I love the article about the Russians being concerned about the German advance. Poland’s fate via Russia had already been written.

Edward Beattie, the UPI Staff Correspondent in Bucharest, is on crack. He says the main Polish force has not yet been engaged, their retreat to prepared positions is deliberate and orderly, and their army is intact.

Instead, the 12 divisions of Poznan and Pomorze Groups that will start the Battle of the Bzura River today are all that’s left of the Polish Army. The rest has been herded into the cities or has been swept away.

The bit about the Russians being “concerned” about the German advance is pretty funny. It makes a nice pretext to execute the Partition of Poland they’ve already agreed to. But they could well be “concerned” for other reasons, and those will turn out to be pretty good reasons in a little less than two years.
