German infantry, mounted soldiers and motorcyclists move into a Polish village in September 1939, greeted by residents with raised arms and waving. Such welcome scenes mostly occurred in areas of the Polish Corridor with a German-speaking population and were deliberately filmed by German crews for newsreel propaganda. Alongside the cheering crowd, the unedited footage also shows armed soldiers taking control of the village.
