EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image graces the front cover of the September 16, 1939 issue of The Sphere, a renowned British weekly illustrated newspaper. The photograph captures the grim reality of the German advance into Poland during the early stages of World War II. The ominous clouds of war loom in the background as German soldiers and supplies press forward, marking the beginning of the invasion of the Polish corridor. The determination etched on the faces of the soldiers and the relentless march of their supplies convey the unyielding force of the German military machine. The Poles, who valiantly defended their territory against the invading forces, are not present in this frame, but their absence only underscores the stark contrast between the invaders and the invaded. This powerful image, captured by an unnamed photographer for Illustrated London News Ltd, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost and consequences of war.
