From then on, everything went downhill…
The year is 1939. Spirits are tense. Poland is currently a “gray zone”, with the
German-Soviet Pact of August 1939 stating that the country is to be partitioned
between the two powers, enabling Germany to attack Poland later in the year,
without the fear of Soviet intervention.
DATE: September 1 st , Germany invades Poland. It is finally achieved after many
attempts from the German army to attack their “neighbors”. The “blitzkrieg”
strategy, as it would be later named, contained attacks from above and on land,
with bombings and troops. Poland was not ready for the carnage. The Polish
forces were severely under-equipped and help from the Soviets was nowhere to
be seen, allowing Germany to take over. Hitler’s goal in invading Poland was not
only to regain the territory Germany had lost in the previous war, but also to impose
German rule upon them. That was the cause that started World War II.
