A column of Polish soldiers is marched under guard through a busy street, lined with onlookers watching the scene. Such images of captured Polish troops were part of the Wehrmacht's propaganda coverage of the rapid collapse of Polish defenses in September 1939. Within weeks, hundreds of thousands of Polish soldiers fell into German captivity. The exact location of the footage cannot be determined with certainty.
