Motorcycle troops with sidecars and an armored reconnaissance vehicle roll through the village of Witkowo in Sępólno county, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in September 1939. A clearly legible Polish village sign on a barn names the municipality, county and the responsible reserve district command in Bydgoszcz, pinpointing the exact route of the advance through the so-called Polish Corridor. Such motorized units formed the spearhead of the rapid German thrust that occupied large parts of western and northern Poland within days.
