17 sept. 1939 - Soviets invade Poland
Description:
The Soviet Red Army invades Eastern Poland, the territory beyond the Curzon Line that fell into the Soviet "sphere of influence" according to the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact; this renders the Polish plan of defense obsolete. Facing a second front, the Polish government concludes that the defense of the Romanian Bridgehead is no longer feasible and orders an emergency evacuation of all troops to neutral Romania.Ajouté au bande de temps:
