On the 1st of September 1939, Germany attacked Poland from three directions at once. Sixteen days later, the Soviet Union attacked from the east. The campaign lasted thirty-five days. This episode tells the story of how it began — with a staged radio attack and a dead man in a Polish uniform — and how it ended, with a joint German-Soviet parade in a city that had once belonged to someone else. And what it meant for the people who fought anyway, knowing they couldn't win.

Close your eyes. Open your mind.
