August 29, 1943:
- August 28: "Germany imposes martial law on Denmark and abolishes the Danish-German agreement of April 9, 1940, which prevented German molestation of Jews.

"This is a page from the scrapbook of Kurt Franz, deputy commandant of the Treblinka death camp.
After arriving there in the late summer of 1942, Franz began to keep an extensive photographic record of events in the camp.
He later wrote, 'Everywhere there were corpses.
I remember that these corpses were already bloated.'
Franz was among the Treblinka personnel tried between October 1964 and August 1965.
He was sentenced to life in prison."
"A Jewish volunteer in a coastal artillery battery holds a shell on which is inscribed in Hebrew: 'A gift for Hitler.'
Formed in 1940, these units served as part of the British force in Palestine.
As news of the death camps reached Palestine, the desire for revenge grew among Jewish troops.
Ultimately, the British agreed to form the Jewish Brigade Group."
