A long column of Polish soldiers, guarded by Wehrmacht troops, marches along a road into captivity. The footage joins the numerous images documenting the rapid collapse of the Polish army after the German invasion on 1 September 1939. Many of the prisoners spent the following years in German POW camps, while others were later released or put to forced labor. The material was shot unedited during the first weeks of the war.
