A smiling German soldier removes the coat of arms bearing the Polish eagle from a building wall and discards it – a small but symbolic act during the Wehrmacht's entry into a Polish town in September 1939. Such acts recurred throughout the advance: Polish state emblems were stripped from public buildings, while the occupied territories of Pomerania and West Prussia were formally annexed into the German Reich soon after.
