At the start of World War 2, in September 1939, Poland was invaded by both Germany and Russia. Germany invaded from the north, south and west and Russia invaded from the east. These invasions marked the start of World War 2. Image from https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/media_nm.php?ModuleId=10005070&MediaId=431

Poland was attacked by sea, air and land on all sides Poland was attacked by sea, air and land on all sides. Cities were bombed, including the Polish capital, Warsaw. It is estimated 200,000 people were killed in this early campaign of the war.

The Polish army was surrounded and tried to fight on all fronts but the speed and ferocity of the war meant it was impossible to fight alone. Some Polish soldiers were captured…

…. but most Poles were trapped and were unable to leave ….but most Poles were trapped and were unable to leave. They were forced to live under the occupation of the Nazis in terrible conditions. The people in this photo are in the Jewish ghetto. The man in the centre has removed his hat for the German photographer. Others are wearing armbands to show that they are Jewish. This was a terrible and tragic time in Poland and the world’s history.

Others managed to escape Others managed to escape. Thousands of people made a long, march through Russia, the Gobi desert, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and into the middle east. This was a long and extremely dangerous journey in tough conditions.

Some Poles escaped via the Romanian, Czech and Hungarian borders and eventually joined the assembling Polish army in other countries such as Syria, Iran, Iraq and France.

This British film shows what is what like for Polish people who had escaped Poland and fled to Iran. The father in this film may well have ended up in Scotland. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpJvDQVX_Dc

Many Poles wanted to help fight, to save themselves, and to free their people and Poland. As Poland fell and became occupied by the Germans and Russians, the Polish and government and army went into exile.
