander of the German army, and the German army have already defeated the Polish Air 
Force on the first day of the invasion.The Panzer divisions cut through the Polish forces at will and isolated them for later disarming.German battleship "Schleswig-Holstein" opened fire on a Polish naval depot and garrison at Westsplatte. An hour later, first German units crossed the border.

The outcome of the war so far has the Polish government planning to flee to Romania and France where they can organize their government.
The Polish army is not yet fully mobilized and unprepared for war. Poles responded to German attacks 1600 kilometres long front, attempting to contain the invading force in order to counterattack and protect industrial centers.

Reflection: The newspaper I wrote relates to the text because this news article was published on the 9th of September/1939 and the story takes place a few days later in 1939. Also, the news article is written from a German perspective as was the story"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". Although I believe I should've wrote my newspaper from a Polish perspective, I found it easier to write it from German perspective considering all the background information I know.

 I wrote this news article because I wanted a better understanding of the situation. I based my news article on factual information that was included in the text too. The map is just a visual that i believe summarizes the news article.
