September 1, 1939, began as a peaceful Sunday that left the world shocked and changed forever, when German troops blitzkrieged their way through the Polish countryside. This 1943 War Department film contains footage of artillery and infantry attacks which resulted in the siege and capture of Warsaw on September 27, 1939. Much of the footage was shot by German troops and was later captured by Allied Forces. Over six million Poles were eventually murdered.
