September 1st 1939

Post by :FI:Macca » Tue Sep 01, 2009 6:00 am

70 years ago nazi-ruled Third Reich invaded Poland, without declaration of war. Soon, on 17th September, USSR attacked Poland from east. Despite their promises and signed treaties Great Britain and France did not fullfill their obligations and in the west phony war started.

This was the beginning of the bloodiest war in the history of humanity.

Invasion of Poland

^:| to the fallen good people, soldiers and civillians, who defended their homelands, fought far from home for freedom of countries they never even seen or were sent to fight by their terror regimes.

I second that, Maciej. To all the ones who fought any kind of totalitarianism and just tried to be human beings ... :cry: ^:|

Butchered by Hitler and Stalin's cronies and betrayed by the Allies, the people of Poland who lived through this fecked up time and its aftermath have my heart felt sympathies.....

He will see by each man's face whether he be ill or well disposed toward thee. He will give down his life foe thee. (The Icelandic Saga of Nial,c . AD 970-1014
