August 27, 1939. Poland defeats Hungary, the best soccer team in the world at that time 4-2. It was to be the “Last Game”, as it is known as in Poland.
It provided the last joy Poles would have for many years.
You scooped me! One of tomorrow's headlines (we're about ready to run the 8/28 edition) is "Poles Dig Trenches and Watch Soccer." But the writer, Jerzy Szapiro, forgot to include the outcome of the match in his story. Or maybe it was that Hungarian editor spinning the news again.
