Seven minutes earlier, German air forces bombarded Wielu\u0144 &#8211; the town with no military targets. At the same time, Wermacht units were invading the country. Under their onslaught, the Polish Army began to retreat further into the country. Germans introduced their extermination policy on the occupied territories, committing the first crimes on prisoners of war and civilians. Despite an overwhelming prevalence of German forces, the Polish Army was holding out. On 17th September, under the Molotov\u2013Ribbentrop Pact, the Polish eastern border was crossed by the Red Army, stabbing the defending Polish units in the back. The war was lost. The state authorities and survived Polish units were evacuated abroad to Romania in order to continue the fight with the occupiers with the aid of the western allies \u2013 France and England.<\/p><p>Following a short battle, Bia\u0142ystok was seized by Germans on 15th September 1939. After a week of German occupation, meeting the provisions of the Molotov\u2013Ribbentrop Pact, the city was surrendered to Soviets. The fourth partition of Poland became a fact.<\/p><p>For the inhabitants, the two-year period of Soviet \u201cpublic order\u201d began.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-048e020 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"048e020\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-227cd26\" data-id=\"227cd26\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2270d29 elementor-align-center elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2270d29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/en\/exhibition\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0f98703\" data-id=\"0f98703\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb0dac9 elementor-align-center elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"bb0dac9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/en\/exhibition\/the-invasion-of-poland\/lower-half-of-the-identity-mark-of-a-pow-from-oflag-camp-xviii-a-lienz-drau\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Invasion of Poland Polish infantry\u2019s march(National Digital Archives) It all started on 1st September 1939.At 4:47 a.m. the battleship \u201cSchleswig-Holstein\u201d fired [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":2500,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-templates\/page_front-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2707","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2707"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2847,"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2707\/revisions\/2847"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mwb.com.pl\/re\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
