It attempts to compare the real reasoning for the attack with the reasoning that the Germans presented to the world before the war began.

Conclusion
From the Paper "During the summer of 1939 the Germans provoked several border-line conflicts and used them to increase tensions with Poland. They made Danzig their main base for coordinating provocative action. Gradually the executive committee of Danzig's government moved to Berlin. They allowed systematic violations of the city's constitution; Nazis in Danzig increasingly discriminated against Polish citizens and their government. A large amount of weapons and machinery were secretly delivered to the city. More and more "volunteers" joined Nazi gangs in Danzig."
Abstract A discussion of Danzigner's study on the history of experimental psychology. This paper basically traces the importance of learning about past experimental methods. It explains that the goal of Danziger's article is to offer those involved in the field of psychological research a chance to understand the history of experimentation. The paper presents an summary of Danziger's article, followed by an analysis and reactive interpretation.
From the Paper "The understanding of the history of psychology is not only pertinent to our advancement within the academic and applied areas, but provides us with the framework upon which psychology was established, popularized and became functional. Danziger (1985) discusses the significance of the history and development of experimental practices in the field of psychology within a social framework. In The Origins of the Psychological Experiment as a Social Institution, Danziger presents us with a description of models of psychological experimentation derived from the social structure of science within the relevant time period."
