    The bombing of Wieluń was a series of German Luftwaffe attacks on the Polish town of Wieluń on September 1, 1939, carried out by Ju 87B Stuka dive bombers as part of Operation Ostmarkflug. The sudden attack, conducted without a declaration of war, destroyed 75% of the town's buildings including the hospital and historic monuments. Casualty estimates vary significantly among historians.

    Some historians consider the bombing of Wieluń to be the first chronological act of German aggression against Poland, potentially marking the beginning of World War II, though there is no unanimous consensus on this matter among scholars.
