The Wehrmacht's attack on 1 September 1939 was followed by a Soviet Red Army invasion two weeks later.The people of Poland were then subjected to a terrifying campaign of murder, imprisonment and enslavement which only increased as the war dragged on.

They sent intelligence to the west, attacked German installations, carried out assassinations and rose up to confront their enemy, all against impossible odds.
