Germany and the Soviet Union's Secret Pact Sets Stage for European War
23 August, 1939 (Headlines)
In a move that has shocked the political world at large; the governments of Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have concluded and signed a treaty of mutual non-aggression. The released statements of many world leaders has ranged across the spectrum, from ones of rejoicing that the prospects of another great war in Europe has been avoided, to others who unofficially are seeking more information or are involved in a series of 'intense discussions' with allied governments.

Ladies and gentlemen today it is my sad duty to announce that war has returned to the continent of Europe as on this day the armed forces of Germany have invaded western Poland. Heavy fighting is reported by all sides, with Germany announcing 'deep, massive and sweeping penetration' by its armed forces. Allegedly the Polish army is already collapsing; surrendering in ever growing numbers and the government has fled the nation for asylum in Romania. Unofficial accounts from radio operators in Poland speak of continued resistance that is 'stout, strong and determined' in the face of the unprovoked aggression of Germany.
Many world leaders have strongly denounced this aggression on the part of the government of Germany, with France, Britain and the United States of America demanding that the armies of Germany cease all hostilities at once. This is to be followed by withdrawal to the original border, while an international mediation via the League of Nations occurs to settle the matter of hostilities between the respective governments.
No comment has been relayed from the German government.

The fighting continues on, with the government of Germany reporting more and more territory gained with each passing hour, while Polish sources report the main thrust of the German Blitzkrieg has been blunted, but that the nations casualties have been high. The announcement of the declaration of war by France and Britain has brought renewed hope for the beleaguered nation.
