Anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War

It has been six years since the Germans started the most terrible war in history. The first German bombs were reserved just for Poland. The Polish people, who never wanted war, stood face to face with the criminal power of the world's fiercest fire-bombers. Cruelty and endless pride changed the Germans into the tormentors of Europe. They exploited every possible form of humiliation upon us. There was no crime they would not commit. The nightmare of German occupation in Poland lasted six years – longer than anywhere else in Europe. Warsaw capitulated on the 27th of September 1939. On the 2nd of May 1945 the white flag signifying an unconditional surrender were raised among the ruins of Berlin. The Polish soldier entered the German capital. The government of the Polish Republic issued an order to expel all German nationals from our motherland. Let them go back to where they came from. Let them now rebuild, under strict surveillance, the cities which were brought to ruin by the hand of historic justice. This is how six years ago the Germans were marching along Ujazdow Avenue. They thought they were marching to victory. They found no victory but instead found death. They found no victory, only the disgrace of captivity, the gallows, and the disdain of the world, and ultimately the justice they thought they had eradicated from the land.
