Without an end of the Holocaust, Hitler, in 1939, sends German troops to invade Poland, staring the Second World War. He believed doing so would provide living space for the Germans. The war ended sadly ending with the death of over 50 million service personnel and civilians , and also ending with the division of Europe by the United States controlling West Germany, and the Soviet Union controlling East Germany.
