Adolf Hitler steps down from his special train, accompanied by several generals; the train served as a mobile headquarters during the Polish campaign. Waiting officers and soldiers greet him with the Hitler salute before he proceeds to his command car. The train allowed Hitler to follow the Wehrmacht's advance close to the front without permanently leaving his command center in Berlin. The footage is part of unedited material from September 1939 documenting the symbolic opening of the Second World War.
