ON THIS DAY: In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, igniting World War II in Europe. As an actor "world famous in Poland" in the 1983 comedy TO BE OR NOT TO BE, Mel Brooks curries favor with the Nazi leadership, hoping to see himself and the members of his theater troupe -- subversives all -- through the occupation alive.
