Germans annex western Poland
Wednesday, November 1, 1939 www.onwar.com

In Berlin... Germany formally annexes western Poland, Danzig and the Polish Corridor. This adds the new districts of Posen, Greater East Prussia and Danzig West Prussia to the Third Reich.

In Moscow... The USSR formally annexes part of occupied eastern Poland and incorporates it into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, following the results of plebiscites (possibly rigged) in which the majority of the inhabitants living in the territory reputedly favored annexation.

In Holland... The government proclaims a state of siege in frontier areas and flood zones.

In Switzerland... Contingency plans are laid in case of an invasion.

Look at the ad on the very bottom for a “gay” belt from Paris when the word “gay” still meant “happy”

One look at that belt and you can see why the word “gay” started meaning “homosexual”!

:)

No offense to our gay fellow Freepers... just funny to see that ad.
