72 Years Ago Today


On 1 September 1939 at 0630 hrs., Germany invaded Poland.

The Soviet Union rolled into eastern Poland on 17 September 1939 in accordance with secret protocols specified in the 1939 Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression pact.

By October, the last organized Polish resistance had crumbled.
Soon, night had fallen over all of Europe.

    It was a dark day. I fear such days will be coming again soon.

    It's somewhat difficult to believe Russians. Look at History.

    WoFat - it's always best to keep an eye or two peeled on the Rooskies.
