Officers receiving radio report at headquarters, Poland 1939

Inside the mobile Führerhauptquartier during the invasion of Poland, one officer reads a dispatch while another listens closely to a radio broadcast and types notes. Such glimpses of daily routine at the command center show how closely military leadership and news transmission via German state radio were intertwined. The brief shot comes from unedited footage on the outbreak of war in September 1939 and complements the scenes of Hitler's situation briefings at the same headquarters.
