THE MARCH THAT STARTED WORLD WAR II
POLAND: WORLD WAR II, which started on
September 1, 1939, and which ended with the
surrender of Japan to the Allies, realy began
when Adolph Hitler sent his armed might
marching into Poland in a tremendous push
which left shattered towns and hundreds of
innocent dead in its wake. In this photo,
a German motorized detachment rides through
a Polish town, badly battered from repeated
bombings by the then-powerful Luftwaffe.
