Dzisiaj pamiętam — Today I remember

Today I remember the events of September 17, 1939, when the Soviet Army invaded Poland from the east, effectively dooming the Polish plan to stand fast against the Nazi German invasion which began two weeks earlier. Though Poland had hoped for aid from her allies, Britain and France, none came. And so Poland stood alone in the world against two mighty armies. Still, Poland extracted a high price from her invaders and held out several more weeks before being overrun. Many Polish military escaped to the west, primarily Britain, where they fought the Germans throughout the war. Poles do not forget, it seems.

But today on history, Poland was divided by the invasion of the Soviets…. I remember….

  1. Great site, thanks!
    I’m working on a project about Kraków for expats, so I’ll check back here often.
