September 1939: The Dawn of World War Two - A German Motor-cycle Force Drives into Poland This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in world history as a column of German motorcycles and sidecars advances into Polish territory on the opening day of the Second World War. The date is September 1, 1939, and the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, which had long been anticipated, has finally begun. The Eastern Front of World War Two would become one of the most brutal and devastating theaters of the conflict, with millions of lives lost and entire cities reduced to rubble. The initial German blitzkrieg, or lightning war, strategy proved highly effective, with the Wehrmacht making rapid gains against the Polish military. The motorcycle force in this image, with its riders clad in leather jackets and helmets, embodies the modern and mechanized might of the invading German forces. The dusty road leading into Poland, with its trees and buildings in the background, serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of the conflict that was about to unfold. This photograph, taken from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant and powerful reminder of the events that precipitated the world into the darkness of World War Two. It stands as a testament to the indelible mark that the conflict left on the annals of history.
