The Invasion of Poland began on September 1, 1939, marking the start of World War II. Germany, under Adolf Hitler, launched a swift attack using blitzkrieg tactics, combining air raids, artillery, and fast-moving infantry. On September 17, the Soviet Union invaded from the east. The invasion led to Poland’s partition between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, resulting in Poland’s occupation and the war’s escalation.
