German attack with artillery and infantry, Poland 1939
Wehrmacht soldiers advance across wooded terrain near the Vistula under covering artillery fire. Smoke marks the impacts as infantry moves into position. The fighting around the so-called Polish Corridor, which separated East Prussia from the rest of the German Reich, was among the first operations of the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Here the Wehrmacht employed new tactics coordinating artillery, infantry and air power that later became known as "Blitzkrieg."
