Notes
Content: Picture caption: "Der Einmarsch der roten Armee in die ukainischen und weißrussichen Gebiete in Polen ist für England und seine Verbündeten eine sehr unangenehme Ueberraschung und veranlaszt das britische Lügenministerium wuterfüllten Kommentaren. Unser Bild zeigt einen deutschen Armeeführer und russische Offiziere in der [ehe]maligen Wojwodschaft von Bialystok während der Besprechungen über die Besetzung bis zur vereinba[ren] Demarkationslinie."
Content: As a secret part of the Russian-German non-aggression pact, the two countries agreed to divide Poland between them. On September 17, 1939, Russia invaded Poland under the pretext of protecting her interests there from wartime chaos.
