On September 1, 1939, Wehrmacht soldiers removed the barrier at the Polish border, a moment captured by the Associated Press. The invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht on September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of World War II. It was a historic turning point with ramifications that continue to this day.
Eighty-five years later, Poland held a state burial for the remains of more than 700 victims of Nazi Germany’s mass executions during World War II, recently discovered in the so-called Valley of Death in the northern part of the country.
