A squadron of German Pzkpfw I Ausf. B tanks are passing the saluting base. The Second World War began when Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939. Britain and France declared war in response, but despite earlier assurances did nothing to help the Poles. Hitler, banking on western acquiescence, had already concluded a non-aggression pact with his ideological enemy, the Soviet Union, which launched its own assault from the east two weeks later. The Poles fought hard, but Hitler's armies triumphed by combining traditional encirclement tactics with a new form of mobile, combined-arms warfare called Blitzkrieg ('Lightning War').
