Misiuda, Hubert, born 23-03-1909, in Nieborowice, Poland 
.In 1932 he entered the community of O. Oblates. Missionary Oblates of MN, Congregation of Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) – a religious congregation founded on 25-01-1816 by the future Bishop of Marseille, Saint. Eugene de Mazenod, and approved on 17-02-1826 by Pope Leo XII.
Hubert studied philosophy and theology at the Theological Institute in Obra near Poznań. He was ordained a priest in 1937 and went as a missionary to Ceylon. After the outbreak of war he reported to the Polish authorities in Paris, who were organizing the Polish armed forces. Due to the lack of available pastoral positions, Field Bishop Józef Gawlina 
sent him to the Cadet School, from which he graduated with excellent results.
After the outbreak of World War II, on 01-09-1939, Germany invaded Poland, after a border conflict that the Germans themselves had faked.Operation Himmler, also known as the Gleiwitz Incident, was a covert operation organized under false flags by the SS 
to stage a Polish raid on a radio station on German territory in Gleiwitz, 
with which Nazi Germany attempted to justify the invasion of Poland on 01-09-1939. At the end of August, there is unrest at the Polish-German border. A farm of German farmers regularly goes up in flames, according to the Nazis set on fire by Poles. On Thursday evening, August 31, a few Nazis storm a radio station. They smash everything to pieces, the broadcast is interrupted by a Polish-speaking German who fulminates against Hitler, the Nazis and the Third Reich. They leave behind a corpse in a Polish uniform. The radio station is in Germany and the attackers are also German. The storming is the plan of the high-ranking SS officer Reinhard Heydrich, Reinhard Tristan Eugen, “The Blonde Beast”.. 
The intention is to give the impression that the attack was carried out by Poles. So that the German government can show the foreign press that Poland has repeatedly violated the German border, and thus can serve as legitimation for the German invasion of Poland. 
The corpse that is left behind later turns out to be a prisoner from a concentration camp who was given a lethal injection on Heydrich’s orders.
