    Germany Invades Poland
    This lasted from 9/1 to 10/5/1939. The morning of 09/1/1939 German forces launched the assault on Poland. Army Group North attacked from Pomerania and East Prussia, while Army Group South pushed to southern Poland from Silesia and Slovakia. Per the lack of troops and strategy, and close proximity to the German front, Poland only stood a small chance. “INVASION OF POLAND, FALL 1939.” United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/invasion-of-poland-fall-1939.
