Nazi Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939, shelling a Polish garrison at Gdansk. Britain and France declared war on Germany two days later.<\/p>\n

Polish and German presidents Bronislaw Komorowski and Joachim Gauck will also meet to honour the war dead and discuss the war with young Poles and Germans.<\/p>\n

Mr Tusk laid a wreath at a monument to Polish victims of WW2’s first battle at 04:45 local time (02:45 GMT).<\/p>\n

He also referred to the current conflict between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russia separatists, saying it was not a time for “naive optimism”.<\/p>\n

Poland has been a strong advocate of sanctions against Russia over Moscow’s support for the separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n
