EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a defining moment in history - the German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. With 45 German divisions and aerial attacks, this marked the beginning of World War II. The image showcases the harsh reality of war, with soldiers and tanks advancing towards an unknown destination. The intensity of the scene is palpable as troops move forward with determination, their faces etched with both fear and resolve. The vehicles rumble across the landscape, leaving trails of dust in their wake. It is a chilling reminder of the destructive power unleashed during this dark period. Amidst all this chaos, Warsaw stands tall as a symbol of resistance. Despite being besieged for weeks, it defiantly holds out against overwhelming odds until its final surrender on 29 September. This photograph encapsulates not only the brutality but also the resilience displayed by both sides during these tumultuous times. As we reflect upon this significant event from over eight decades ago, let us remember those who fought valiantly on both sides - soldiers who were mere pawns in a larger political game. This print serves as a poignant reminder that war leaves no winners; rather it brings destruction and suffering to all involved parties.
