Hitler was sure that if he invaded Poland, that France and England would not intervene. His reasoning was this:
1. He was sure that Poland's allies , France & England had no stomach for a war;
2. He knew that there was nothing the Allies could do to save Poland. There was no geographical way to save Poland from a major German onslaught; and
3. He knew that the Russian German Non Aggression Pact had a secret clause which allowed Russia to take one half of Poland once a war started. When the USSR took half of Poland, the West would see that there was no hope for Poland.

In September of 1939, Hitler invaded Poland. This did start World War Two, however, there are many facts that show that Hitler did not believe that France or England would go to war. For "insurance" he had just negotiated the Soviet-German Nonaggression Pact.

The Britons were incensed when Hitler had invaded Poland and other nations. They declared war on Germany but did not get involved in much fighting until months after the war declaration. France was invaded. The Brits came to France's rescue but that went sour. They knew Hitler would attack them and invade them so they geared up for war. Hitler's air force began bombing England and Scotland.
